Yahoo news for what it's worth.  Path forward?  Pence blew any chance forward.  He has zero credibility left none.  He can kiss my grits.  Chance of Pence winning the GOP nomination (in the event of an actual election in 2024) is zilch.

The vice president himself is “very upset” that Trump didn’t do more to dissuade the mob, some of whom chanted for Pence’s execution. “Lives were at stake,” a person close to Pence said.

The White House, after days of notable silence on the issue, issued a generic statement Saturday condemning “all calls to violence” against anyone in the Trump administration. The president still has not acknowledged that Pence’s security — or that of any officials in the Capitol on Wednesday — was at risk.

According to multiple people close to Trump and Pence, the two have not spoken since Wednesday morning, after the president repeatedly called for his second-in-command to break his oath and somehow attempt to intervene in the tabulation of the Electoral College votes, which Pence did not have the authority to do.

Mr. Pence's "new path forward" will last until January 20th.

After that, he'll be history.

He's never going to be president.

Odd, the article rehashes all the ways Pence broke with Trump -- of course under the glow from Heaven's light  -- yet includes nothing on Pence's new path forward.

Could this article be just another chance to bash the President?   :pondering:
