Did you ever think Dan Quayle would play such a prominent role in saving our Republic?

[kentuck]

We are discovering from the new book that VP Pence was looking to Dan Quayle for advice on whether he could help Trump steal an election? From the reports we have read, VP Pence was torn about what he should do?

Pence was subjugated to extreme pressure from Donald Trump and his lawyers. He was presented with a 6-point plan on how they could credibly give the election to Donald Trump and keep Joe Biden, the legitimate winner, out of the White House.

Quayle informed Pence that was something that he did not have the authority to do. He should just forget about it. His only duty was to count the votes.

It is shocking to think that our country came so close to a coup, except for the input of former ridiculed VP, Dan Quayle.

1. It's not like it was a spelling bee.

3. "VP Pence was looking to Dan Quayle for advice"

That is absolutely the most horrifying statement I've ever read.

If you're looking for a confirmation of the US entering a dark age. There be it.

4. Nope... Though I'm not surprised he would take a GHW Bush ('OLD SCHOOL R) position on constitution.

Never in my wildest dreams did I picture him being instrumental--or even called upon-- in stopping such an immediate threat to democracy.

But, I know he respected his late boss, and thus it would be hard for me to picture him as anything other than anti-Trump-- as nearly all the Bushes are. (and to those who reflexively meet even the most generic, yet non-negative comment about any Bush with intense rage, I've not changed my mind on the bigger picture, but only differentiating them from Trump and Trumpsters).

11. His existence might be the one thing that

kept us from going the way of Turkey, Poland, Hungary, the Philippines, etc. At least for now.

9. Quayle played a huge role

imagine if he had said the opposite.

10. Imagine that. Dan Quayle as an unsung heroe. nt

13. It reminds me of that time John Ashcroft

refused to sign-off on Alberto Gonzalez's wiretapping program when he was in the hospital because it was illegal. Who would have thought?

14. We were so close

And if they had done it, I don't think anyone would have stopped them. The media would have been outraged for a few weeks, but then fallen into "both sides have a point."

15. I am stunned, and glad now that I did not have brake failure when I saw him many

years ago. A friend pointed out the long-time connection between pious pence and quayle. Proof that the multiverse has a twisted sense of humour.

16. Never would have thought that--Not for every potatoe in the world (n/t)

17. The fact that Pence had to reach that far back into the generations of GOP leaders says a lot

Couldn’t call current leaders. They are all in Trump’s pocket.

19. I think it was the Indiana connection (and also a VP)

18. Honestly, I don't give him much credit for saying what ANYONE should say.
