Mike Pence tries to separate himself from Donald Trump as both eye 2024

WASHINGTON – As various Republicans ponder a presidential run in 2024, most observers expected at least one of the candidates to distance themselves from front-runner and former president Donald Trump.

Few expected that candidate to be Mike Pence.

Yet the former vice president has been on a months-long effort to divorce himself from the less popular parts of the Trump agenda, all with an eye on a presidential bid of his own in two years.

While prospective Republican candidates for 2024 are careful to stay on Trump's good side – he remains very popular with the GOP rank-and-file – it is the uber-loyal vice president who is emerging as the biggest scold of the ex-president.

I think enough Republicans are still with TFG that he can win a nomination, especially if there are numerous other candidates splitting the vote.

And once TFG wins the nomination, there are plenty of Republicans who will take the Bill Bahr approach and vote for Fascism. And if TFG doesn't win, there will be State Legislatures that will try to install him.
