Mike Pence is a hero for doing his constitutional duty on January 6th 2021. But heroism doesn’t always transfer into votes, especially when the most popular politician in the Republican Party has a brain numb following that view him as a blameless omniscient deity.
So, would Mike Pence stand a chance in 2024? Only if Trump falters and even then the road would be difficult.
How could Trump falter? Legal issues could hurt him, as he’s facing legal problems in several states. Then, he could overplay his hand in the midterms, as he did in the Georgia runoffs. Or a majority of Republican voters could find him merely yesterday’s news.
But with Trump potentially sidelined his hordes would still have an effective veto power over the GOP nomination and there’s no way Pence passes muster. Then with Trump out others get in the fray, like Ron DeSantis, who would beat Pence in the primaries and would probably be acceptable to Trump’s throngs. So no matter how you slice it, Mike Pence has a very uphill battle to the Oval Office.
FNC: “Former Vice President Mike Pence will deliver remarks at a private Christian university’s commencement ceremony when he returns in late April to South Carolina, the state that holds the third contest in the Republican Party’s presidential nominating calendar.
A source familiar with Pence’s travels tells Fox News that the former vice president will visit the Palmetto State’s capital city to speak during the April 30 commencement at Columbia International University, which describes itself as a conservative, biblically focused school.
As previously reported, Pence will return to South Carolina days later, in early May, to address a dinner on behalf of the Carolina Pregnancy Center, a Christian facility that provides counseling, supplies and adoption services to women who decide to go through with unplanned pregnancies.
The center, located in Spartanburg in the state’s conservative northwest corner, has become a must-stop for some GOP presidential hopefuls in recent election cycles, as they’ve flocked to South Carolina to showcase their pro-life credentials in front of the state’s social conservative Republican primary voters.”

Palmetto Family, a South Carolina conservative group, President Dave Wilson told press last year that Pence’s “support of Christian conservative values was a major reason for us reaching out to him. Mike Pence represents a lot of what Christian conservative voters recognize as a impactful part of the Trump-Pence administration.”
And Pence has recently taken shots at Trump. “There are those in our party who believe that as the presiding officer over the joint session of Congress, I possessed unilateral authority to reject electoral college votes,” Pence said last Friday to a Federalist Society conference in Florida. He continued.
“I heard this week, President Trump said I had the right to ‘overturn the election’. President Trump is wrong … I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence said to much applause from the assemblage of conservative lawyers. The Federalist Society is filled with sharp people. The Republican primary base is filled many without the same wisdom. Do the math.

Pence is not a hero. Pence is a traitor. And a feckless one, at that! That is the way history will remember this one-term fly-on-the-head poser. He showed all of America his lack of spine. If he turned and ran on a decision re electorals, imagine how far he’d run should we have to address China! If Pence were ever nominated, we’d have full proof that the Republican National Committee is working for the Democrats.
Pence less trustworthy than Biden, we know who Biden is but no one knows who Pence is
Traitor I would not vote for him for dog catcher.
Pence doesn’t have a chance. The coward turned his back on Trump. Too bad Trump trusted him to be his Vice President. Hopefully Trump will go after the swamp when he is re-elected. Everyone knows (who has a brain) that Trump won in 2020. If you can’t see it, you are an idiot. Trumps’s Justice department must go after all the individuals responsible for the 2020 election fraud. People must go to prison for treason.
To David: Hillary says we’re deplorable. You say we are brain-numb hordes. What’s the difference? You otherwise write good articles. But you need to stop tooting your anti-Trump horn or get the hill out. Keep that sh*t to yourself.
Judas Pence is worthless!

Who writes this crap
He isn’t a hero; he is a traitor. His job on January 6 was to make sure all legal electoral votes were counted. All he had to do was send the electors back to the legislatures of the respective states and they would have had to overturn the votes as the evidence we’re seeing now and President Trump would still be president not this clown. He isn’t even a good representative of Christians. I’m a Catholic and his decisions make me sick. If he thinks he would ever be elected president after what he did it must mean he lives in the same fantasy land as do all Rino fiends.
Pence would lose against a truck driver who never rN before.
Pence will not be the nominee.
Your premise in the 1st sentence of your article that “Mike Pence is a hero for doing his constitutional duty on January 6th 2021” told me all I needed to know…why LifeZette is still offered as a conservative website is beyond me. It needs to go the same way as the National Review and all the other Never-Trumpers. Into the dust bin of history. If the Republican Party were ever to offer Mike Pence as the Republican candidate for President, they would really deserve what would happen to them…can you say “Whig Party”? It may still go that way once everything comes out about the 2020 election and how many Republican politicians were complicit in the corruption in the states, especially the ones with Republican governors. I’ll be sure to have my popcorn ready.
