    1. Agreed. Maybe he could partner with Nikki Haley to form their own third party. He’d get the endorsement of Dubya, the Cheneys, Romney…and also the Clintons, Obamas, Kamala, Newsom….and they’d still lose!

      That would really be the only options though. A Pence-Haley ticket in the GOP would prompt many of us to reconsider Cornel West or Jill Stein.

    1. As much disdain as I have for Pence based on his “service to the country” as VP and his tme as governor, he is not a RINO. That designation far more accurately describes the MAGAts. Republicans used to be in favor of trade, alliances, the rule of law. The MAGAts are not Republicans. God knows what they are, but they are not Republicans.

  1. Can’t respect Mr Pence if his only issue with RFK is his prior stance on abortion. Unfortunately he now joins the clown car cabinet that will go down in history as the worst ever. Can’t we do better?

  2. I like Mike Pence….having said that, there’s no way he could have garnered the support of Musk to get rid of the swamp…we’re in the early stages and the left will re-arm to save it but it’s definitely on the ropes.

    As for Pence’s role on 1/6/21, his position was correct and any moron who can read, can read the Constitution….It’s very clear his roll was to open the certificates and they shall be counted. Trump was right about that election…but it was stolen in the months leading up to the election. Once the Electoral votes were in, it was too late and he and his team blew it beginning with not challenging the Unconstitutional election changes in Pennsylvania and elsewhere.

  3. One only need to look at his performance in Republican Primary to see who cares what Pence believes or has to say. I see a position at MSNBC opening soon.

  4. People throw the word RINO around with little understanding of the meaning. Like him or not, Pence is far more aligned with traditional republican values that the Trump/Musk crowd.
