Under what circumstances does Mike Pence think he can win the Republican nomination?

[kentuck]

Talk about delusional!

The cult hates him as much as any Democrat that might run in 2024. After all, they were going to hang him.

What makes him think they would ever vote for him? They want to kill him.

He is doing his best to get on their best side. He is telling them that 1/6 was just one day and we have to look at the big picture. Sort of like the Saudis telling you that 9/11 was just one day. Get over it.

But, the Cult wants to know why he didn't declare Trump the President when he had a chance. That was unforgivable in their eyes. Mike Pence is dead to them.

1. You're talking about the crowd who was chanting "Hang Mike Pence" aren't you?

Somehow, I don't think there is much chance of that crowd voting for him

[jimfields33]

2. He has zero chance.

Even in normal times only Bush senior and now President Biden made it to President from Vice President. Normally that position is a career finisher.

4. You're Forgetting Al Gore

[brush]

10. Huh? Although Gore won the popular vote, he never...

made it to the WH.

[SoCalDavidS]

11. Shrub Was Installed By The Supreme Court

Al Gore won the FL vote count when all the votes were counted.

[brush]

12. Yep. Then SCOTUS stepped in. trump's "win" was also questionable.

[jimfields33]

13. What? I never called him President and you didn't either.

14. That Was The Point I Realized We Were Living In A Shithole Country & Not A Democracy

I also realized my votes could be deemed worthless, if the powers that be decided it to be so.

And here we are with voting restrictions accomplishing EXACTLY that.

[jimfields33]

15. I do to. Worst ruling ever.

[VarryOn]

3. Too milquetoast. Nt

[tblue37]

5. Like many politicians, he might be running mainly to enhance his brand to sell merchandise or

to garner a regular talking head position on some network.

[bottomofthehill]

6. If everyone else running died of Covid, he might have a chance.

[meadowlander]

7. High stakes Mother, May I?

[GoodRaisin]

8. That question

made me laugh.

They may not have hung him, but he’s dead to them.

[11 Bravo]

9. Certain submissive male apes allow themselves to be ritually sodomized by alpha males.

While I have no doubt that Pence would willingly submit to Trump in this fashion if he thought it might benefit him politically, I doubt even that would be sufficient to satisfy the base.
Pence refused to trash the Constitution in fealty to their god-king, and they will never forgive him.

[marble falls]

16. In an Alternate Reality. Besides being 45 ex-Vice President, he's a total lox.
