Should have walked when the Access Hollywood tape came out.
He badly wan’t to be VP, thinking he could have a positive impact on Trump. And that he would with God’s help one day succeed Trump and rise to the presidency. It was naive, wishful thinking.
Mike sold a lot of folks on holding their nose and voting for Trump. They’ve since dumped folks like Mike and gone all in on Trump.
Which I doubt is what he thought the outcome would be … but he bears responsibility for it.
Unless it was all worth it to pack the Supreme Court. Maybe it was.
Mike’s a good man but lacked the charisma and the toughness necessary to attain the top job.
He was a good balance to Trump’s personality, but he doesn’t have what it takes to be a front man.
Makes Dan Quayle look like an accomplished and visionary Veep.
He will recede and become a footnote in American history. At least Hoosier former Veep Charles Fairbanks has an icebox in Alaska named after him.
Probably anyone other than Mother could have told him this is how it would work out.
Mike was a man of character and high morals. I really hope that Republicans (and I’m a life long one) soon wise up, forget about Trump, and rally behind someone that can win a national election and has a lot more integrity than Trump.
Terry B., I agree 100%. God help us.
I agree with Terry B, when will the party wake up and think about what is best fo rour country. Trump has torn, and continues to tear our country apart. There are good people in the party, they need to come forward and be supported, all for our country!!!
That ship sailed years ago. It’s Trump’s party, remade in his populist image. You either support it or you get out. There’s no equivocation.
Hi James!
You could always latch on to the donkeys like the tail to Eeyore, exactly as a few Never-Trumpers did. But be warned: if you waver, they’ll be a whole lot meaner than MAGA can ever muster. MAGA might be fanatical sometimes, but unlike MAGA, they have boatloads of institutional power and will use it to destroy you. Just ask Tulsi Gabbard.
But I’m sure that the party of “unity” and “democracy”–which also happens to be the party presiding over doubling homicide rates, legitimization of shoplifting, graffiti everywhere, defecating in public, every single riot in the last 20 years (minus one that took place on January 6), and the closest we’ve come to World War III. Yes sir, they are the party with the “good people” who will bring everything back together.
Keep ridin’ with Biden in 2024 James…to save our Democrassy!
I agree, Mike is a good and decent person. I don’t agree with his politics, but he is a good and decent person. Trump rescued him from the defeat that would have been Pence’s 2016 gubernatorial run, and the deal with the devil was to deliver the Christian right to Trump. He did, and we see where it got him. Back home again in Indiana.
Hanover College, here he comes…or maybe IU McKinney. Of possible solace: unlike many VPs, Mike’s name will likely not be forgotten for some time…
Pence tried to have it both ways.
They literally wanted to hang him on the lawn of the Capitol building and he still couldn’t denounce what happened that day and turn his back on the fascist-lite administration he was a part of.
If he had used Jan. 6th as a chance to step up, take the moral high-ground, demand impeachment, and forcefully restore what it truly means to be a Republican he could have become a true leader in a Profile of Courage kind of way.
Instead, he was largely spineless until it was way too late. Good man. Not a leader.
Always fun watching the unipartyist Deep State Defenders come out in droves. IBJ seems to attract them like flies to a dead elephant.
Jan 6 was the opportunity to admit that the election was obviously rigged, that the rigging took place after 7pm on Election night, that the State runs so Deep that its Legacy Media will defend it at every turn (including harnessing the FBI to create an American version of the Reichstag Fire, with the Legacy Media to cover for it), and that the donkey party just did everything it has done in its previous incarnations: Tammany Hall, voting corpses in urban America in the 1970s, Jim Crow.
The only difference is that the cons of yesteryear (Pence’s predecessors) had some spine (very little, but some) to stand up to it, in stark contrast to the neo-cons of present (Pence and his ilk).
RFK Jr is still a better presidential candidate than Pence. Or Haley, Christie, Hutchison, Burgum…
