Former vice president Mike Pence insisted that the 2024 Republican presidential field will offer “better choices” than his old boss, Donald Trump.
“I think the times call for different leadership,” Pence told NBC’s Ali Vitali in an interview that aired Friday. “I’m confident we’ll have better choices than my old running mate.”
“I’m very confident that Republican primary voters are going to choose the right standard bearer for this moment in our nation’s history,” Pence added. “Someone that can provide not only the policies in leadership but the style of leadership that will help bring our nation back.”
In recent months, Pence has become increasingly vocal

Pence would be a poor leader since he can't be trusted.

I need to see this guy squished like a bug asap. What "style of leadership" is he intimating he'd bring to the presidency??? What an ingrate. Who's whispering in his ear? The wife?

Pence has zero chance, actually, but is too dim to see that.

Kamala Harris, Dan Quale, Al Gore, Spiro Agnew, and Last and Least, Joe Biden now have Mike Pence as a member of the club. None of them had much to to do in getting their bosses elected, or did much whe they were in office. Mike Pence, just like the others, was more of a placeholder than a running mate.

I believe he is baiting Trump so that Trump will make another spontaneous outburst reaction and thus keep Pence in the news and (in his eyes) bring Trump down another notch.

Once again, Republicans will field a thundering herd of unarticulated, ineffectual 2nd and 3rd stringers clotting up the process and wasting time, space, money and message. Media will play its part by manipulating them up the flagpole and ignoring as much as possible any real strong leader. Especially THE REAL strong leader. Whom they will ignore as much as possible, or do hit pieces. Dems will coalesce around a pander and benefit angle for each pigeonholed base group, set in motion Operation 2024, and it's all over but the balloon drop.

I like what DeSantis is doing in Florida, but what troubles me is that the GOPe is pushing him hard. Heb Bush is a big supporter, and that sets off warning bells to me.

Pence, I do not want a leader such as you, that hides in the corner frightened, when a few protestors are outside, or when entrusted with power, does not employ it, something the Democrats would never have done. Further Pence, you have a remarkably lacking charisma, and speaking inability. If I want a faded out nobody, coward, and whisling, I will think of you.

Be quiet Judas Pence. You are a weasel and owned by the Swamp. You might get some of the naive evangelicals to buy your hogwash, but churchian, you are no Christian. You are a wolf in sheep's clothing trying to deceive us.

This gives some additional understanding to Pence's refusal to defend PDJT. On some level, he realized that the only way a feckless schmoe like him could be President, was to provide relief from the corrupt dumpster fire of a prez like the Vegetable. It all makes sense now.

The pubbies are fortunate to have a number of potentially good conservative candidates. Pence seems like an able administrator with experience chops, but questionable CEO chops especially when contrasted to the likely few really good potential candidates. The dems have fewer attractive choices, but unless fraud is fixed, even Scooby Do would be electable.

Backstabbing Mike Pence will not come in the top three in his own home state's primary.
When President Trump is sworn in for his second term as president on January 20, 2025, my only hope is that he picks far better people to surround himself with!!!!!

Here's what I think of Pence. His true colors are being exposed. The bible speaks about his character. Jesus said He was the Good Shepherd, but there's another person. He's a hireling, a hired hand. That's Pence! Here's his description: a person who serves for hire especially for purely mercenary motives. A hired hand will run when he sees a wolf coming. He will abandon the sheep because they don’t belong to him and he isn’t their shepherd. And so the wolf attacks them and scatters the flock.
Pence is that hireling that can't be trusted because he's out for himself. He will say and do whatever it takes to elevate himself for power and money...a snake.
#7 added to this description...Mike Pence, you are a liar, a snake, and a traitor to the United States of America. I hope justice finds you soon.

Pence should retire instead of continually attempting to lob phony jabs at the most effective and sincere American President since Pres. Reagan, Pres. TRUMP. Pence comes off as a whiny spoil-sport, ...which he is.

Frankly, m'dear, President Trump made Pence seem a lot nicer than he was. Pence should keep his flapping gums to himself. As the southern comic once said philosophically, ''He shore ain't no So-krates!''

If there are better choices than Trump, those choices certainly do not include Pence.

In the past he's expressed fear of having a meal with a woman who is not his wife.
That's just weird.

It seemed to me that Pence did a good job as President Trump's VP.
However, when the 2020 election was stolen by the 'RATS, Pence, instead of standing and fighting to expose the corruption, did a hard 180-degree turn, and now appears to have joined The Swamp.
Maybe he was one of them all along. If so, he sure did a good job of hiding it.
Jesse Kelly, on his radio show, once told a story about his experience with Pence when Jesse was running for Congress.
The upshot of the story was that Jesse's experience was that Pence seemed like a good guy..... as long as things were going well.
However, when the chips were down, Pence would turn and attack the person he had earlier supported.
Pence, sadly, is not to be trusted.

Pence is a wimp. If he runs he will never get the Republican nomination. That is if the wimpy Republicans really want to win the General Election. In the run up to any General Election the aggressive and mean Democrats would stomp Pence into the gutter, where he would “prayerfully” remain, until he was told that he lost the General Election to a leftist or socialist Democrat.
