    First of all. Lol. Hope he and Trump make it to the same debate stage..... would love to see that interaction.

    Anyone think he has a remote chance of getting the Republican nod?

    Whether we are Conservatives/Republicans, Independents, or Liberals/Democrats, shouldn't we all want better candidates?

    And this guy is not it.

    Pence vs trump vs de?

    And I thought Democrats did a piss poor job with their field. Republicans always manage to one up them.

    Whether he runs or not the only question is will DeSantis pick Pence as his VP running mate.

    Pence isn’t it. Both Trump and DeSantis are excellent candidates. Far superior to any dem. But definitely not Pence. He is wasting his time.

    LOL! Pence has become a pariah for both the left and the right. Why he thinks that he could garner any votes is beyond me.

    THAT says everything one needs to know about this country's politics. Quallity of the candidate matters none.....

    Does Pence stand a chance against Trump?? Not that Pence is of stellar character...but he would have to find a very clever way to out maneuver the master manipulator who is cut throat rage filled (leave no witnesses) to his core.

    If we thought we have been living in an ugly Trump era... we ain't seen nothing yet .Anyone competing with Trump is raw meat for him.(and many just eat it all up.)

    Chris Christie is throwing his proverbial hat into the mix again too. Seems like 2016 all over again. We have just under 18 months to go, I am intrigued as to how the Republican primary will play out.

    With Trump in it, one thing is for sure, it will be a circus. The name calling is going to be epic.

    Are there even very may yet? and many are trying to get their own lane.
    Pence wants evangelicals and never trumpers
    Desantis wants the people who like trump but think he’s toxic
    Hailey is running for Vp
    Who else is there?

    Trump is unlikely to walk away quietly if he loses and of course he is stubborn enough to run by himself.

    Two chances of getting the Republican nomination. Slim and none. And slim just left town.

    As far as the MAGA are concerned, you can't prevent an attempted coup organized by them without paying the price.
