    I don’t want Mike Pence in power but this just…isn’t a real critique. It’s not hypocritical. You can still be a member of X group even if a member of X group tried to kill you.

    Did you think he would become a Democrat? No, he’s just a MAGA Republican who, like most of America, dislikes the people who tried to overturn a democratic vote.

      I feel like you’re missing the MAGA part of MAGA republican. He can be a republican without subscribing to the specific brand of republicanism Trump created.

        As veep he aided and abetted in the creation of this brand of Republicanism. If anything, he’d have gone farther given the reins. I’m pretty sure one reason nobody shot at Trump was the threat of President Pence.
