How Loyal Was Mike Pence?

Pence was perfectly suited to be vice president . . .
for Mitt Romney.

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” is a maxim of realpolitik and other matters where the stakes are high. To be effective in practice, an enemy invited into one’s organization needs to be kept truly close—that is, monitored carefully and always held accountable.

President Donald Trump appointed many NeverTrumpers and other enemies of his agenda—more significantly, enemies of his voters—to influential posts within his administration. In most cases, these appointees were not “kept close”—at least not close enough to prevent them from undermining his policies, his relationship with his political base, and his viability for reelection.

A true standout amid the vipers’ nest of Trump’s enemies who benefited from appointment to his administration is Nikki Haley. As disloyalty goes, she belongs in a class all of her own, enjoying urgings from Bill Kristol to run against Trump in 2020 even as she held office as a Trump appointee.

On the day when arguments concluded in the Democrats’ post-presidency impeachment trial of Trump, Haley was the subject of a fawning feature in the daily bible of the swamp, Politico.

Playing to her audience, Haley said “he’s not going to run for federal office again. I don’t think he’s going to be in the picture.”

Haley pronounced herself “disgusted” by Trump’s treatment of Vice President Pence. “Mike has been nothing but loyal to that man.”

Given a witness as untrustworthy as Haley, the question arises: Just how loyal was Mike Pence, anyway?

Interesting. I was unaware of much of what this writer refers to - like what happened in Venezuela two years ago.

To ask that question is to answer it.

It was Pences job to accept or reject the election fraud that was openly perpetrated, Pence legitimized the fraud election.  Pence was Brutus, Judas.

Pence’s demonstrations of treacly piety

Haley was the subject of a fawning feature in the daily bible of the swamp, Politico.

Not sure why the article brought up two religious references other than to take a stab at said subject.

How conservative was Pence, well he did accept a position under Trump? Answers me, though some here hold Trump in higher esteem than I do.

Pence in my opinion was loyal, just not a conservative in the manner I like to define it.

[Sled Dog]

Yes, of course. 

Naturally a "nothing but loyal" side-kick would be happy to refuse to challenge the results of a stolen election and actually stab his boss in the back, like Pence did.

Pence's career as an elected official is over.

But he'll be begging President Romney for an important position, I'm sure.
