Let's say that in April, Trump would have come out and said: I'm not running again. I'm not a career politician. I'm gonna focus on the economy, and covid. And I'm gonna let Mike Pence run for President.

Would Pence have a better shot at beating Biden than Trump?

Would Pence add 8 more years to the Trump Legacy instead of possibly only 4 more with Trump himself?

Very much so. People aren't voting for Biden...they're voting against Trump.

No. He will be demonized by the left as bad or worse than OMB.

It’s hilarious to me how easily Trumps accomplishments are forgotten . The guy did more in 4 years for our country then any President before him. All while fighting the democrats and media . This post is just dumb , how can you tell a president who is delivered on his promises and made our country successful again to “sit this one out” .

No one...and I mean no one could accomplish what trump has. Any other politician would have thrown in the towel three years ago.

The Dims and accomplices in the media will demonize ANY Republican candidate. They did it to McCain, Romney, and now Trump. The only difference is Trump fights back. He does not roll over and take it like past Republicans. A few Republicans have seen the light and now realize the media will NEVER be fair or objective. It is a losing battle to try. I would rather lose fighting tooth and nail over losing but playing nice. The Dims never do! I wish these suburban females would finally realize this!

frick no. This board thinks Pence has a much better appeal than he actually does. Is he great in debates and good at keeping himself out of scandals? Absolutely. While his appeal to evangelicals is very high it is very low with many others. He won't be able to pull the moderates that trump does.

If he wins the republican nomination next election he will lose. He is a good man and has done a great job in his role. I actually think he would make a good pres too but he won't win the election.

No way. Trump has set the standard for what it takes to defeat the democrat pandering, lying, socialist, identity politics machine. Come out swinging, attack at every chance, no compromise. Anything less will be steamrolled by the leftists and the entitlement moochers.

The democrat party had perfected their playbook for defeating standard republican candidates. Trump made that playbook obsolete. They still have that playbook ready to roll if they get the chance again.

Nah,


Since the left sees Trump as Hitler, they would only see Pence as Himmler.

I have to work with people from both parties for my job. I’ve heard more than a few times from people within the party that many republicans feel like they have a Trump problem. He wins this election he can prove them all wrong, even if it’s a razor thin victory.

I think Booker would have a better chance at beating Trump than Biden. The year of BLM and someone who could stay up with Trumps energy. The Dems threw out one of the most fricked up candidates in American history.

I understand that a great many people are voting against trump.

We will have to wait and see what comes from the election.

Pence would not have the people willing to crawl over broken glass to vote for him like trump does.

Pence has been portrayed as anti-gay, so probably not. If he came out tomorrow and said he was for a gay marriage amendment to the constitution, he probably would be.

I’d honestly never paid much attention to Pence. Then I watched the debate and aside from the dumb fly the most memorable thing was just how smooth he is. He’s certainly “presidential “ enough which some of my RINO friends are fixated on.

Maybe. And the only reason is enthusiasm and voter turnout. How many of these people who think trump is the second coming of Jesus would stay home? Impossible to say. Pence would have their vote over Biden, obviously, just a matter if they turn out or not. There’s plenty of independent and center, center-left R’s who would have pulled the lever for Pence had it been his name and not Trump’s.

I truly can’t wait for 2024. I’m excited to see who come out for the R’s. A changing of the guard is about to happen and there’s some talent in Congress of some very decent, smart men.
