Mike Pence destroys his remaining goodwill among MAGA Republicans: It’s hard to say if Pence a useful idiot for the Democrats or if he was an establishment Republican pretending to be a MAGA Republican
American Thinker ^ | 03/15/2023 | Rajan Laad

As Vice-President, Mike Pence was reviled by the DC Democrat establishment and their PR wing that masquerades as the news media.

Pence is religious, conservative, and pro-life, he also believes in marital fidelity and traditions. He seems to stand for everything that liberals abhor.

They disparaged Pence as anachronistic and misogynistic because he revealed that never dines alone with a woman other than his wife and neither does he attend any event where alcohol is served unless his wife is present.

When Pence was lectured by the sanctimonious cast member of Hamilton the media applauded it.

They mocked Pence each time he led prayers in the White House alongside Trump.

When a fly landed on Pence’s forehead during the 2020 vice-presidential debate, Pence was compared with excrement.

The attacks received by Pence paled in comparison to the Trump Derangement Syndrome that plagued all liberals not just in the US but beyond.  It would be fair to say that Pence was attacked by the media the same way Romney and McCain were during their respective Presidential runs. It wasn’t personal or destructive as it was against Trump.

But since leaving office Pence has been the recipient of favorable treatment by the media.

I’m split down the middle on this one. No, he isn’t useful. And yes—he’s an idiot.

He certainly had no remaining goodwill with me. This author is kidding himself.

3 years ago today Trump addressed the nation March 16. Travel restrictions, no attendance of events with 10 or more people, no eating in restaurants. Etc.
as president, he violated the bill of rights.
He took your rghts and to be sure it is permanent.. he gave them mail in ballots and attacked 2A with his bumpstock ban.

He relied on other people’s advice

They had their own agenda

Name me one politician who would not have locked down the country when faced with this circumstance. What would you have done if you were president without the benefit of hindsight?

“No it isn’t hard to say. Bush was to Reagan, as Pence was to Trump. Put there to undermine and watch.”

Pretty accurate.

When the GOP insiders fail to get the nomination for one of their own they demand the VP slot as the price of cooperation.

Reagan would have loved to have had Paul Laxalt as his VP. He should have dumped Bush for him in 1984. Trump was such a unique outsider he didn’t have an ally that we know of.

He is always hiding behind his wife’s skirt and his pious Christian act

Wonder why - maybe to keep Mikey from bumping into the wrong chicken hawk. The endless backstabbing, the siding with the scum who stole the election - Mikey - got a few skeletons in your closet, do you? Why else would you slime yourself to the max?

Presidents can’t make laws. I disagree with a lot of what he did, but he didn’t ban gatherings of 10 or more people. He may have SAID it, but there’s no avenue For a president to actually do that.

He was ALWAYS a deep state rat. Trump has to STOP placing back stabbers into his inner circle - including Kushner, Pence, Christie and Omarosa.

He’s an establishment republican. So is the leadership of both houses of congress.

Semi-Caved for Sales Force - they built their 2nd HQ in Downtown Indy - Pence thought Sales Force would move everything from SF to Indiana

He got Toyota to move their Material Handling HQ from So Cal to Columbus, IN - that was a big win for the State.

Valid points. Hopefully this otherwise fine President has learned from his experiences in the DC snakepit and will do much better in his second term. Cheers!

I wouldn’t vote for Mike Pence if he was the last man standing. Another RINO fraud pushed onto Trump like Bush was pushed on Ronald Reagan.

I lost all respect for Pence when he folded like a cheap suit after signing the RFRA in Indiana.

RFRA = Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Would have allowed businesses to refuse service to LGBTQ based on the persons religious beliefs.
