Not an April fool’s joke, but it might as well be.
Two media reports [Here and Here] about former VP Mike Pence considering a potential run for President in 2024 present the most laughable political hypothetical in recent memory. Particularly, and specifically, because even President Trump would likely not include Pence in a short list of people for endorsement.
“WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump recently rattled off the names of those he viewed as future leaders of the Republican Party, including Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz along with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Conspicuously absent from the list: Mike Pence.
The former vice president is steadily reentering public life as he eyes a potential run for the White House in 2024.” (read more)
Newsmax has a similar story outlining steps Mike Pence appears to be making to lean forward to the 2024 GOP primary. However, as pointed out by both articles, President Trump has not included his former VP in any positive affirmation about the future of the republican party.
NewsMax – […] “Since leaving office in January, Pence, who was Indiana’s governor and a member of Congress before being tapped as Trump’s running mate, has kept a lower profile. He’s pieced together a portfolio aimed at maintaining influence, paying the bills, and laying the groundwork for an expected presidential run.
He’s forged a partnerships with the conservative Heritage Foundation and has even been discussed as a potential president of the organization, according to two people familiar with the discussions. He’s joined the Young America’s Foundation and a top speakers’ bureau, penned an op-ed for the Daily Signal about the 2020 election, and recently toured a Christian relief organization in North Carolina. He will make his first public speech since leaving office next month at the Palmetto Family Council’s annual fundraiser in South Carolina, another crucial primary state.
Pence also has discussed writing a book, according to aides, has been in continued conversation with his evangelical allies, and plans to spend much of the next two years helping Republican candidates as they try to reclaim House and Senate majorities in 2022. (read more)
running pence is a scheme designed by the radical left corruptors (and GOPe).
running pence against any TRUMP MAGA candidates is their scheme to “split the vote” for conservatives.
a means to present a devils bargain.
they will fail!
they have vastly underestimated the power of the MAGA voting base.
they will have to steal that one too.
and they have every intention and power to do so.
between NOW and THEN, MAXIMUM effort must be applied to eliminate mail in, ballot stuffing and unconstitutional state rules.
if WE THE PEOPLE cannot get that done now, and make that our single biggest effort, quite frankly it doesn’t really matter who runs for our vote.
The corruptors have made it very clear: they will install whomever they want. If you can do it and get it with Biden, anything is possible.
So make sure you make your voices heard and send your messages to President Trump

He must know how we feel about this, and what specific areas we can help him develop a plan to take on each and every state right now.
we need to get organized and work together like we have never worked together in our entire lives.
that’s what it takes.
no backing down.
no waiting for white horses.
we are the answer to the problem. be that answer!
God Bless America
How does any of it matter when they cheat? The voting is rigged.
Do nothing. It will get worse. Do something. It might get better.
It WILL get better … or you’re not trying hard enough!
Have you been watching the strong efforts in AZ, PA, WI, GA & MI??
Herculean, PRO BONO, work is being done by Kline, AZ patriots, Jovan, Sidney, all kinds of people.
I sent the “stimulus money” to them, parceled it out. I can think of no better stimulating them, that I can give in any other place!
Be encouraged, and get involved. Help True The Vote, she has earned it. It’s up to us… And God.
Pence (& Haley for that matter) will only split the anti-Trump vote.
I’d be more worried if Trump was in the race and DeSantis joined the race.
As far as I can tell the political landscape is set up perfectly for a Trump-Noem ticket in 2024 and then DeSantis in 2028.
Yes yes, I see the scepticism about Governor Noem – but given her performance over the last year I believe she deserves some leeway to pursue this coalition of states to oppose trans girls in sports.
I would extend that leeway and benefit of the doubt to only 2 Republican Governors – to Noem & DeSantis.
She effectively has about 18 months to prove her announced strategy is the correct one in my books.
actually, I WANT DESANTIS TO RUN.
But NOT for the reasons most people think about.
You RUN desantis so that WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP IS SENT BACK TO HIS RIGHTLY POSITION OF LEADERSHIP,
TRUMP WILL SELECT DESANTIS AS HIS VICE!
In that capacity, desantis can operate, deliver, and show his effectiveness for a future run. And that’s what we all need to be thinking about. What happens AFTER TRUMP?
and if on the worst case scenario President Trump is rail roaded again, this presents a SITUATION for the GOP/RNC…they will have to choose Desantis.
That’s how I look at it.
Desantis is the best candidate I would pick right now to be President Trumps’ Vice!
Just remember, the most prevalent application of Mr. Clean is down the toilet. If he seems too goody-goody to be true, he probably is!
I agree fully.
I also have had to reform my own selector bias about being spotless. You ask around here, I was somewhat of a holdout for President Trump (I kind of know his past…more than most voters, having lived near and up close and personal for a number of years).
But President Trump won me over. He did this because his actions were remarkable and advanced a pro-america, america first, economy strong, kick ass and take names later attitude.
I see the same kind of pedigree with desantis.
You bet, I’ll be looking at him very hard. But I also learned my lesson for placing way too many of my own requirements that really don’t add up to much in that position of power.
Need a fighter and a winner. Desantis is definitely one I can see doing it better than anyone else in the field so far.
ON my Mothers grave, We are about to Explode into a Huge Revolution.
He will be playing McCain, running solely to lose to the first woman president.
As did McCain, with the highest of false honor.
OK This is a typical troll to see what kind of reaction it gets. Mike will be on Mitch McConnell’s bob sled team this fall. He knows the position.
Never, ever going to happen.

Judas comes to mind. I have never once said anything positive about Mike Pence — despite those who defended him.
He was/is far too “slippery” for my tastes. A polished robot comes to mind, along with the sense of a con-artist.
Not once did Mike Pence give me the ‘warm & fuzzies’.
I wouldn’t trust him with my cat.
Agreed! He always struck me as being very “wooden”; not natural and spontaneous. In retrospect, I think his behavior seemed very controlled and contrived.
Wasn’t Mark Meadows wife part of the Heritage Foundation? Somehow remember some type of connection there. Not a fan of Meadows and certainly will never trust anything from Pence. He’s as dead in the water as good ‘ol Jeb.
Mike Pence has lived almost his whole life in homes paid by the taxpayers. He is a perpetual leech.
None of these remoras or their famines ever, actually WORK for a living. They live off of us. Look at their lives… Rosenstein, Sztroks Ohrs wife, etc. Just leeches.
Any candidate for political office such as Mike Pence who list either the Federalist Society or the Heritage Foundation or both on their resumes should be blacklisted by conservatives.
The Federalist Society can hardly be called “federalist” after giving us Supreme Court Justices like Amy Barrett and John Roberts.
For example, the Federalist Society used to brag anout John Roberts all the time until his ruling on Obamacare.
Then we have the Heritage Foundation which has always shared a revolving door with United States Chamber of Commerce, with many prominent members holding positions in both of these organizations full of RINOs.
“In 2014, the Heritage Foundation began building a database of approximately 3,000 conservatives who they trusted to serve in a hypothetical Republican administration for the upcoming 2016 election.
According to individuals involved in crafting the database, several hundred people from the Heritage database ultimately received jobs in government agencies, including Scott Pruitt, Betsy DeVos, Mick Mulvaney, Rick Perry, Jeff Sessions and others who became members of Trump’s cabinet.”

You mean the same Heritage Foundation that gave President Trump the list of potential SCOTUS picks? How’s that turned out?
Hard Pass!
no
I will never vote for Traitor Pence in either a primary or general election. Republican Party think about that.
Onekama! Only one I know of is on M-22. Meet at the Blue Slipper?
Sorry – Blue Slipper Bistro Restaurant closed – such a loss. Owner now executive chef at Manistee National Golf Club. Replacement Blue Slipper Tap Room also closed.
His campaign slogan has been revealed…
“;l;;gmlxzssaw 2024”
I would not vote for him. Should the worst come to happen and this Romney Want To BE wins the nomination I will sit out the election. It’s not like our votes really count at this point – unless there is massive election reform to remove the fraud – but I am done with holding my nose to vote for a Republican, never again will I be willing to do that.
Romney cured me for good from voting the lesser of two evils.
It appears that the usual suspects are trying to line up for 2024 by inserting themselves into the Trump alliance. They are mostly Decepticons, who attempt to appear as Trump allies except for the fact that they always desert him when he needs a courageous vote. This is only 1/2 of a step better than being RINOs, who try to raise funds on the coattails of Donald Trump, even though they despise him and will even vote with Demcommies if it can prevent an unwanted Trump policy from getting support.
We have to trust Trump’s ability to find challengers for Decepticons as well as RINOs. Pence is decidedly a Decepticon. I hope Trump knows who he wants to support for President in 2024 and work hard to defeat Pence. We have to win and we have to win bigly and we cannot mess around with iffy candidates.
Pence was a double dealing deserter from the start.
After Trump floated his pathetic little boat and given him so packaging to be the VP candidate, he deserted at the first blush, hiding out and distancing himself in the crucial hours of Pgate for 1-2 days.
I voted for Trump despite Pence. Pence as the presidential candidate is delusionally insane.
Apparently massively pumped up by his DS handlers and/or just a paid splitter.
Never forget, General Flynn allegedly lied to VP Pence which was a big part of stampeding the new Trump Administration into firing him.
Glad to see you agree.
Pence can’t win, I thought Biden couldn’t win! Got Dominion?
Love that! I think we’ll be seeing more of “Got Dominion”? Nice one.
That deserves a wicked meme.
What’s he stupid? He’s putting a target on his back.
(Actually I concur with many of the commentators, the move is to split the vote to insure no MAGA candidate wins…..regardless if it PDJT or someone he supports.)
He did that when he certified the election (figuratively of course).
Also to prompt MAGA to sit it out.
Not to mention simply to piss us off.
As SD has pointed out, for many of these parasites, it’s actually better for them in the Minority… A little less money, but much less accountability.
Despicable beyond measure.
I think we found a new “big ugly.”
Haha…. Dude! If you wanted to be President, you would have been a lock if Trump had been re-elected and you sailed in his wake in 2024.
No doubt 30 Pence expected he’d be given the job in Trump’s first term, after assisting Trump’s enemies efforts to remove Trump from office.
God may have set this up so that if Pence was honorable and forthright, Pence would get the job, but …. instead he was weighed and measured and the handwriting is on the wall…
Excellent observation!
Pence got his gold coin which he put in his pocket and an approving elbow bump from prancing Pelosi for all to see. He figurately hanged himself with his actions on Jan.6. Run for POTUS in 2024? Surely you jest!
A delusional, corrupt, vicious Ken doll.
Weak, too.
Mike, who??
That photo is just precious, isn’t it??
“No honor amongst thieves!”
Either one of them would put the shiv into the other, when it all came down to just one.
Should I ever be solicited for funds for a Pence campaign I would be sorely tempted to mail thirty coins of the lowest denomination I can find, and never a sou more.
LOL…Yeah no….
NO MORE COWARDS
Bub bye GOP
I don’t even think Pence’s wife would vote for Pence.
Must be that groundswell of popular support causing him to do this. What else it could it be? Seriously. Consider what logical reasons would induce him to do this. Unlike Haley, he doesn’t have a reputation for uncontrolled political ambition.
This is like Jeff Sessions running for his old senate seat. Someone is stepping in with the money to support this. Does that someone really think Pence has popular backing? Or is he just a convenient tool.
He is in it for….Speaking fees and Book deals and Campaign cash and
Ego strokes by soulless neutered minions just as compromised as he is.
He will be just fine..in his delusion.
!Jeb
Heaven help any GOP candidate in any state running for any office if Mike Pence is the one endorsing them. That is what is known as the “ kiss of death!”
I cant see it. He might have won in Indiana but he was tapped by PDT because he was needed for the Evangelical Vote AND he was scandal free and seen as a “steady advisor” type with Govt exp so he could HELP PDT. And he did in many ways including standing by him several times when things got “dicey”. I liked him for all those things. THEN came Jan 6.
He wont get ANY MAGA Votes and good luck to him getting many RINO/gopE Votes
Maybe RINOs are encouraging a Pence ru cuz they want Biden/Harris or whatever Democrat in 2024?
A trade-off kind of thang.
I’ll just say this about Pence in 2024… “No!”
2024 Trump!
Always MAGA!
PENCE ~ An Establishment Globalist . . .

He who shall forever be remembered as failing to stand up for constitutional principles.
Retired Magistrate here: President Trump may be a little rough around the edges, but he is more of a Christian that Pence will ever be! In my opinion, Pence is a CINO; i.e., Christian In Name Only.
You know a Christian not only by his words, but also by his actions. President Trump talked more about GOD/JESUS and Christian values than any President in my lifetime.
Finally, I also think that Pence is a hypocrite because he is running on the Trump agenda, one that when he had the chance to really support it (sending the contested state’s votes back to the states for resolution) Pence threw it under the bus and now we are stuck with Biden/Obama.
MIKE MIKE MIKE …………..What day is it……………. HUMP DAY …………… ( get it F off) please have a rally this Saturday or next and see who shows up MIKE MIKE MIKE …………………NO ONE !!!
Seriously? Let’s see who backs him in daylight, as if we don’t already know. RINOs, Dems, traitors of all stripes, and horribly ill-informed people.
I suggest we start a go fund me for the new Trump campaign 747.
Seize the Federal Reserve, End Incorporation, Declare war on the IMF, Hoist the White Pine Flag of America against tyranny again!
It’s interesting that Pence is attempting to “lay the groundwork for 2024” considering that he has already “dug his own grave”. I think that ground work is finished.
Fox appears to be complicit (Paul Ryan) in the attempted rehab of Pence by having him narrate the program on the Life of Rush Limbaugh. They must really think we are stupid.
Not happening Mikey. Give it up traitor.
Benedict Mikey is expecting his payback from the Swamp for his role in the election fraud.
You just can not help the foolish and stupid people who wander the earth in a lost fog. Pence proved beyond a doubt the he is a loyal part of the uniparty, that makes him part of the problem not a part of the solution.
30 Pence won’t change his stripes.
Neither will Mrs. 30 Pence who snubbed our great FLOTUS Melania every time they were attending the same event.
Another decepticon,establishment, globalist, RINO candidate who like Bush may be the better of two evils. Especially in this day of ballot harvesting. The two party uni party system that has been forced upon the American people is an utter disgrace to representation of by and for the people.
No way.
I’m in Utah, and Pence just edged out Romney on my most Despised list.
Uni-party trying to make it “his turn”…
They’ll have to do it without ME!
Pence? Mike Pence? The traitorous little gutter snipe Mike Pence? Hoping for a political future? Snicker….. Chuckle…. GUFFAW, (said without humor but rather with derision)!
So the GOP is considering reverting to those thrilling days of yesteryear (1988 – 2012). Like others who have already commented, I gave up on voting “lesser of two evils” after Mittens. I said “no” to Pence following Trump early on. He was OK as VP, but POTUS? No way. The same goes for Nikki Haley except she wouldn’t even be an acceptable VP.
We need a fighter like Trump, but not Trump in 2024. Hell, yes, I’d pull the lever for him if he ran, but I think there is too much resistance for him to win even the nomination, let alone the general election. If he does run, I think the GOP primaries will be rigged to ensure he doesn’t get the nomination. We know the general election will be rigged (again) no matter what. Even more so, if Trump is involved.
I believe Trump would be more effective as a consultant to get bona fide MAGA candidates, not only for POTUS, but down ballot as well. So far, the only person who has shown me anything close to being a successor to Trump is DeSantis. Somebody else even better may emerge, but I doubt it and if not, he is the only one I would bother to vote for. Otherwise, I would limit my vote for my representative and the senator who will replace the odious Richard Burr.
Does Pence really think we will forget by then? Perhaps he knows he doesn’t have a chance but wants to get his hands on done of that easy money called “campaign funds”!
If he is the one on the ticket I will be sitting this one out….even if it is the Ho that would be back in the White House.
Pence ended his career Jan 6th.
Unless he is running as a Demo-Globalist
Pence? Fat f’ing chance!
3 Plus years is a long time in politics.
