Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday will call on Republicans to choose classic conservative principles over "the siren song of populism" he sees pervading the party, a movement largely inspired by his former running mate.
But he'll do so without directly naming Donald Trump in what's being called a "major" speech at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College.
Campaign advisers told reporters on a preview call Tuesday that the speech was not directed at one candidate in particular, such as Trump or biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, whom Pence has recently hammered over a slate of policy differences, but is intended to address a broader movement Pence and his campaign see rising not only in the race for president but in Congress and other flagship conservative institutions.
"The former vice president will say that there's a fundamental divide between ... limited government conservatism and populism, and that divide is unbridgeable, that populism and liberalism are on the same road to ruin," a campaign adviser said. "And for those who may mistakenly think this is targeted at Vivek, that would be much too small and interpretation of this speech." Pence on Tuesday, after a town hall in Barrington, repeated his warning against what he calls "the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles."
"There's positions that I take as a traditional conservative that are increasingly at odds with the frontrunner in this race and with others in this field. I really do believe that we are now, after Labor Day, engaged in an important debate over the future the party that will bear upon the future of America," he said.

Toss in the towel Mike.....your political career is over.
Dense is going to give a “major” speech?
I can’t breathe I’m laughing so hard.
Pence who?
Please clap
He’s only a “traditional conservative” in the sense that he kowtows to every Democrat demand.
Get lost Pence. You’re a disgrace to this country at best and a treasonous DNC plant at worst.
Feel the excitement.
Ooh, Pence is going to unburden himself of some deep thoughts.
Gee Mike, what do the Ukrainians say on the matter? After all, they are more important to you than simple Americans.
Mike “Traitor” Putz
“The former vice president will say that there’s a fundamental divide between ... limited government conservatism and populism...”
*************
When does Pence’s GOP ever push to limited and smaller government? They talk about constraining government but do nothing about it. Fedzilla just keeps growing regardless of the party in power. The only difference is where the money goes.
This guy is even as downright stupid as !Jeb.
Oh, ‘Judas’ Pence? Who gives a rat’s patoot?
LOL! Good one.
Pence is as shallow as they come.
Gosh, that’s a way to win votes: “Vote for me! The thoughts and concerns of you little people don’t matter. That’s none of my concern.”
Why even report what he has to say ? It’s completely irrelevant.
Pence is going to call us deplorables?
