66. If it's Pence, it would be self-serving at least as much as "patriotic."

While he has to be careful in criticizing Trump publicly, his slim-to-none chance of being the republican nominee increases a bit if Trump is somehow cut off at the knees, so his support of Wilson's efforts would make sense.

Though I'm not sure I see Pence listening to a Rick Wilson podcast. Or even knowing how to.

Yep, secretly saying that does nothing. dem4decades Aug 2023 #41

Right? Secret messages to someone's show? AllyCat Aug 2023 #39

Yep. Even if you supported Trump because you thought he could be "managed", tanyev Aug 2023 #46

Agree. Should have spoken out then resigned a long time ago. Nt spooky3 Aug 2023 #55

Exactly. niyad Aug 2023 #71

epshteyn perhaps? lamp_shade Aug 2023 #7

I get the impression canetoad Aug 2023 #29

Speaks volumes that there are half dozen suspects+? Brainfodder Aug 2023 #74

I haven't seen the name Pence and that would be my guess Maraya1969 Aug 2023 #90

Very, VERY senior member and our eyes would pop out? Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #8

Jared and Ivanka don't know how to "serve" mtngirl47 Aug 2023 #9

True. They wouldn't even think to say the word "serve." Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #10

They didn't "serve". They worked for the tRump-Kuchner mob Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2023 #12

Yes they think that people who serve are fools and suckers. Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #15

Honestly those are the only possibilities that would surprise me ecstatic Aug 2023 #54

Pretty sure neither one of them got any patents. Ms. Toad Aug 2023 #96

Or Mike Pence? PatSeg Aug 2023 #56

My thought. BadgerMom Aug 2023 #69

Yes, I think that is as courageous as PatSeg Aug 2023 #79

"Spine"? Not sure sure - maybe the beginnings of a notochord. hatrack Aug 2023 #87

My bet, too (n/t) PJMcK Aug 2023 #76

Meadows... MiHale Aug 2023 #11

That's my guess too. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2023 #13

Meadows or Pence? Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #14

I considered Pence too, but he was a weak VP, despite being "in charge" of pandemic response Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2023 #17

Pence. He's growing more outspoken by the day. calimary Aug 2023 #33

I dunno if Meadows risks telling Rick Wilson something like that on condition of anonymity Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2023 #43

Or maybe Pence because he wants to be president so badly but is now deemed a traitor by the Lonestarblue Aug 2023 #16

Yes Pence is trying to re-hab his image now. Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #18

If it's Pence, it would be self-serving at least as much as "patriotic." thesquanderer Aug 2023 #66

All of the GOPers who are criticizing Trump now are self serving. Irish_Dem Aug 2023 #78

That's my guess, as well. However, GoCubsGo Aug 2023 #27

No, it's Pence. speak easy Aug 2023 #31

Considering basically nobody else was part of his admin 2016-2020 Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2023 #42

I doubt Jared ever regretted his 2 billion dollars. speak easy Aug 2023 #62

That was my impression as well PatSeg Aug 2023 #57

Why would Pence ask Wilson not to give out his name? Pence is on CNN right now allegorical oracle Aug 2023 #70

Contacting an anti-GOP group would sink his campaign, speak easy Aug 2023 #72

Agreed PJMcK Aug 2023 #77

I can see Giuliani saying that during a lucid moment tavernier Aug 2023 #21

That's a pretty big assumption - that he has lucid moments any more. :-) Wonder Why Aug 2023 #48

Ok, you win. tavernier Aug 2023 #75

Was he part of the Admin all four years, though? ExWhoDoesntCare Aug 2023 #97

Pompeo makes more sense. He was going to run for President JI7 Aug 2023 #91

Ivanka is my first guess. Pence is my second. nt AnotherMother4Peace Aug 2023 #92

I believe Ivanka sincerely regrets working in the White House FakeNoose Aug 2023 #94

Very interesting theory. Wouldn't put anything past them. Just Laura PourMeADrink Aug 2023 #106

Ivanka or Jared Poiuyt Aug 2023 #95
