Mike Pence did a huge service for his country and made his hometown of Columbus proud when he was called upon to do his sworn duty to protect the Constitution, by counting the Electoral College votes, making Joe Biden the new president. He also helped to save our democracy which was under attack, not from outsiders, but by Americans. He did it, even though shortly before, his life was threatened by insurrectionists who wanted to hang him, encouraged by his own boss’s words. So great was former President Donald Trump’s desire to hold on to power, he didn’t care who got hurt or killed.
Should Pence go through with his plan to fight the special counsel subpoena, which could help bring charges against those at the top responsible for the insurrection, he would be doing a great disservice to his country and be seen as a great disappointment by many in his hometown. What was it that could’ve made Pence want to “strike out” with the special counsel, after his “home run” for the country and for democracy, by counting the electoral votes? Surely it couldn’t have been his loyalty to Trump, who didn’t give a damn if he had swung from the noose, which had been provided by the insurrectionists that day, and for all the world to see.
What then? Could it be Pence’s way of pleasing Trump supporters, hoping some of them would forgive him, if only reluctantly, and give him their votes, should he decide to run for president? Because when it comes to politics, you don’t have to be married to each other to sleep together. Most would rather vote for Trump, but they believe he’s carrying too much baggage to fly this time.
