WASHINGTON (AP) — When former President Donald Trump was asked to list those he considers the future leaders of the Republican Party, he quickly rattled off names including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz. Conspicuously absent from the list: Mike Pence.
The former vice president is steadily reentering public life as he eyes a potential run for the White House in 2024. He’s joining conservative organizations, writing op-eds, delivering speeches and launching an advocacy group that will focus on promoting the Trump administration’s accomplishments.

GOPe floating a lead balloon
But rest assured, if he is the Republican nominee, BobL will be here telling us that WE are duty bound to accept him or else WE are to blame for every evil that the Democrats perpetrate.
The “beef” is that he is a gutless wonder.

Boy! did you get that one right!!!
AP would LIKE Pence to be the candidate.
Then again the media and Democrats thought that Donald Trump would roll over like McCain and Romney.
They kept saying that Trump didn’t even want to really be president and that he would step down. Called them out on that fake news, didn’t he?
JEB!
Pierre Romney
Rubio
etc
He’ll fit right in as a Democrat, a traitor who abdicated his oath to uphold the Constitution.
No Pen(i)ce.
Oh, boy. How many ways can I say NO? Want nothing to do with him.
Mike is a fellow Hoosier, and a nice guy, but he’s not a fighter.
We need someone who is going to LEAD the Nation back to a solid foundation.
Ol' Mitt must be having a GOOD day this morning!!
Just like last time, we got Obama because ELSIE would NOT vote for MITT!
So were several others, some of them have probably watched professional wrestling long enough to know how to make a living by changing sides regularly.
He may not be a traitor but he sure is a pussy. He should have refused to rubber stamp the coup. Make the pigs work for it, whether it would have made any difference in the end is immaterial. He stood there and said that senile old POS won when he didn’t. He handed over his own job to that knob-gobbling whore with a smile. And now the “President” is a senile deep-state puppet (essentially he’s the Queen of England) and the “Vice President” is a slag who rose to the top on her back. More disgraceful than Obama if you ask me. To go along with that to any degree is unacceptable. If he wasn’t man enough to stand there and say no he could have at least absented himself and let Grassley or Leaky Leahy do the “honors”. Pathetic.
Hindsight is 20/20 but he was a good enough VP choice for winning the 2016 election, a “bland” conservative with socon cred was exactly what was needed to bring the party together. Other top choices were worse. Fat ass Christie? He was the runner up.
It was clear early on though that he was no “heir”. As VP-elect he went to see “Hamilton” (a questionable choice to begin with) and told his kids approvingly “this is what democracy sounds like” when the cast booed him for no reason. I ignored it at the time but talk about a red flag. That was a straight up Bush move.
Look deeper into his past and see apologized for “negative campaigning” after his first (failed) run for office. You can argue it was ploy cause he thought he lost by being too “mean” but damn.
As far as I am concerned he is a damn traitor. He not only betrayed President Trump. He betrayed America.

He looked, sounded and mostly acted the part.
But in the end, when it really mattered, he p*ssed out. Might as well run as a RAT as far as I’m concerned.
