Mike Pence is forming a SuperPAC, ‘Committed to America,’ and is preparing to barnstorm Iowa as a presidential candidate. He thinks it’s more like Indiana than any state and feels confident he will do well.
“This campaign is going to reintroduce Mike Pence to the country as his own man,” a G.O.P. operative said.
He plans to run, promising to return the Republican Party to what it was pre-Trump. Didn’t people vote for Donald Trump because they had it with the Republican party before Trump?
However, Pence plans to run as Ronald Reagan, reports the NY Times.
“Reagan coalition” — composed of the Christian right, fiscal conservatives, and national security hawks — can be reassembled within a party transformed by Mr. Trump.
When he talks about national security, does he mean the border or fighting wars?
“Mr. Pence is working to carve out space in the Republican primary field by appealing to evangelicals, adopting a hard-line position in support of a federal abortion ban, promoting free trade, and pushing back against Republican efforts to police big business on ideological grounds,” says the Times.
It sounds like he’s not in touch with open borders, crime, weaponization of government, discontent with big business, and the failed economy.
Chamber of Commerce?
Scott Reed, a Chamber of Commerce strategist, will run the campaign.
The Chamber of Commerce is evil. They want open borders.
A friend of Pence’s, Jeb Hensarling, will also assist.
“We have to resist the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles,” Mr. Pence said in the interview.
Whatever anyone thinks of Donald Trump, he was the quintessential conservative, which is why Rush Limbaugh supported him. True conservatism is moored to common sense, not ideology.
I think Pence is unmoored from the conservatives in his party. As for abortion, it would be a foolish controversy to highlight. We must win this election. A federal anti-abortion law would be unconstitutional, given the Supreme Court’s decision. In any case, it would be used against the right. We shouldn’t lose this next very crucial election on something that now lies appropriately with the states.
Pence is a party man. Have no use for him, no matter how nice he is.
pence has lost his mind
so he’s Regan without a personality?
“This campaign is going to reintroduce Mike Pence to the country as his own man,” a G.O.P. operative said.
Did the operative speak in a falsetto voice and have a side gig at Disneyworld
Ha !
Pence is trying to whitewash his sorid image.
Did not Pense get Gen. Flynn fired by making up a lie on Flynn? RINOs need to be kept in a zoo.
Pence fooled me once…anyway, Reagan was trustworthy and dependable, unlike Pence.
Deep State Stooge more like it…
I am old enough to remember Ronald Reagan, Mike Pence is no Ronald Reagan.
“Mike Pence Is Preparing to Run as Ronald Reagan.” Now that’s funny.
There is lots of hidden support for Pence among the corrupt elites, for his role in the election coup. He requires Trump to be in jail, and probably has inside people telling him that will happen. Anyhow, Pence is ambitious, and intends to exploit the favor he gained with the elites.
His policies as I read them are abstruse, it is a marketing strategy with contradictions. His RINO friends blame abortion for the lost 2022 election (because they do not want to blame their internal sabotage or the election crimes). They want nothing to do with an abortion ban. Pence is making an empty promise.
Using a Reagan facade as a cover for America Last policies (open borders, military interventions, …) is a strategy which shows he is not smart.
He would have more luck running as Michelle Pence. At least some lgbt might vote for him.
The jackals are all trying to run away from themselves. Pence destroyed his political career when he betrayed our country.
Running very old script. Dufus!
“before Trump” ?
like Romney, McCain and the Bush’s ?
no thanks.
Wasn’t he the sidekick to Doctor Quest?
Kinda tells you what he REALLY is!
Yeah everyone makes fun of me as a “Florida man’, that’s fine , I live here YOU don’t! And I’ve been to Indiana MULTIPLE times, and the folks call ME a “goody two-shoes!
I was delighted….
Hey Pence, “off”, is the general direction you may now “F”…
Used to like Pence until he folded under pressure. Now I wouldn’t pee on him if he was on fire.
“He plans to run, promising to return the Republican Party to what it was pre-Trump.”
No.
Oh please, I ALREADY survived Yeb! as gov!
I can’t understand Pence. He has zero chance. Trump supporters will NEVER vote for him. He is a boring little nothing that got a time in power because of Trump, and then let us all down when we needed him the most.
He is just the deep state’s new white Obama. It seems that they have already decided who they will install next
Pence is dreaming. “National Security Hawks” aka CIA NSA is what Edward Snowden was blowing the whistle on. He’s living in Russia now because the Deep State considers him a traitor. The NSA and CIA were spying on Americans and still is. Frankly I think he’s a hero for coming out and letting us know our government was surveilling We The People.

I’m not willing to go so far as to call Snowden a hero – he was a hatchet man for the clowns sent to sabotage the NSA. He’s not the enemy of our enemy – he’s the friend of a different enemy. Not the same caliber as Assange by a longshot.
FWIW, Pence has a better chance of being RON Paul’s 2024 VP than running for POTUS. Never gonna happen. He is dreaming, indeed.
