Mike Pence signals 2024 run as heir to Donald Trump
by Rob Crilly
| April 08, 2021 06:00 AM
Aides shrug off questions about 2024, but with a list of advisory board members that reads like backers, former Vice President Mike Pence's new political group looks like a bid to position himself as Trumpism’s heir apparent and for a White House run.
Advancing American Freedom’s advisory board includes Trump administration alumni such as Kellyanne Conway, former Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, and Trade Representative Bob Lighthizer, along with luminaries of the conservative movement such as Jim DeMint and David McIntosh.
“It’s going to promote the policies of the last four years and defend them from attack from the radical left and distortions from the media,†an aide said.
But as possible candidates begin jockeying for the Republican nomination for 2024, it also marks Pence’s return to the political limelight after keeping a low profile since a pro-Trump mob marched through the U.S. Capitol chanting “Hang Mike Pence.â€

"Mike Pence signals 2024 run as heir to Donald Trump"
Kinda like how Jeb! saw himself as the heir to Dubya...?
-
Again, I have always and often wondered why Trump selected Pence to be his VP in the first place. I would love to know; perhaps more pieces of the puzzle would fall into place and other questions that I still have would be answered.

Reince Priebus felt Trump needed a swamp creature (my words) to balance the ticket or Trump wouldn't get any support, at all, from the RNC/GOP.

And how wrong he is if he thinks this will be forgotten or repaired.
Every time Pence mentions Trump it takes everyone back to Jan 6.

No, I saw some a few accounts on Twitter (some of the same ones you follow) post images of tweets like this, so I went looking for a bogus Trump tweet generator and found it. Should make for some fun posts.
-
Pence may have the credentials to make a run,but does he have enough "fire" to get elected?
AND......,wth is he thinking to announce he is running now when it looks like Trump will be running again in 2024?
Do his handlers really think "Mr Green Jeans" that he would accomplish anything other than suck enough votes away from Trump to guarantee that neither would win?
-

@skeeter
Do any of us?
Then again,the yahoos backing and promoting him have no excuse for not knowing better.
This leads me to think it is Anti-Trump RINO's doing most of the backing. "Conservatives" who would rather see Biden re-elected than see Trump back in the WH.

Not to mention FDR.
America will not be safe until the last Bush is either dead or out of politics.

@libertybele
I SUSPECT it had to do with the contrasting personalities. Trump's advisors understood he is the type that throws kerosene on fires,and Pence is the type that calls the fire department.
They were looking for a "balanced personality ticket" to keep from scaring the more RINO voters.
-

To the best of my recollection:
Trump, despite his scorched-earth primary campaign, still had zero credibility among the right. Before NeverTrump got hijacked by the Bill Kristols and such, pretty much anyone who actually stood for conservatism wanted Cruz to win.
So they ran out the oldest trick in the book: find a guy to put on the ticket that addressed Trump's weaknesses. Pence was a sitting governor and former Congressman, well-respected in the conservative movement at the time, and a solid Christian family man--everything that Trump wasn't. I pretty clearly remember people at my church saying they'd vote for the Trump/Pence ticket solely because they thought Trump would be so bad that he'd get thrown out of office and they'd get Pence, and that either was preferable to Clinton. So it worked.
-
I thought Pence was a fine pick back in 2016. He did bring balance, had Washington experience, etc.
If Trump runs in 2024, Pence will NOT be the running mate. And if Trump does not run in 2024, there is a long list of folks that will be picked over Pence. And who knows, maybe Jeb will make another stab at it. His desire has not been vacated, I am sure.

@jafo2010
You say that just like it would be something good,and we don't even know who his puppet master is since his mama died,who was one of the most evil bitches to ever steal a breath of air.
IMHO,there should be a federal law passed making it illegal for anyone named Bush,or anyone related to anyone named Bush to hold public office
-
9999hair out0000 Not a chance in h*ll! I'll never vote for this traitor. I don't think any Trump supporter will support Pence after he certified a fraudulent election. He's Swamp. 9999hair out0000

I suspect I would like Mike Pence if I knew him personally. But I've never been excited about him as a candidate. I just don't see him generating the excitement needed to get people out to the polls.
@Right_in_Virginia - putting aside the events of this last election - do you think he would have made a good candidate?
-
If true the man does not understand how he is widely perceived.
Perfect summation!
I think of him as a nice guy who doesn't know how to fight for anything and when the chips were down didn't make a stand.
-
The way I understood it is that Pence locked up the Evangelical Vote, something Trump Shirley lacked.

This is it exactly. ^^^

Mike Pence will not energize the base.
-

Pence may have brought in the establishment vote and perhaps helped seat Trump. But Pence turned his back on 75+ million people. If this azzhat thinks he has a chance he's dreaming (only if the liberals want him in will he win).
He has the personality of a grapefruit and is a traitor and a liar.

Valid points, I agree @libertybele

I don't think he could generate enough excitement to get people to leave a burning house.

@corbe
You seem to be implying that is a good thing.
-
@corbe

No way @sneakypete This guy sold the Indiana Evangelicals down the river as Governor by not signing the RFB (Religious Freedom Bill) and yet most swooned all over him just 6 months later.
-
Pence MAY have secured the evangelicals in prior elections.
He threw dirt on them just as he did for every American that voted in the 2020 election.
He MIGHT get the NT PC RINO vote next time around, but he'll have to fight off Jeb! and Kaysick for that rotten 5% of the electorate.
-
With the comments of a couple of you, I guess I am misunderstood.
Mike Pence's political career is over. Finished. He may think otherwise, and he might just run, but he has the excitement of a week old turd on the lawn. Done! Done! Done! A 1 percenter!!!
And in regard to the Bushes, they are still out there. And Dubya showed his mug recently like anyone wanted to see or hear him. Perhaps he was testing the water to see how he was received. With his father dead, he is now the standard bearer for the Bush family.
After Nixon lost to JFK, he was still out there. All I am saying is that the Bushes are still out there. Should Trump decide not to run, the race will be wide open, and Jeb might just think to give it another try. Frankly, like sneakypete, I hope I never hear the name again. I abhor the Bushes as much as the Clintons, both globalists, both traitors in my eyes.

Pence is about as exciting as watching paint dry
As for the Bushies, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see another Bushie run; perhaps along with Mr. Excitement (Pence) himself.
What we will very likely see is another establishment candidate running against a fairly conservative candidate like DeSantis.
Gee ... any bets on the ballot box??
-
@BassWrangler
I don't think he could generate enough excitement to get people to leave a burning house.
Not voting any more, for anyone. With all the major voting fraud ....why bother ? ALL ARE COMMUNISTS NOW AND DEMON-RATS. Pence received his 30 pieces of silver. :bingo:

@jafo2010
His father was never nothing more than a figurehead. The REAL brains of that family,and the one with the balls to to push what was best for the Bush Crime Family ahead of anything else,was Babs.
Just like Laura Bush is Boy Jorge's "keeper",Babs was his daddy's babysitter and master.
She was an evil old bitch,but there can be no question that she was smart and dedicated to gaining and holding power for the benefit of the family.

@libertybele
They already tried that with George P. Bush (The Brown Bush),and even gave him THE ultimate advantage of being appointed Texas Land Commissioner.
Hell,they even bought him a blonde trophy wife to keep his brown skin from scaring the voters.
Nothing has worked because he is a spoiled brat who was even arrested while in college for stalking his blonde girlfriend. IIRC,he was also arrested for assaulting her as well as domestic violence .
NOT the image you want for your emerging state and future national politician.
They got him a job with a couple of different prestigious Texas law firms,and he was a zero at both of them. Even as a jr associate with his own office and a staff to do all the actual work.
IIRC,he got the land commissioner job after being dumped by the second law firm.
BTW,his younger brother has an arrest record for having sex with a minor in a public parking lot (in his defense,it was a BS charge. The "minor" was only a few months younger than he and was his girlfriend). It only became news because of his family name.
His sister is a crack whore who has been arrested several times for stuff like stealing and forging prescriptions.
Oh,yeah,and his mama was arrested while trying to smuggle designer watches and clothing through Customs through Customs without paying the customs fees after returning from a visit in France with the former President of Mexico,who managed to skip Mexico with a few billion dollars from their treasury and gain political asylum in France to avoid arrest and time in a Mexican prison. He was goombas with the Bush Crime Family,and they used to vacation on his huge ranch in Mexico before he had to flee to Paris to avoid arrest.
That family has plenty of stumps,and no trees.

Why bother?
Because by not voting you make it that much easier for them to steal the next election.
That's why.
And you have lower tier candidates to support or evict, and, depending on the state, you get to vote NO on all sorts of idiot propositions.

Ok. I was only thinking about president vote. You are correct. I will vote. See, how reasonable I am? Give me some information to process and I can understand. I will vote. :patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

This is all JEB'S family? I knew about their one son, but not the others. What a mess.

@LegalAmerican
Yup!
The ironic part is that JEB himself SEEMS to be pretty clean.
This is probably due to his family taking attention away from him,though. That sort of thing doesn't happen in a vacuum.

Unless Trump gives him a thumbs up, it is over for Mike.
It could be over even with a thumbs up.
Seems Mike didn't fill all his duties to the President and the country.
