Not running? What kind of drugs are you on? Do you think Pence is any more equipped to handle this shit? Do you think the Dems won't attack him just as hard? One thing about Trump, he's all about LEGACY. 4 years doesn't cut it. Jimmy Carter, GHWB. Failures. 8 years, plus. Why do you think Hussein has stuck around so long? LEGACY. PDJT solidifies his own while destroying his illegitimate predecessor's.
Pence can run in '24 on the strength of his COVID handling, plus whatever arises by mid '23.
