“We're all put to the test... but it never comes in the form or at the point we would prefer, does it?”
I can not think of anyone other than Mike Pence who thought Mike Pence should be President. So, it comes as no surprise that Mike Pence dropped out of the race.
Everyone recalls Pence playacting a tough guy stare across the DMZ with North Korea while wearing his leather jacket. But, I think the time Pence sheepishly removed a water bottle in front of him because Trump moved his is the epitome of Mike's entire political career.
Pence benefited from the American tradition of elevating any white man above and beyond his ability, skills, or keen. And make no mistake Pence was no hero when he was put to the test on Jan6th. Pence yearned to find someone anyone (Why even Dan Quayle would suffice!) to tell him you can do this, you can overthrow the United States government and remain in power and it's nice and legal (or legal-ish as "George" "Santos" would say). Instead after not using legerdemain to conduct an Autogolpe, Pence has spent the last 2+ years trying to ridiculously navigate the space between approving the Jan6th rioters calling for his hanging and wooing the Trumpublican mob despite their utter abject hatred for him for failing to deliver the goods.
Part of Mike Pence's appeal to voters was his claim he and Trump would have reneged on the deal to withdraw US Troops from Afghanistan and kept forces in the country. How that would have worked with the Taliban back in political power is anyone's guess but, when you're concocting fantasy scenarios in your head like RINO Mike Pence well there you go. Of course, part of Pence's Afghanistan bullshit is to reinforce the nonsense about the 2021 withdrawal being a calamitous calamity of such proportion heretofore never seen in the history of the US and world and to downplay the Trump administration's culpability.
Additionally, Pence cosponsored the AUMF for George W(orst Ever) Bush's invasion of Iraq so it's unsurprising he was still in favor of staying in America's longest war just like Liz Cheney, whom some blind liberals actually believed was on the side of the Democrats instead of being the viper who wants to return the Republican Party to the snobbish bigotry and concealed hatred of the Other.
Anyway good bye forever to Mike Pence we now only have to deal with his devious brother in Indiana.
