I'll give Pence credit. Some MAGA nut is liable to take a shot at him, because he's using a lot stronger language than he had been.
But every time he says something bad about Trump, I'm waiting for him to bring up Hunter or Joe Biden or some bullshit about the Democrats.
Because he's running for the White House, and because he can't fucking help himself, he just can't fucking turn off campaign mode, not even for a few weeks.
If he was out there doing nothing but talking about what Trump tried to get him to do, out there talking about Constitutional issues and how he stood up to Trump and his cronies, I'd have some actual respect for him. Hell, it'd probably get him some votes among the non-Trumper Republicans (there are some), maybe even some moderate R's, maybe even a few actual Christians that he was put on the ticket to attract. Maybe some of the Libertarian/Constitutional Party types.
But then he opens his mouth and talks about Biden, and immediately you can no longer trust everything he just said about what he believes in, because he's not Mike Pence, the man who refused to help Trump, he's Mike Pence, the candidate who stands to benefit from Trump going down, the candidate who wants everybody to know that when he's not being punished by Mother and being forced to masturbate into Her Hand, he's loving the Constitution and the American Flag (but only in a strictly heterosexual way).
