13. All Mike Pence cares about at this point is whether, and how, to win the White House for himself.

I'd bet he's gonna start trying to position himself as the next republi-CON go-to, in case trump fails. I'd also bet if trump doesn't fail, Pence could be bracing NOT to be invited onto the ticket again. He knows trump holds grudges and no loyalty he ever showed in all the years before now will matter a bit.

I think he's damaged goods for the rest of his political life. I am NO fan of Dan Quayle, but at least he went out with some dignity, directly into discreet retirement. I don't think Pence is even that smart.

Sorry behind on this topic. But when people say "forged and plagiarized" Laura PourMeADrink Jan 2022 #22

Yes. They were signed by the real gop electors Takket Jan 2022 #24

Thanks T Laura PourMeADrink Jan 2022 #31

As they weren't certified by the state, they weren't real electors. Kaleva Jan 2022 #38

They were the chosen gop electors had drumpf won Takket Jan 2022 #44

I wonder that as they used there own names, was any forgery committed? Kaleva Jan 2022 #45

That would depend on how forgery is defined in the relevant statutes. onenote Jan 2022 #26

I stand corrected thanks ! Laura PourMeADrink Jan 2022 #30

They weren't the real electors though Kaleva Jan 2022 #40
