I think that Mike Pence knows that his chance at higher office has passed him by. He is one of those rare politicians with functioning self-awareness. He also knows better than walk down the CPAC street littered with the enormous turd piles that President Trump always manages to behind for others to clean up.
It will take a very deft politician to navigate the labyrinth of staying faithful to conservative principles while constantly having to kiss up to Trump. Ric Grennell has shown that he can do it. Ron DeSantis probably also can manage it. I’m not sure yet about any others.
I dont see that. I think Pence charted a wise and honorable course through a tough situation. He's respected among most Trump voters who realize he had no real choice on Jan 6th. If he's dissing Trump voters at this point, its either stupidity or he has no intention of running for office again. My guess is the latter. Frankly, I think he'd be a solid president---1000X better than the one we are currently saddled with.

Don’t rule out Pence yet. If Trump decides not to run in 2024, Pence will have a chance.
Most likely, Pence will be the "Conservative/Lincoln" Party nominee and run against the ®/MAGA nominee in the general election. The outcome will be:
1. Democrat
2. MAGA
3. Conservative
4. Irrelevant(s)

That's not exactly a glowing endorsement considering the one we are currently saddled with is a dementia riddled pedophile.

lol...Duct tape. Any self respecting Trump supporter knows that. 
I went to Disney on Saturday. Dude, this guy had a Chevy Silverado with a set up for about 12 flag holders in the back. That's the way to do it!
