On Friday, former Vice President Mike Pence came out and admitted that he had no authority to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and the same goes for current VP Kamala Harris should the Repugnants reclaim the White House in 2024.
"Trump is wrong.", he said.
Unfortunately, Donald John Narcissus Trump won't accept that reality.
It is clear that America's Oldest Baby did not have a clue about what exactly the powers of the president & vice president were and are. He rode the wave of support from disillusioned, disgruntled suburbanites, playing them for fools in an elaborate con game that just won't end. His marks will stand by him, oblivious to the fact that he's lied to them from the go.
It is like the Biblical story of Jacob & Esau. Their father, Isaac, meant to bestow a blessing to Esau, but Jacob deceived him, and claimed the blessing himself. In this writer's opinion, Trump did that to Pence in 2016, but, to cover his trail, offered Pence the VP position. In reality, Pence, not Trump, should've been the GOP candidate in '16 vs. Hillary Clinton. Instead, the Republicans opted for a more polarizing figure in Trump, a political neophyte with a national reputation carefully created. Over the course of the last few years, from the point of Trump declaring his candidacy in 2015, that image was irretrievably destroyed, with his repeatedly playing the race card against Latinos and his misogyny toward women. His marks didn't care. However, in 2020, Trump's intentional mismanagement of the COVID pandemic did him in, more than anything the Democrats tried against him, but Trump will never openly admit that for fear those same marks, who've already turned on him for taking the vaccines, would leave him in droves.
Had Mike Pence, the former governor of Indiana, been the GOP candidate in 2016 instead of Trump, things might be different, but he and the party gave in to the whims & wishes of a 70-something man-baby who never grew up.
