Pence: ‘I think we’ll have better choices in the future’ than Trump
CNN ^ | November 15, 2022 | Veronica Stracqualursi

Former Vice President Mike Pence said in a newly released interview clip that he and his family are giving “prayerful consideration” to whether he should run for president in 2024 and that the US will have “better choices in the future” than former President Donald Trump.

Asked by ABC News’ David Muir if he believes he can defeat Trump, who is expected to announce a 2024 campaign for the White House on Tuesday, Pence replied: “Well, that would be for others to say, and it’d be for us to decide whether or not we’d want to test that.”

And asked whether he believes his former boss should serve again as president, Pence said: “I think that’s up to the American people. But I think we’ll have better choices in the future. People in this country actually get along pretty well once you get out of politics. And I think they want to see their national leaders start to reflect that same, that same compassion and generosity of spirit. And I think, so in the days ahead, I think there will be better choices.”

“And for me and my family, we will be reflecting about what our role is in that,” he added.

The former vice president has been coy about his plans for 2024, but he has long been viewed as a potential aspirant for the Republican presidential nomination. Any formally declared bid, though, would almost certainly face strong opposition from Trump, whose supporters he would need in a primary fight.

Could be. But it won’t be Pence.

Yeah, he was going nowhere fast before Trump picked him. Now he thinks he has earned national stature by doing a whole lot of nothing.

“DeSantis comes the closest to being an alternate to Trump,”

I agree but think it’s great that we have at least four horses in the race (Pence, Pompeo, DeSantis, Trump).

For one thing it’ll give Trump competitors he can compare himself with and see what makes them succeed where he doesn’t and vice versa.

Pence had the opportunity to be a great leader. His cowardice put him in the ash heap of history.

This is the embodiment of Robin thinking he should be wearing the Batman uniform. It doesn’t fit, he’s not the man.

And so Judas betrayed Jesus twice. It wasn’t a virtuous act.

I watched the ABC interview teaser.

I don’t need to see or hear Pence again.

So, he thinks we don’t have any better choices now.

Interesting.

Well, they are not going to suddenly decide to stop cheating if we nominate Pence, or DeSantis, or someone else. So I’m still going to vote for Trump. At the very least then my vote can still help put leftists into spasms of rage.

Pence looks like he came out of central casting as a mortician.
