Notably, of all living GOP nominees for president and vice president, only former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is supporting Trump in 2024.

And abandoning commitments that we have to allies around the world are deeply troubling to me and deeply disappointing,” Pence said of the current GOP platform, adding:

But I honestly believe, and make no mistake about it. You got people from all over the country or people watching all over the country. We can we can help our our candidates at every level. By speaking the truth to them respectfully.

He was too chicken shit to cross Cheato when he was VP, and I am certain he'll vote for him but will be too ashamed to confess it.

Every damned one of them. They'll kiss the ring in hopes of saving their own lives, since Trump has said repeatedly he will make everyone who's spoken or acted against him pay for it.
