No matter what he does, he’ll never out cuck Ted Cruz
Or Lindsay Graham.
Wasn't Cruz the original cuck?
Ah, so that's what OC stands for
Canada apologizes for sending him south.
We're not going to blame anyone for that. We're thinking about doing the same thing.
I think Pence actually had more spine than say, Ted Cruz. I think Pence will not explicitly support trump, but he will not denounce him either.
Trump tweeted that Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”
Trump is so unprincipled that he managed to get it exactly backwards. January 6 is the one time Pence actually stood up and did the right thing. I loathe the man, but I won't deny him credit where it's due. I can't even begin to imagine the level of chaos if he had gone along with Trump and his followers and refused to certify the 2020 election results.
I’m not giving extra credit for the most bare minimum job.
Might as well give him credit for not shooting anyone on his way to the parking lot.
It's not about extra credit, it's about the basic credit
No. He does not get credits for not breaking the law.
You don’t get a “good job today not setting anything on fire” credit either. Unless you’re part of a “arsonist anonymous”, but I don’t think Pence is part of a “treasonous anonymous” club.
Let’s stop lowering the bar to Olympic limbo just because the Republicans are cute puppy eyes. They’re fucking adults who know what they’re doing. Treat them like such.
You don’t get a “good job today not setting anything on fire” credit either.
You do if you're being compared to a bunch of pyromaniacs. Same way my roommate's dog gets heaps of praise when he barks less than he usually does.
Well.. he’s not part of “treasonous anonymous” because he’s clearly part of “treasonous obvious” aka the GOP.
They don’t need to be anonymous about it, sadly.
Trump usually does get it exactly backwards, to be fair. If he's accusing someone of something, it's because he's doing it. If he's claiming something, it's probably the opposite of the truth. He's remarkably consistent about it.
people in politics can be very disloyal
- says the most disloyal motherfucker ever
It's worth noting that he didn't exclude himself from that statement.
Pence is such a waste of a human, he might actually do it.
He already halted his campaign.
To no one’s surprise. Many of the GOP primary voter base literally wanted him dead and he was polling below 4% for primary voters.
Who's that 4% tho'?
All of the Republican candidates will endorse Trump when he’s the nominee. Pence will be no different.
Historically the Republican candidates have demonstrated enviable party discipline and fallen in line after the nominee has been chosen, but Trump and the rest of the MAGA crowd have shown themselves to be so duplicitous that they won’t even honor agreements made with other Republicans. The more mainstream candidates like Pence may just figure that this time around there’s nothing in it for them, that they won’t get anything from Trump in return for their endorsement, not even goodwill.
I would hope after Pence's life was threatened that he'd continue to do the opposite of what Trump wants him to do.
"Democrats fall in love; Republicans fall in line."
I would bet on that.
"I’m confident I’ll be able to support the Republican nominee, especially if it’s me." - Pence
"Surely this will never bite me in the ass." - Also Pence probably
The guy has no self respect… he will probably bend the knee.
And cup the balls while stroking the shaft.
Trump is such a silly coward. What a weak man.
Of course he would. The Republican Party doesn’t believe in cause and effect. It’s like my dysfunctional family where everyone says and does hurtful things but we’re so dissociated we choose to let the bullshit slide and the drama continue. The only way to win is to not play, but no one has the balls to do it.
You have to get out. I got out and it’s worth it. Get out.
It’s a work in process. The 2 most important things I learned was the importance of understanding my emotions and boundary setting.
Pence also defended them
When Trump says “our Country” or “America” he almost always means “ME”. He does this a lot if you pay attention. He thinks he’s a damn king.
He will if they nominate him, but he won't during the primary.
"Primary"
