11 thoughts on “In weighing 2024 run, Pence tests whether there is political life after Trump

  1. Pence’s “base” of admiring supporters consists mostly, if not only, of Christians. In a 2017 survey of such potential voters, fewer than a third of this segment of voters described themselves as “evangelical.” But even fewer said they qualified by “beliefs” as evangelical (i.e., they not only talked the talk but walked the walk). It would be difficult to win the nomination and impossible to win a general election with such a small base of voters. And because Pence has effectively branded himself as “a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order” there is not much room to grow his base (a Gallup survey last year found that only 36 percent of respondents described their political ideology as conservative, while another Gallup survey earlier this year found only 40 percent of respondents identified themselves as Republican). His only hope is for a miracle, and that too would be a long shot.

    1. Look at the upside, Bob … no term limits. And no need to worry about getting primaried or losing a general election or raising campaign dollars either!

  2. Pence should write a tell-all book, make millions and retire. At least then he could try to reclaim a shred of decency and hopefully help purge Trump from politics. I can dream, can’t I?

  3. Ignoring the requests of the top 12 CEO’s from Indiana who asked him not to sign the RFRA act when he was governor doomed him. He would not have won re-election as our governor…

    1. Right, Bill J: Your post reflects total ignorance of the provisions of RFRA. If you’d read something other than the east-coast-editorial rants of the left-wing Indianapolis Star and the whinings of woke, spineless, CEOs, you might have some concept of what the bill actually represented.

    2. I used to think that too, Bill, but I think he would have rode the Trump wave to re-election. But he was looking very dicey when he bailed on being the governor of Indiana to become Trump’s VP.

      Pence’s time in office has shown he’s not good at being in elected office; witness his checkered time as governor and the fact that he didn’t actually get one bill passed into law during his time in Congress. Compared to what Daniels and Holcomb accomplished, the four-year Pence term looks like a mistake. But Mike talks a real good game and got three government pensions out of his career, so I don’t feel all that bad for him.
