Mike Pence in the News

Mike Pence is such an insipid human being that it’s almost amusing to find him in the news.  Apparently, he’s breaking away from Trump re: the Georgia gubernatorial race and is backing the opponent of the former president’s pick.

I’m not sure this has any more impact in the campaign than the support of the mayor of Topeka.

The only thing that Pence did of any importance in the course of his four-year term was his certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election in favor of Joe Biden.  This, to be fair, was not nothing; in fact, he did it at his own peril. (“Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence!”)

It seems that the Republican party is splitting between:

– The Trump/MAGA sociopaths, and

– The old-style GOP, now far to the right of where it was 20 years ago, but at least not criminally insane.

As Americans, we reluctantly find ourselves in the damage control business, and thus we must hope that Trump simply vanishes, at least until he’s charged, tried, convicted, and incarcerated.
