Mike Pence fueled the flames of a future run for president by appearing alongside Chuck Grassley at the Iowa State Fair this week and making a visit to the senator's home to 'talk issues.'
The former vice president and Senator Grassley were pictured on Friday sheltering from heavy rain during the state's annual August fair in Des Moines, Iowa.
On Saturday, Pence, 63, continued his swing through the state by joining the Bremer County GOP's second annual 'grill and chill' event to promote Republican candidates for the midterm elections.

That and $7 will get you a coffee at Starbucks. Pence has an equal chance with Liz Cheney - for the Jeb Bush prize - zero votes and humiliation.

A legend in his own mind, and ONLY there.
He'll get very little support from voters, although the Deep State folks might shovel some money at him.

I wonder how much money he can make and influence he can accrue (which can be monetized) just by running?
Since he is a nonentity without Trump, the answer must be “substantial.”

Unless 45 decides not to run and DeSantis likewise, Pence is pissing into a political headwind. He has no chance.

Long before Biden stole the election I predicted that Pence would leave politics after the second Trump term ended. I foresaw a lucrative pension as a DC lobbyist. It appears I didn’t count on him being one of those whose morning gaze into a mirror revealed a future president.
Mike Pence has zero charisma and is firmly rooted in a time before Democrats became full bore fascists. The country needs a visionary and a warrior. Pence is neither. I appreciate his loyal service to Trump and the country while Vice-President. He followed the Constitution on January 6 and in doing so ignited the enmity of the ignorant. Were there a national, elected position of dog catcher, Pence would loose in a landslide.

The wimpy Republicans would have to be nuts to nominate Pence for their presidential choice in 2024. Why, Trump supporters for the most part will not vote for Pence.
While the aggressive leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats would no doubt support Pence throughout the wimpy Republican primaries to keep a much more conservative Republican off that presidential ticket, but after the wimpy Republican primaries if Pence is nominated, then along with their political propaganda arm the liberal media, the combined Democrat factions would kick Pence into the gutter before the general election.
Anyone who can’t recognize that is either stupid or has not been paying attention!

I would not vote for Pence, but I will also not put him down.
Just about every Vice President wants to be President. Then they run for President but don't make it.
Hubert Humphrey, AlGore, are rwo examples. Pence will be the third.
I fault Pence for not pushing back at DJT when DJT put Pence in charge of the Kung Flu problem, and then elbowed Pence aside. Pence should have told DJT to let him take care of it.
DJT's anger at Pence for not holding up the vote on January 6 is a more complicated situation. Allow me to explain.
The law DJT was relying on, on January 6, was the Counting Electoral Votes Act, (or some such name) which was passed in 1887 as a result of the 1876 Presidential election, between Hayes and Tilden. The 1887 law was complicated, and difficult to interpret and apply.
The best course of action for President Trump would have been to file suit in federal court, immediately after the November election, forcing the U.S. Supreme Court to interpret that complicated act. AG Barr would have been the one to argue the case.
