(8,345 posts)Unless he was put behind bars and prevented from running (both, not just one), wouldn't have made a woof of difference.

(3,222 posts)Public pressure would have been too great and they could not hide behind the lies that these were DEMOCRAT TRAITORS if Pence had honestly testified.
Prevented from running would mean that he would be in jail.

(1,653 posts)and who knows what shenanigans it would have led to. But he didn't, and they literally tried to murder him for it.
He's far from my favorite person, but credit where it's due.

(64,333 posts)... no credit is due. What special credit do you get for doing what you are supposed to be doing every damn day? Jan 6 was just another day on the calendar for Pence. He earned his pay, not a backpat. This isn't t-ball, we don't give out participation trophies,
Mountainguy
(1,653 posts)That's exactly what you get credit for. You can do two things, the right or the wrong. The logic doesn't really work if you're saying no credit when you do the right thing.

of course, Pence has to be an arsehole about President Biden.
