His own party hates him because he didn't go along with their coup attempt.

Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

That’s why I’m surprised he’s even trying. His campaign has to know how unpopular he is right? Why even continue spending money on a failed campaign?
Being a presidential candidate is a way for him to finance mother and his lifestyle.
Mike Pence is what happens when you indoctrinate an overcooked piece of cauliflower with religious fascism.
THIS. His one act of finally checking Trump's destructive behaviour doesn't make him a saint; and it surely doesn't balance out all the crazy cult stuff.
Pence has zero charisma. I have no idea why he's embarrassing himself with this.
I’m inclined to give him $1 just to help him get on the debate stage. I want to see him and Trump go at it about J6.
I don't know who Pence is trying to appeal to. Voters who were on board with Trump only up until the insurrection? That's a very, very, very small subset.
Even then, his campaign makes no sense, because he won't even truly attack Trump for trying to get him killed. Instead he just says he believes Trump interpreted the Constitution incorrectly.
Pence looks very very weak. No one wants that in a leader.
Make the fly your running mate. That’ll grab a headline for a day or two.
Probably would have won in 2024 if trump simply accepted defeat and went away like every other losing candidate. He could have run as"trump's ideas but more stable". As it stands the base he needs think he's the guy who prevented trump from stealing the election.
One side thinks he's a traitor to Trumpism for not helping to steal the election, and the other sees him as a wuss for covering for Trump. So both sides see him as a wimp and not fully reliable.
Mile Pence is that hat you got from an old acquaintance but it’s not a good hat so it gets moldy in a box in the basement.
But Mother likes him! I don't see why others don't!
Mike Pence has all the charm and charisma of a Mike Pence. Good luck bud.
