Former Vice President Pence is once again at odds with his one-time boss, former President Trump.
Pence on Monday endorsed real estate developer and Arizona Board of Regents member Karrin Taylor Robson in next month’s GOP gubernatorial primary in the race to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Doug Ducey. (snip) Taylor Robson is one of the two polling front-runners in the Republican primary in a field of four candidates, along with former TV news anchor Kari Lake, who for months has been supported by Trump.

Pence is stooge and Fox News sucks.
FTA: the former president’s unproven claims that the 2020 presidential contest was "rigged" and "stolen."
Right and I'm Santa Claus - how much evidence do they need that poopy pants (a man who couldn't fill a phone booth in a rain storm didn't get 81 million votes?)

We now know under President Trump, Birx lied, Fauci lied and General Milley directed the military to disobey direct orders. Our government went rogue well before November 3, 2020. Stealing the election was the final act of their coup. My question now is did VP Pence know about these lies or was he approving any of these subversive actions behind the President’s back?

Pence has already reached the pinnacle of his political career. As described in The Peter Principle, he has ascended to his level of incompetence and has no where left to go except down. He will remain the darling of Never Trumpers but no one else.

He will do this. He and his soulmate Karen were neve fans of Trump and Melania. (Pretty simple to figure out. Jealousy and loyalty don’t mix) Now he thinks he is carving his own separate identity. Before Tump he had none. Boring little man with boring little wife.

Would anyone outside of Indiana know who this man is, were it not for Donald Trump? He acts like he was elected to the office of VP - Trump was elected; Pence was little more than his appointee.

I guess there’s money in this for him even though nobody wants him. I suppose he can sweep up a few votes for somebody and get paid for it.

To some Pence may seem to be moderate, but all that means in my book is that he has no spine. With all that is going on we need someone with some courage and conviction

I live in Arizona and have been leaning Lake - she is making all the right noises - but was not sure because of some question about her past affiliations and leanings. Now that I see that such luminaries as Pence and Ducey are pushing the Robson woman I am no longer in doubt. Lake all the way.

It would appear that Pence lacks in the independent political wisdom and instincts to understand where exactly he is. Without Trump, he's just a guy who has some appeal as a second choice for evangelicals. As a leader he would be weak and defer to the Senate. He can get votes as a trump alternative, but not as a never trumper.

Maybe when the demonrats bounce Mancini - - they'll be willing to take Pence off our hands.

Pence thinks he is going to take over. I don't think so. A man with no personality, no ideas, and that will stab you in the back doesn't have many supporters.

I'm a Zonie as well and this contest is turning into quite a problem. If you haven't seen Lake's ad where she literally takes a sledgehammer to the media, I highly suggest you google some variant of Kari Lake sledgehammer. It's extremely effective because she KNOWS what she's talking about having been a news anchor for 25+ years. She's identified the problem all right, but unfortunately the MEDIA is not who she is running against. She has ZERO political experience---ZIP. So she is carefully trying to run an aggressive campaign with as few public appearances as possible. She's very vulnerable in this area but the Pence-endorsed woman running against her is now facing claims that she was a big Obama financial supporter. Stay tuned.

If you believe all members of the SSCI have been/are compromised, you have to look at Pence. He recommended Dan Coats to PDJT.
I have always thought Pence was a mole.

When I see what a disaster Joe Biden is after nearly 50 years of “experience in Government”, I believe it would be refreshing to have some with fresh eyes and good conservative minds.

@#15 - Don't be squishy. You'd be a fool to vote for anyone other than Kari Lake.

I’m here in Arizona and I watched a debate that Lake and Taylor Robson
were in. Robson is nasty, rude and obnoxious. I voted for Lake.

Pence, Romney, and Liz Cheney are creatures from the same Bull manure.

Judas Pence just doesn't get it does he? Americans do not want him or his sleazy, weaselly two faced lies any more. You are to blame for a lot of what is going on because you refused to listen to the state's requests for a delay of certification so they could do an audit. The epic disaster unfolding is on you Pence. Now go back to your expensive mansion and be quiet you Churchian.

Why is this about Pence and Trump when it should be about Robson and Lake? #15, if you had doubts (was just with far flung mostly R, mostly conservative family in Az for funeral for a couple days - I got an earful of legitimate reasons for those doubts!) you seem to have chucked any consideration of Robeson for Lake because of Pence. Is that a thoughtful, honest consideration or a knee jerk reaction? I didn't get to hear what was good about her, or anything about Robeson in our discussions. Because I left Az before we could further the political discussion I am truly interested in your reply! ;)
