Pence is a Cult Member, always has been, always will be.

Let bygones be bygones.

Pence looked infuriated when certification restarted on the 6th, and I think Trump is a big reason why. Pence understands the implications of Trump's involvement and his lack of response.

I could certainly be wrong, but I think he's done with Trump.

She'll sell it on all the talk shows and the book will make the Pence's a fortune.

Well, at least in the past 60 years, beginning with VP Nixon.

GOP extremist candidates and positions are from the conservative "christian" voting bloc.

Their political influence must be blunted and the means to blunt the influence is by (1) making them play by the rules as far as taxes and education, and (2) by not providing de facto dominance as the standard in social / cultural norms. The conservative churches harm individuals and harm society and seed and incubate mental illness.

Pence is functionally a compromised zombie.

He doesn't have what Republican primary voters want anymore.

They (inexplicably to me) actually like Trump's crudeness and abrasiveness. There was a time when Pence's dull-as-dishwater personality might have worked, as long as he spouted enough "family values" and pro-gun rhetoric. But that time has passed.

Perhaps Pence is delusional enough to run anyway, but I'd bet good money he'd be forced to drop out early in the primaries if he did.

He is a terrible candidate and will get chewed up in the primaries.

Nikki Haley will have a substantial advantage in Iowa. All the other known male candidates are about to vote against the most popular legislation in 4 decades.
