Recalling how former Vice Presidents Al Gore and Dan Quayle fulfilled their roles in certifying elections they lost was much more influential in former Vice President Mike Pence’s ceremonial ending of the 2020 campaign than his boss, former President Donald Trump. In one of several interviews to promote his new book, Pence said he looked to the examples of Quayle and Gore in deciding to certify the election of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Jan. 6, 2021.

Bye bye, Mike. You're now a Goron. And politically speaking, you're a goner. Why even try? What are you trying to prove?

If President Trump had one weakness, it was picking the worst possible people. This is another example.
He would have done better to throw darts at a phone book (of anywhere but DC) and pick who the dart hit.

What a misguided fool. He also does not believe in God and looks to Lucifer as his spiritual role model.

I really remember nothing about Quayle other than the Potato Caper. Maybe he’s a good man. But an absolutely obscure reference to a figure that’s barely a footnote from 40 years ago. How gooooofy.
Al Gore. Pence must be thinking of the episode where gore chased the masseuse around his hotel room. Or maybe the tobacco farming or the dirty mining. Or making a fortune on scamming the public into doling out massive amounts of money for a technology that cannot work on a large scale until we discover new physical laws to live by.
My God i used to think he was stupid. He’s getting down to biden territory. The Bi-Q. He’s gone Bi-Q. I guess running for president is guaranteed to be profitable.

Dan Quayle was a Senator from Pence's state of Indiana. A very smart guy that ate Teddy Kennedy's lunch over nuclear arms debate. He was a Reagan man through and through, 30 years ago. He was brutally used by the H W administration, I think because of it. Maybe Dan and Al will come out and bring their reputations with them and support Mr. Pence. That'll be fun.

I respected Mike Pence when he was Governor of Indiana. He’s turned out to be a huge disappointment. Al Gore? Dan Quayle? Good grief. Could he be anymore tone deaf?

If it wasn't for Trump, he'd be nobody and maybe working as a Used Car salesman. If I offended any used car salesman, ....I'm sorry!

His act is finally so over with any America-loving, God-fearing conservative. I think, HE really thinks the ole Bush-Rove playbook is gonna work for him.
Trump outted this guy and I was very sorry to see his brother was elected to anything!! Dan Quayle. Nice man. Unfortunately, those Bush era nice men allowed great damage to the country by consistently refusing to FIGHT. They all chose the easy go along get along way which prospered them and their families. I prefer patriots because the “nice” risk averse types were not to be found amongst the Founders of this great nation.

#18, when Pence was governor of Indiana, the state legislature passed a law which banned LGBTs from suing people for not making cakes, etc. IIRC, it was called the Freedom of Religion Act. Pence signed it and then, when the alphabet folks went nuts, he caved and “unsigned” it. I was not happy when Trump chose him - he proved himself to be completely untrustworthy way back then and had done it repeatedly ever since. He’s a snake.
Al Gore???? Maybe Mikey is looking for his own second Chakra.

I don't recall anyone forcing Pence to stay as Trump's VP! There is nothing worse than trashing your former boss who made your name recognizable.

zzzzzZzzzz three of the most boring politicians in the world! Did not Al turn his back on Tipper when she was ill? Or had an affair when she was battling breast cancer.. not sure …but was he not accused of sexual misconduct with a massage therapist. I guess that ending was not so happy.
