Pence Would Literally Sell His Soul To Have Trump Ordain Him As Successor
I had to look up to see what The Daily Signal was on Wikipedia. This is where Mike Pence published “Election Integrity Is a National Imperative.” I’d expected a former Vice President to have an essay like this published in a mainstream publication. Turns out it is an online-only Heritage Foundation publication.
My hunch is that he had an audience of one in mind and didn’t publish it in a mainstream publication since whichever one he decided to chose there’d be a possibility it would piss Trump off. Even The Wall Street Journal has published stories critical of Trump. Pence needed something with the veneer of respectability so a website like Breitbart would be out. I think this is why he chose The Daily Signal.
I very much doubt it is on Donald Trump’s daily reading list so I am sure Pence sent him a copy perhaps with the suck-up points highlighted so “His Worshipped” can see how suck-uppy it was.
Does anybody have any doubt that Pence would do anything to get Trump to ordain him as the next in line to succeed him?
If the Devil, horns, hooves, tail, and all, appeared to Pence offering him Trump’s endorsement for the presidency in trade for his immortal soul he wouldn’t hesitate to sign.
Ostensibly the OpEd is supposed to explain why H.R. 1: For the People Act of 2021 is undemocratic. In reality, it is merely an excuse for Pence to interject himself into the public discourse and ingratiate himself to Trump.
Pence begins with this:
After an election marked by significant voting irregularities and numerous instances of officials setting aside state election law, I share the concerns of millions of Americans about the integrity of the 2020 election.
Here are some examples of him sucking up to Trump:
- After an election marked by significant voting irregularities and numerous instances of officials setting aside state election law, I share the concerns of millions of Americans about the integrity of the 2020 election.
- HR 1 mandates the most questionable and abuse-prone election rules nationwide while banning commonsense measures to detect, deter, and prosecute election fraud.
- Leftists not only want you powerless at the ballot box, but they also want to silence and censor anyone who would dare to criticize their unconstitutional power grab.
- To restore public confidence in our elections, our leaders should uphold the Constitution, reject congressional Democrats’ plan to nationalize our elections, and get about the serious work of state-based reform that will protect the integrity of the vote for every American.
- The American people expect us to ensure that every eligible citizen is able to vote and also make sure that their vote is not stolen or diluted through errors, mistakes, or outright fraud.
He uses the word fraud five times:

Even after 4+ years of Trump Psychosis, I’m amazed on the willingness to believe that the last election, and the one before it were massively rigged. I shouldn’t be since Western civilization has been based on fanatical adherence to demonstrably false beliefs and to enforcing those beliefs with deadly force. I simply do not think we are capable of rational behavior or critical thought.
I am tired of responding to this Republican bullshit about a fraudulent election. I believe there should be a law passed that makes it illegal to call the election illegal with substantial proof. Doing so has proven to be at least as dangerous as shouting “Fire” in a crowded theater. Enough of this crap already.
I couldn’t agree more Bill, but as we speak I’ve no doubt someone in the US is telling the Big Lie, most likely Trump himself.
