Mike Pence's 2024 Presidential Campaign Has Already Begun

[left-of-center2012]

Vice President Mike Pence has lately been a mainstay at Trump’s signature campaign rallies, seldom missing the opportunity to introduce the president while test-driving a few crowd-pleasing lines of his own. The vice president has his own political action committee and has been steadily expanding his travel as a surrogate for Trump, with a particular focus on Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

He’s scheduled to embark on a bus tour through Michigan on Tuesday without the president, who’s in India. It will include a speech to supporters in a hotel ballroom -- a sort of mini-rally.

People in and around the White House believe it’s a foregone conclusion that Pence will seek to succeed Trump. But he hasn’t firmly decided, and his nomination, let alone his election, are much less certain.

Taking the stage after the vice president at a rally last week in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Trump thanked Pence for the introduction. “I heard he gave a great speech. I never want it to be too good. I never want it to be too good,” Trump said, wagging his finger. “I said ‘Mike, take it easy. It can’t be too good.”

1. Campaign your heart out, Mike. You've got the charisma of a car accident.

2. Like trying to gin up support for a cadaver. Absolutely no personality whatsoever.

Even without his baggage which would sink a ship...

3. Good luck running as a 3rd term understudy

Almost nobody has been able to pull that off as a sitting VP, save for George HW Bush and Martin Van Buren; and then only because their predecessors were very popular.

8. Gore woud have except for the Florida mess

Biden may have in 2016, if he had ran. Not sure he could have beaten Hillary though.

4. He's like a more radical version of Jeb Bush

Has the personality of a rock. I wouldn’t even like his chances in a primary.

5. It's always good to know in advance who you're voting against.

7. I've been hoping! ...nt

9. 1. Unless Trump declares himself Dictator

For Life.
2. IF there are (s)elections post-Trump, Pence will have to wait 16-24 years for Junior, Ivanka's, and/or Jared to serve their two full terms.

10. Evangelical vote

I would expect he would get the evangelical repubs but not sure who else.
