I do not think your comparison of Mike Pence to Molotov--or any other member of Stalin's gang of thieves--is appropriate.

Mike Pence did the right thing at the right time to save this democratic republic from ruin.

Prior to his acceptance of trump's offer to serve as VP, Pence was himself a contender for the Presidential office.

Like any politician, Mike is assessing his options, every step of the way, hoping to emerge as a most-likely nominee in '24.

By not getting caught in the trumpian clusterfk, Mike is reserving his spot as a contender for the GOP nomination in '24.

He would be a better President than trump, or even . . . a better candidate, because he plays by the rules. He is a master of playing by the rules, which is far better than his former boss was.
