No one is gonna vote for a traitor. Honestly he is wasting our time.

And just like that, millions of conservatives swiped left.
This is where you belong, Mike. You go sit on the left with your pals.

What Mike Pence said was totally well said and true. The Constitution says the Vice President only has the power to preside over the Senate, only Congress does the votes. So Mike Pence has every right to not listen to Donald Trump, Trump was being a complete sore loser and was even was impressed with the riot of the Capitol, with no remorse of his own Vice President in danger, I am not voting for Trump. That’s a good example of the difference of disobeying your boss and obeying the Constitution. I’m sure the Foundling Fathers would be very proud. I’m either voting for Robert F Kennedy Jr, or Mike Pence, or Niki Hayley.

The time to do this statement about trump was on January 6th. He’s a day late and a dollar short, as they say. Only speaking against him now in hopes to gain back the Republicans who have left the party.

Remember how he looked at Trump during Trump's State of The Union Address. Pence was looking at him all admirably... Yeah... I saw right thru that...

[ChicagoHOG]

Pence. Because Longshanks isn't an option. Backstabbing RINO. He has chance.

[mudcrunch]

This dynamic candidate will garner one vote, period: from his mother, Karen.

Mike Pence: "No one is above the constitution and the law."
Also Mike Pence: "Don't indict Donald Trump because it's dramatic and divisive."

[QuickProgramming]

Its cute how Tim Scott thinks he has a chance in the republican party as the nominee😂 He doesnt seem to understand what kind of party he belongs to🤣 He would lose even as the only candidate lol

Saw the whole speech. Pence was not destroying Trump. He gave him a lot of respect.

[blacksmokematters]

[geraldperrilliat]

[floridanews]

Pence doesn't have an ice cubes chance in a bon fire.

[graceearney]

Trump as took a lot for our country and we need to stand with him he loves our country.

[wolfmangoland]

It took Pence 3 years to figure out Trump is guilty. His brain works very slowly.

[ustheserfs]

[saulsaldana]
