An unwelcome nudge to Pence

INDIANA REPUBLICANS gave former Vice President Mike Pence an unwelcome nudge this week with a state Senate resolution that thanked Pence, a former governor and congressman, for his years of service and wished him the best in his “retirement.” Pence himself has given no indication that he plans to leave politics, using his short time since leaving office to pen op-eds against Democratic policy proposals, join a conservative think tank, and plan a speech in the pivotal presidential primary state of South Carolina. He does have a bit more time and flexibility these days, though: He was reportedly spotted with his wife, Karen Pence, at a suburban Washington Honda dealership last weekend. A spokeswoman for Pence didn’t respond to questions about the Indiana resolution.

2. He escaped with his life. I'm sure it was a welcomed nudge.

Just about anyone after years of torture needs a break. You know, White House Children being off limits and such. But now, if he wants to dabble in things, that's a different story.

NOBODY gives a shit!

as his former 'boss' said when he was called by the Vice President for a reference/recommendation: "Who's Mike Bence?"

5. Mike Pence proves, not even a personality, is needed to get elected with the tea-machine's support.

He will retire when his name is good for nothing but right now it still appeals to the evangelical supporters and the billionaires who just want another, good boy, to as Grover Norquist, reported, "sign the documents."

That group managed to get Bobbert, Green, Gaetz, Tuberbille, Cawthorn, etc elected.
