Did he do like the hand symbol for pussy in the discussion to really drive home his point?

The evolution of the co-opting of the term “patriot” is fascinating to me.

That's actually great advice from Mr. Trump. He just doesn't realize why.

That whole article outlining the last few weeks of Pence and Trump interactions almost makes you feel bad for the guy, but he made his bed. Honestly Pence probably convinced himself his purpose in life for four years was to babysit Donald.

Among other excellent reasons, Pence has gotta be super pissed that Trump turned MAGA against him. He was surely counting on MAGA votes for a potential 2024 run.

Maga was never going to transfer to pence, I doubt pence was delusional enough to believe that.

MAGA 2024 is probably Kid Rock's for the taking.

DeSantis is the most likely maga heir

He's reportedly been thinking about 2024. Do you think he's indifferent about Trump turning any potential voters against him?

It helps explain why Pence was willing to put up with the bullshit if he had ambitions of his own. I don't think he thinks he was put on the Earth to be a Trump toadie. And Trump just blew up all that effort. Lol.

I don't think anyone else is shameless enough to make MAGA work the way Trump did. Ted Cruz might be able to morph himself into that, but he's not there yet.

Mike pence is a loyal party soldier, but everyone including him knows/knew that he would never get presidential support

I could see Pence making a decent primary run, sort of like Rick Santorum did. He's not going to win, but he could finish second.

That seriously makes no sense. He was a governor. And Vice President. He has a eff ton of ambition.

chum1 · « **Reply #16115 on:** January 13, 2021, 01:19:56 PM »

Like, Pence just ended up governor on accident. "Hey, I guess I'm governor now. Don't know how that happened. Whatever."

star seed 7 · « **Reply #16116 on:** January 13, 2021, 01:20:58 PM »

Ambition does not equal ability. Santorum is a great comparo

What about reports of his interest in running?

star seed 7 · « **Reply #16118 on:** January 13, 2021, 01:26:44 PM »

I'll leave open the possibility that Pence is delusional enough to believe he could be president. He does believe in a magic sky man who won't let him be in the same room as a woman afterall.

Hawley sure has got the personal grievance part down.

Luckily there are few that have the lack of morals and the attitude to do what Trump did to the level of success he did. Manson was up there as a good one too I guess.

It's going to be great when the mods can lock this thread in 7 days.
