Two for the price of one
This story is about not ONE troubled former politician but two! Two for the price of one. One is about a demand someone made. One is the reaction that could, MAYBE see the light of day.
Mike Pence has dropped out of the Presidential race, which is not, in and of itself, a shock, as the only specific vote I know he would get is the debate fly. (Maybe.) But Donald Trump got wind of the former VP’s dropping out., And faster than one could say “what nerve,” Trump was demanding Pence endorse him.
That’s right. The man who almost got his VP killed, who has done nothing but denigrate him, now demands Pence kiss the royal ring. “I chose him,” Trump said belligerently in Las Vegas. (Las Vegas, the city of sinners. they got one more with Trump.)
“He should endorse me. But people in politics are very disloyal.” Say WHAT? Oh my. Pot please meet kettle. I am sure you are pleased to make each other’s acquaintance. The level of egotistical insanity here surprised even me.
Of course, nobody has asked Trump why he’d WANT the endorsement of a man he’s done nothing but insult. I suppose for Trump, who the person is does not matter. He wants love and admiration from EVERYONE.
Now — this would be the time when one might expect I’d write something like: “Pence will never endorse Trump. When pigs fly.” Only I am not going to do so. Welcome to surprising thing number two.
I would not be AT ALL surprised if Pence DID endorse Trump. Why? Because Pence, long ago, misplaced something significant, and he’s been unable to find it ever since. That little thing is his spine. He’s been to Iowa and New Hampshire, various Pizza Ranches, he’s been all over the country, the man about town, but he still cannot seem to find that one thing he needs most — his spine.
It is playing Hide and Seek with him. Yes, Pence might endorse Trump. Such a move would not surprise me in the least.
Pence has become a pitiful little thing, has he not? At least he knew when to stop and drop out. The good news is now we, as well as the 15 people who showed up at his last campaign event, will no longer have to hear Pence’s excruciating plans for women, his thoughts on how women should stay home and bear babies, and trying to avoid mentioning Donald’s name.
But an endorsement? Maybe. Pence is way more passionate about stopping women from making their own medical decisions than he’s ever been about the people who would have seen him hanged. So we’ll see if an endorsement is imminent.
