I think Pence deserves some credit for refusing to try to overturn

[raccoon]

The election.

Now I’m no fan of Pence. If he had done as Trump wanted, I imagine it wouldn’t stand up in court anyway. But it would’ve been making a bigger dumpster fire than everything already was. I wonder what Hawley or Gaetz would have done.

He could have been assassinated by the lawbreakers storming the Capitol.

Anyone who would work for or with Trump should know that sooner or later, Trump will throw them under the bus.
It’s kind of like going on a date with Ted Bundy. You know it’s not going to end well.

Although for four years, he co-signed Trump’s bullshit, I’m glad he stood up there at the end.

I thought a while about posting this, but here goes.

1. And water deserves credit for being wet. n/t

[Ohio Joe]

2. Credit for not trying to violate the constitution?

I'll pass.

[theneworiginal]

16. He had an obligation to report what he KNEW was going to happen. It cost lives. nt

[Deuxcents]

20. Me, too

[Turin_C3PO]

3. His grade is upgraded from an F to a D-.

I’m glad he stuck to the law but in a lot of other instances he has been a coward.

[safeinOhio]

30. Bingo...

Agree 100%

[JI7]

4. Do we deserve Credit for stopping at a Red Light ?

[malaise]

9. This

the truth

[Towlie]

37. Does the teenager who murdered his parents deserve some compassion because he's an orphan?

 
?

[secondwind]

5. It took some grit, raccoon, I have to agree.

It would have been easier to stay silent. I give credit where credit is due.

28. Stay silent? Wut?

The guy was on the hit list. I don't recall him protesting that. What did he say? He just refused to 25A Trump, that's all. What did I miss?

I'm telling ya, I just don't understand how anyone couldn't see the coup attempt for what it was. The GOP are sleazeballs for still supporting Trump. And, Pence is weak, and calculating.

[Paladin]

36. Pence is obviously weak. I don't credit him with enough brains to be calculating. (nt)

[EndlessWire]

40. LOL! n/t

[Marius25]

6. He should get credit for doing what he's required to do by law?

Should I get credit for not robbing a bank today?

[EndlessWire]

29. Yes, I'll give you some credit for that.

Pretty soon we'll all probably quietly think about it.

[Happy Hoosier]

7. That's like saying....

I deserve credit for NOT robbing a bank when I need some bucks.

Doing one's Constitutional duty is the bare minimum.

[SlogginThroughIt]

8. Credit for not committing sedition?

He would try the country into a theocracy given the chance.
Fuck that guy.

[catbyte]

10. I get what you're saying, but it's such a sad state of affairs that we even have to

think about "giving credit" to a politician for not destroying the Constitution in order to prop up a dictator wannabe, but here we are.

[malaise]

11. I disagree

Trump needs to be locked up. Pence merely followed the law

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

12. Putting the pin where I think it belongs...

If Pence went along with Trump and forced the return of the electoral ballots to the states at that time (Jan 6) Trump still had time in his presidency to do real damage, as if that action wasn’t enough.
Due to the uproar he would have declared martial law and retained his place of power.

If you don’t believe there would be protests, confusion, yelling and screaming and lies, lies, lies about what was happening and Trump would not take advantage of that scenario you’ve been asleep for years.

Pence did not allow a coup to take place.

Absolutely no fan of Pence either.

15. The bar is set so low for Republicans

He didn't commit crimes against our Democracy, whoopty doo. I didn't murder anyone yesterday, do I get a cookie?

[Wawannabe]

17. If he would have 25th

THEN. I WOULD GIVE HIM SOME CREDIT.
But he is a COWARD.
SO
NOT NOW. NOT EVER.

[tman]

18. Nah.

[Tom Rinaldo]

19. That's only because Republicans are graded on a curve

But relatively speaking, sure. Based on that curve he avoided a failing grade.

[llashram]

21. I don't

[Wounded Bear]

22. He actually did his job. Yay. That enough enthusiasm for you? nt

[MineralMan]

23. He had no choice in the matter.

He was advised of that. He deserves no credit for doing what the Constitution requires. He swore an oath to that effect.

To Hell with Pence!

[Mattgoetznolovefromm]

24. I'd like some credit

for not murdering anyone in the last 24 hours.

[MyNameGoesHere]

25. Credit for doing his job? Hell no!

Now if he would have resigned because he found insurrection unacceptable, maybe. He is a evil rat fucking POS snake republican and will always be that.

[Yeehah]

26. He gets credit for being sane

That's about as far as I go.

[Hoyt]

27. He's not as deplorable as trump. But he's still deplorable. But I understand what you mean.

[PCIntern]

31. exactly..

[safeinOhio]

32. The same crowd that yelled "Lock her up"

were yelling string him up.

[Ferrets are Cool]

33. You, of course, have that right...

I will give him NO credit whatsoever.

[MrsCoffee]

34. I think he deserves credit for being part of the problem to begin with.

He stood by complicit for four years.

Fuck Pence.

[demtenjeep]

35. ONE DOESN'T GET CREDIT FOR DOING THEIR JOB-THEY GET PAID PENCE IS A POS REMEMBER PERIODS FOR PENCE

DON'T GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR DOING HIS JOB AS HE SHOULD HAVE

[AnyFunctioningAdult]

38. Pence deserves one thing

He deserves to be able to quietly retire knowing when it really mattered he did the right thing. That is all.

[LizBeth]

39. People would tell me what a good mom I was. I would say, doing my job. I do not get a pat on

back for simply doing what I am suppose to do. Pence does not get a pat on the back for not overturning an election.

[Demsrule86]

41. I agree with you.
