Does Mike Pence not know how much he is despised and hated by the Republican base?

Does he truly believe that he has a political future?

IF he had the courage to do the right thing, he would go down in history as one of the good guys of the American experiment.

But, for some reason, he refuses to step forward. Perhaps he is fearful for his life?

Does he realize that he is the game changer?

...for him (like bringing about an officially Christian America), so he'll keep doing whatever he thinks keeps that dream alive.

Sorry but I don't follow your post. Did Pence do what he was legally obligated to do? Yes like many VPs before him, but that's hardly game changing. He has no following as far as I can observe and has not for many years. He's a perverted, low life groveling worm not a "game changer."

but nothing else he's done is respectable. It's good he thought he should not break the law, just like the Sec of State and Gov of GA, but look what they did - pushed through awful voter suppression laws so they can now subvert the election legally. Great people, NOT!

The cult of personality around the dumbass and the cult that clings to the Republican Party, no matter the circumstance.

You would think those that voted for impeachment would vote to protect our voting rights to keep these weirdos out of office - but they don't. I guess they won't realize that fascism puts them all at risk until it is too late.

Pence is not the brightest bulb in the room. He doesn’t have a snowballs chance in winning the primary, much less the WH. All those years starring adoringly at the big orange grifter in chief has gotten him nowhere. He actually had to call Dan Quayle DAN QUAYLE FOR GODS SAKE to find out what to do about certifying the election. Just go home to mother, mike.
