Don’t get me wrong, I have never liked past Vice-President Mike Pence. If the polls were correct he would not have been re-elected as the Governor of Indiana. Many believe he messed up the state’s finances to prove he was fiscally conservative in order to run for President after his second term. He was chosen to be past President Donald Trump’s Vice-President for potential help with the religious voters.
Pence is one of those who beats religion into others and believes that religion is his Christian belief and not any other sect or belief. Our country was founded on separation of church and state but Pence sees it as an impediment to his beliefs and ambitions.
Another reason is his complete support of Trump up to January 6, 2020. Yes, it is the V.P.s job to support his boss but I have not heard of any other dissent and there were many instances where he could have advised against Trump’s activities.
One last reason is Trump’s own reported words, “You are too honest”. How can the vast majority of Americans support someone who is “too honest”? Does that mean he is dishonest in some amount and honest on other accounts? How can those who wonder how people who supposedly live off their salary get so rich and have a very suspicious lifestyle?
Where will a “too honest” person go for a job after their political career is over as Pence’s is. He will probably go to some right wing Religious University or think tank sponsored by the Far Right. Don’t worry, all his pensions will keep him in caviar.
