In this era of deep crisis and division in America, Mike Pence wants to be the Republican nominee for president of the United States in 2024, and he wants you to know that a Pence presidency (The Pencidency, you heard it here first) would be a comforting reassertion of the Republican Party’s familiar role as the placid, country-clubbing controlled opposition, never rocking the boat as the Left sets the agenda politically, economically, culturally, and in every other way.
If you want solid, stolid, poker-faced, self-righteous impotence and me-tooism, Mike Pence is your man. Solid, stolid Pence reinforced that perception Wednesday when he called out Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) for being so un-conservative as to do something actually to resist the Left and stop it in its tracks. Good, solid, colorless Men of the Right such as Mike Pence just don’t do such things.
Pence began by defending DeSantis’ Parental Rights in Education bill, which endeavors to stop the grooming of children in primary schools. The former vice president declared that he “fully supported Florida’s initiative to protect kids and protect parental rights.” He even offered an example of why such a bill was needed: “I was just in Iowa last week where literally there’s a school — the Linn-Mar Community School — [that] will allow a student to get a gender transition plan without parental notification or approval.” That’s ghastly indeed, and it’s good to see Pence speaking out against it. But don’t take that to mean that once The Pencidency was up and running Gray Mike would do anything actually effective.
Pence went on to hit DeSantis for going too far:

Pence is irrelevant and there’s no need to pay attention to him.
Pence is a gutless coward.
“I surrender all to the Democrats” is sadly a Republican tradition.
Because Compromise equals Conservatism.

Reagan didn’t want Poppy Bush. He was saddled with him anyway.
Is it pence or PUTZ? I can never tell the differnce.
Pence is the type of guy who would be busy writing a very erudite and principled letter objecting to a gang of men raping his wife, instead of trying to stop the gang of men from raping his wife.
Part of the “Aw shucks, its just politics; don’t mean nuthin’” crowd.
When in fact these leftists are evil, and you cannot compromise with them.
Pence needs to pack his sh!t up and move back to Indiana and write his memoirs which nobody will read.
He’s a putz. Anyone that needs his wife by his side in the presence of another woman is pussy whipped. That’s not presidential material.
Look at him. He’s a mama’s boy and has been in an empty suit since the day he was born.
pence, christian doormat conservative, backstabbrr.
They aren’t on his radar. Trump is.
“Look at him. He’s a mama’s boy and has been in an empty suit since the day he was born.”
And yet Trump picked him.
I get that. Pence is clean, washed, and does not pose a threat.
Modern “conservatism” takes a lot from Mr No Repeal Eisenhower ... if anything gets started it becomes something to conserve.
Thus Republicans may resist for a time but they hardly ever seem to roll back anything that gets pushed through.
Even Reagan said, “Entitlements are forever”.
Yep.
But forever has a habit of not being forever.
When the petro dollar goes belly up forever will be only until that day.
Some people think you have to be a doormat for wicked people to be a conservative when it’s actually just the opposite.
It’s the FAKE conservatives who refuse to stand up to the madness
Pence is a made man, certainly not a Christian.
Not even his wife trusts him.
