Repugnant in a mirror than TSF.

I'm not saying he's much of a bev, but he's not as vomit-inducing of a sight as his former running mate.

and a lower leg by angry MAGATs before he'd "get there."

So, what is the fundamentalist poster boy for the Evangelicals going to say to his former flock who want nothing more than to support Trump and his march to "Xian" Nationalist Fascism?

Like nearly all of us., we thought you and mother would party over country and personal safety.

Cause we all know, if TFG wins, pence will be in a gulag with pelosi and other democratic leaders.

But seriously, I'm glad he's finally standing up to the guy who tried to have him and his family killed.

Pence already got what he wanted anyway, which was an ultra-right theocratic Supreme Court.

... it comes as no surprise, sure... BUT there is a surprise... Pence was his VP. He watched him - up close. I've never met Donald Trump and I figured him out easily. What took Pence so long?
