I didn’t know Pence could read…
But seriously, the only reason he’s slightly turning on trump is because he’s also running. If he wasn’t running, I assume he’d be cheerleading for him (which is so weird since trump’s people wanted to kill him on Jan. 6).
The town halls have been hilarious to watch. Chris Christie just laying down suppressing fire on Trump. Meanwhile Pence, a man who Trump nearly had publicly executed, gives the most mild admonishments. I remember when Pence was afraid to get into a USSS car because he didn't know the driver and thought they might be taking him to be quietly assassinated . How do you even stay in the same party after that?
Sheer stupidity is the only thing I can think of. Rather than thinking of parties, I'd just get out of politics altogether, but maybe folks like Pence are just in too deep to be able to escape.
