Tweety: "Now I see Pence...maybe forced into this..."

[Miles Archer]

No, Chris.

Pence wasn't "forced" into it.

You give him far too much credit.

Just now on "Hardball."

1. Forced? Nonsense. Pence is a co-conspirator. eom

2. He'll blame it on his mother.

After all, he can do nothing without her permission.

3. Did Charles Manson force those people to kill? They went to jail anyway Tweety.

4. Agreed Pence may act like a "goody two shoes" but he is not...at all.

Cody Johnston has a channel on YouTube "Some More News" which is a news style comedy show. He did an episode on "Draining the Swamp" which talked about the various Trump swamp creatures, but he had some interesting insights on Pence based on the premise of who had the "most to gain" from joining the administration. He highlights Pence's financial desperation and current status which indicate that Pence is not some innocent schmo who got roped into his situation. I think Pence is a stupid ideologue, but he is certainly not the upstanding Christian man he portrays himself to be.

5. Pence has plenty of his own skin in the game.

He doesn't want his puppetmaster to lose to Biden, if Biden gets the nomination, any more than Trump does, because he'll be out of a job too.

6. Manafort!

7. Kamala correct that shit right away

[Corgigal]

8. Pence knew the game,

when he agreed to get on the ticket. He does whatever Trump tells him to do. Trump doesn’t want anyone else. Manafort knew about his dilemma or he wouldn’t have picked him.

He was broke, no job lined up and under 30,000 in the bank when he was done being governor. He need government housing for mother.
