    Pence is pretty much of a non-factor in 2024. He reminds me of the old line Republicans who put up a paper tiger run against the Democrats and then rolls over and plays dead after they “fought the good fight.” In other words he represents another breed of RINO that doesn’t really stand for much of anything.

    Trump picked him because he won’t give his boss much competition in headline stealing department. Obama picked Biden for much the same reason.

    The sad and scary part is that vice presidents have come to considered “presidential timber” in recent decades. From the 19th century until 1960, they used “to ride off into the sunset” when their boss left office. Since then Nixon, Johnson, Humphrey, Ford, Mondale, George H. W. Bush, Gore and Biden have won their party’s nomination or become president. It really drives home the fact that picking a vice presidential candidate needs to be something more than afterthought or politically expedient. Image if Spiro Agnew or Sarah Palin had made it to the White House. :cynic:

    Mr. Michael Pence's positions and actions, excluding his one moment in the sun when he presided over the certification of the 2020 presidential election results, are testament to the belief that church and state do not pair well.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well.

    Just goes to show how classless Pence can be. A Christian joking about another Christian's faith. Perhaps he's trying to appeal to the Christian vote, but that sure isn't the way to go about it.

    That's a game that I refuse to play. I have only one standard to determine whether a person is a Christian or not and it has nothing to do with their behavior.

    Based on your standard there is no way you could think Trump is a christian. Glad we cleared that up.

    I would assume it’s being a good person, faithful to their spouse, not talking about women in a disrespectful way, you know things like that. Is that not what you meant? Hmmm. Okay never mind.

    He wasn't joking about another Christian's faith. He was joking about Trump.

    I don't know why you would assume that when I specifically said ". . . it has nothing to do with their behavior."

    I know it was a joke, but it was an attack on another Christian's sincerity or faith. It was tasteless.

    It should only have anything to do with their behavior.

    Even us woke people don't respect people who claim to be trans if their behavior is entirely cis.

    Trump is not a Christian. Pretending he is, dilutes everyone else's faith.

    My belief doesn't align with your belief about what makes a person a Christian. Jesus didn't come to reform people's behavior. He came to save them from the harm of their behavior.

    Trump isn't going to heaven if Christianity is true.

    I disagree. If sin kept someone from heaven, no man will be going to heaven.

    Can’t wait for the Trump/DeSantis slap fight to get into full swing.

    Do you honestly think Trump is a sincere Christian? Chances are pretty good he’s atheist.

    Sincerity has nothing to do with it. I've met plenty of sincere Christians who sinned every day of the week but Sunday.

    Maybe this will be the subject of Tucker's next act.

    Trump suggests Pence to blame for Jan. 6 violence after former VP’s criticism

    Former President Trump on Monday claimed former Vice President Mike Pence was responsible for the violence on Jan. 6, 2021, two days after Pence took aim at his old boss for his conduct around the riots at the Capitol that day.

    Trump, speaking to a group of reporters aboard his personal plane en route to a campaign event in Iowa, responded to comments Pence made at the annual Gridiron Dinner in Washington, D.C., in which the former vice president said “history will hold Donald Trump accountable” for the events of Jan. 6.
