Mike Pence Makes Announcement About Whether He Will Endorse Donald Trump
By Jeff Charles | 4:54 PM on March 15, 2024
Former Vice President Mike Pence announced that he is not endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. The announcement comes shortly after Trump sealed the GOP presidential nomination and is poised to take on President Joe Biden in November.
Pence made the announcement during an appearance on Fox News.
Former Vice President Mike Pence has declined to endorse his onetime running mate, former President Trump, in a bombshell announcement Friday.
"It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year," Pence said.
"I'm incredibly proud of the record of our administration. It was a conservative record that made America more prosperous, more secure and saw conservatives appointed to our courts in a more peaceful world."

DILLIGAF what Pence thinks?
-
When he let sit on his Gov's Desk the 'Religious Freedom' Bill that he had fought so hard in the Indiana Legislature for at Trump's insistence; I learned all I need to know about him.
And to think he WAS a Darling of Newt's Contract with America, along with Paul Ryan.
-
His own former running mate won't endorse him. Now that's saying something!
Pence is a flake. He always seemed like he was on his period and riding a cotton pony.
-
Probably explains why he didn't want to be alone with a Woman in the same room, he was afraid of him becoming on the same cycle.

They say Mike Pence's testicles grew three sizes when he announced he would not endorse Tangnerine Mussolini.

@Jack Russell
You really need a new hobby.
-
It's OK, Stormy and Karen will endorse him to make up for Melania's and Pence's non endorsement.
-
Why would anybody care what Pence thinks? I think we all new he would verify he's a Never.
-
Honestly I don’t like the hatred shoved at Pence. I think he was a good man and a solid one. He was quiet. IOW, knew unlike his boss the mantra of “better to be silent and thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt”.
-

Pence left him hanging, you might say.
-

Actually, considering what Trump has said publicly about Pence, the "punk" move would be to go full beta and support him anyway. Better for Pence to stand up on hind legs and say "no". He owes Trump less than nothing anyway.

Agree. Pence is a decent man. Not a great leader or anything, but fundamentally a decent guy who did the right thing and followed the Constitution despite horrific pressure from Trump and his minions.

And following the constitution is kryptonite to MAGA
Yet how do you think they’d react if Harris does what they wanted Pence to do should Trump win?
-
Pence is a 2000's leader.

I am sure that is mutual.

You rabid anti-Rude Orange Man losers are hysterical. You will worship a pig's butt if the pig comes out against Trump.
It won't surprise me to see you coming out and embracing Biden when the campaign really gets going. One of you will admire the way he is standing up to the rude,rich,orange bully,and the rest of you will be nodding and saying "un-huh,un-hun,un-hun" to yourselves as you are typing agreement replies

An online meltdown happy77
You really become unhinged when you see any thing negative regarding Donald Trump.
Nobody here supports Biden regardless of whether they are going to vote Trump or not. And you know that’s true despite your lashing out and meltdown

@LMAO
No,I do NOT know that is true.
If it looks like a turd and smells like a turd,it is a freaking turd!
There ARE going to be two choices of who to vote for,Biden or Trump. There is a MASSIVE difference in the way each of them considers to be the way to govern the US,and NOT voting does NOT excuse you if the Dims manage to steal and cast enough phoney votes from illegal aliens to steal the election.

@sneakypete
Voting is not binary, it's not either the Dem or the GOP. There are other choices people choose, like voting third party, writing somebody in, or leaving the section for President blank. Just because somebody won't vote for Trump does not mean they support Shortbus Joe.
I go through this every Presidential Election, and 2024 isn't different AFAIC.

There is a material difference with how they handle judicial nominees and immigration. If that's all you care about, and Trump's lunacy does not concern you, then the choice is obvious. But you had better accept that most people view the world differently, or you will continue to be frustrated.

Those two issues, immigration and judges, are probably two issues were Biden and Trump are opposite along with domestic energy production
But the claim that there’s a massive difference between how Trump and Biden view government and its role is simply not backed up by the record. Both believe in spending money we don’t have. Both believe in growing the size of the government. Both believe in printing money to fund deficits. Both support bailouts. Both support protectionist tariffs.
Trump’s lunacy, and his behaviors, is just the cherry on top of an already turd Sundae. I could put up with all of that if the trade-off was reducing federal spending and the size and scope of the federal government.

When that money is financing every liberal wet dream, and under-girds the very swamp you say he'll drain, that money becomes a pretty good indicator.
I care about the money. But I care more for liberty. The money is just related to the power. Take away the money, take away the power, and liberty is safe, and blooms.
That's why the money matters.

You'd think so, but look at the way things are these days...and the two guys on top of the ballot are a billionaire and America's greatest pay-to-pay grifter politician.
Life? Yeah, there are far more important things than money. But politics, the money owns it now.
-
Friendly reminder that Mike Pence was specifically chosen because he was everything Donald Trump wasn't: a midwesterner, Christian, family man. He was added to the ticket to draw reluctant voters.
So the fact that a guy who was basically the opposite of Donald Trump isn't endorsing him this time around should come as absolutely no surprise. Well, maybe. The GOP apparatus could, I suppose, have forced Pence to endorse Trump—at least in the Ron DeSantis "I'm only doing this because I'm bound by contract" sense.

Yes, in fact, it is... in the end. The direction this country is going in always ends the same, kneeling at a ditch with a gun to your head... No small thing.

By NOT voting for liberalism? You're kidding, right?

@jmyrlefuller
Yeah,but what is wrong with already being a billionaire,compared to the guy in office that is trying to STEAL billions and getting kickbacks.
Trumps massive ego and the fact that he is already wealthy despite the left trying to steal all his money IS his strong feature. He is old and knows he won't be around much longer,and there is NOTHING more important to him that how he gets written about in the history books,and what he wants as much as life itself is to go down in history as "The President that saved America".
And he will only have 4 years to do it,so he won't be wasting any time spending money to try to get re-elected.
What we should all focus on is finding a VERY strong conservative VP to run with him.
-

I’m voting down ticket.
Are you aware that of all the posters on this forum, you become the most hostile when anyone doesn’t share the same love for Trump as you do? When Trump is criticized or attacked, you personally attack that person vs countering any point they made
Every reason I listed for choosing not to vote for Trump is backed by his own words, political positions, and record. I’ve made no false claims regarding him.
And it’s the record vs the fantasy is why and how I made my choice. You choose differently. That’s what America is about. Freedom to chose

@jmyrlefuller
Yup,Pence was the candy offered to the fools,and sadly,typical of the usual useless POS that got the RNC nod.
Reagan saved the RNC and America,and then the RINO's started getting their whiny little weasel bitches elected.
It took Trump to come aboard and save America during the one term he got,and then the asshats were able to cheat and get another globalist thief in office,with the help of the Class Envy idiots.

I agree.... Pence is a decent man. He knows the true Trump and apparently doesn't like what he sees.

You will agree with Putin if he attacks Trump.

Mike Pence Pandering To D.C. Media Is Pathetic And Disqualifying
Any candidate who is playing footsie with the propaganda press, in an incomprehensible ploy to curry favor with them, disqualifies himself from contention.
By: Mollie Hemingway
March 14, 2023On Saturday night, former Vice President Mike Pence addressed the annual Gridiron Club dinner, a white-tie gathering of Beltway media and political insiders. He took the opportunity to praise the D.C. media, attack Tucker Carlson, and condemn Donald Trump.
“History will hold Donald Trump accountable for Jan. 6,” Pence said. “Make no mistake about it: What happened that day was a disgrace, and it mocks decency to portray it in any other way,” Pence said of Tucker Carlson’s journalism, which is at odds with the official narrative.
Pence praised the corporate media as well, saying, “We were able to stay at our post in part because you stayed at your post. The American people know what happened that day because you never stopped reporting.”
As if Pence’s views on the virtues of the propaganda press weren’t disappointing enough, his handlers bragged to the same media that he had lavished them with praise and attacked Trump and Carlson as part of his long-shot campaign to win the Republican nomination for president.
Really. According to a new Politico article, the Pence team intentionally crafted their remarks because they “believed it would help Pence win over his most skeptical audience these days: Washington insiders and journalists.” ...

Of course it could be taken out of context, I don't know....but it sure is disappointing.
Considering Pence is maybe one of the most measured and careful and measured pols in the GOP slate of late. He is not prone to verbal gaffes. He meant what he said, and his Tiger Swamp stripes came shining through.
And prasing the media? That's just makes it worse.

I think the dems have the going to war record*
Madison (D) - War of 1812
Polk (D) - Mexican War
McKinley (R) - Spanish American War
Woodrow Wilson (D)- WWI
FDR (D) - WWII
Truman (D) - Korea
Kennedy/LBJ (D)- Vietnam
Ronaldus Maximus (R)- Cold War
GHWB (R) - Gulf War
Bill 'Blow Job' Clinton (D) - who and where didn't he have the US fighting or bombing?
GWB (R)- Afghanistan, Iraq
BO (D)- Gotta put a link https://www.cnn.com/2014/09/23/politics/countries-obama-bombed/index.html
Trump (R) - No Harm No Fowl?
Biden (Dumbass) - God Help Us WWIII THE WAR TO BURN DOWN THE WORD!
* not counting Revolutionary or Civil War

Neo conservativism had a sort of falling out after bush/Iraq and the loss of the 2008 and 2012 elections. Frankly I don't really blame people for not digging it anymore. The Iraq war handed the country to the Dems on a silver platter IMO. That is just an obvious statement. I think it's perfectly possible to be against neoconservatism and not be "pro-Russia".

There a difference between saying "no more American money", and rooting for Russia to win.
The one thing I do wish more people knew was that Ukraine sent troops to Afghanistan when they weren't even members of NATO. Even if you don't support sending money, the "why should we even care about Ukraine" idea promoted by some (not saying you) kind of sucks.
-

Yup
Just like being against a war doesn’t mean you’re rooting for the enemy. But, if one repeats and amplifies the propaganda of the enemy, or sits on an anti-aircraft, gun of the enemy, then, is fair to question that person’s loyalties
-

Frankly, when it comes to totalitarians and thieves, I really don't care what nationality, skin color, professed religion, sexual preference, pronouns they use, or about their relationships with the family pets or hired help. They should all be done away with.

I see That as a knee-jerk reaction to Poroshenko and Biden's former relationship. Zelensky, imho, is doing what he must for Ukraine to survive. Some solutions require a fight.
