    I’m seeing a bunch of people who haven’t learned from the last 50 years. He doesn’t endorse him now. He will when he’s named nominee.

      This is the comment. News like this propagates the way it’s supposed to on social media without enough people pointing out this happens time and time again

    Pence knew what Trump was planning. He even went to former Vice President Dan Quayle for advice.

    All Pence had to do was go on some of the national news shows and personally tell the public that Trump had lost and that Biden would be sworn in not matter what.

        Two thoughts.

        Yes, he picked a man known as an idiot to decide the fate of the Republic.

        Compared to most of the current GOP, Quayle stands like a colossus

      A spine would make him endorse Biden, this is more of “he actually tried to murder me, I won’t endorse anyone then”.

        There were still plenty of other Republicans in that position on J6 who have come out to support Trump

          Yeah, but they still need to be elected and can’t piss off the trump cult. Pence is almost 65 and after his dismal showing in the primaries has probably decided to quit politics. So he has a little more leeway to speak out.

            Mitch McConell is 82, can comfortably expect re-election indefinitely, faced just as much threats by the MAGAts during J6, and is still endorsing Trump.

            I’m not one to say that Mike Pence is a good person, but he’s taking an unpopular step against his party on his own principles. It’s kind of “a broken clock is right twice a day,” but I will applaud a shitty person standing up to a really shitty person.

    Imagine if you will you have a direct communication link with God. He tells ya, “You’re gonna be the prez of the US, Mikey.” And then this orange turd of human being says, “Be my vice prez, and you’ll be one heart attack way from the Oval Office.” All you have to do is give up the entire moral structure you’ve based your life around. But God said it would happen, right?

    Then the bronze shit stain tries to get you killed because you have one, single, last thread of what you were that even God himself wouldn’t ask for you to give up. But still there’s that hope. “But God said…” So you hang on while the golden idol’s flying monkeys boo you every time you step in front of a crowd. You hang onto hope until finally you realize what you thought was God --in fact-- was your own inner dialog bouncing around the insides of your cavernous skull.

    That’s why Pence, after it was all said and done, finally won’t endorse the antichrist.

    Doesn’t change the fact he refused to fully cooperate with investigations of Trump’s actions on and before 1/6.

    Mike Pence will forever be a coward.

    It’s mildly interesting to consider how many people Trump has near-literally shat on just for them to open their mouths and say yes please after. Why not Pence? This can’t be a spine, right?

    Media: Mr. Pence, will you be endorsing Trump in 2024?

    Pence: No. Wait yes… maybe? Wait… yeeee-no. No. Yeah I’m sure. Yes. I mean no. No.
