Mike Pence says he could run for president in 2024 even if Trump also runs

Interesting development.

And, it's not like they appeal to different wings of the GOP -- they'll be fighting for the same base.

 

[ll74]

Of course he can

What are the odds that a Trumplitard takes him out?

It would be quite a humiliation for Trump, if he contests the nomination with his own VP and loses.

I would register as a Republican specifically to vote for him. (As a moderate, I am a member of neither party per se)

The irony being, I don't even LIKE Mike Pence, as his vision of an American "Utopia" rather strongly resembles that of the average Taliban fighter. But even he would still be better than Trump, for one reason- he believes in democracy and the rule of law, is a man of integrity and principles, and would serve as an elected leader, not a self-appointed dictator.

I think we've got pretty solid evidence that no one who believes the 2020 election was fairly conducted has any chance of being nominated by the Sore Loser Party in 2024.

Would we have to call his wife "First Mother?"

Pence, Pompeo, DeSantis, and Trump are all telegraphing plans to run in 2024 and have been for a long time. I’ll be surprised if any of them do not enter the primaries.

...'in his forthcoming book...'

Former Vice President Mike Pence published an excerpt from his upcoming book as a column in the Wall Street Journal, making it clear that John Eastman's quack theories about trying to overturn the election on Jan. 6 were known to be false even to him.

"I don’t want to see ‘Pence Opposes Gohmert Suit’ as a headline this morning,” Trump raged, according to Pence.

The former VP recalled he told Trump he was against it.

“If it gives you the power,” he asked, “why would you oppose it?”

Pence claimed he didn't believe the power existed under the Constitution.

“You’re too honest,” he chided. “Hundreds of thousands are gonna hate your guts. . . . People are gonna think you’re stupid.”

He's just another one who, until the last moment, saved it for the book rather than having any regard for the public good when it was needed and before damage was done and people killed.

I think desanctimonious will win in 2024, trump will cry election fraud and ultimately cut his wrists in a warm bath.

The one thing I will credit Pence , McConnell, etc with, is playing Trump and his Trumptards right up to the very end to achieve their goals of tax cuts for the wealthy and a Supreme Court that will protect the wealthy. Of course it's just credit for being more evil than another evil, but still.......
