Our only problem with Mike Pence's repudiation of Benedict Donald today is that we're not sure that he represents anybody in the Republican Party anymore. The Nikki Haley voters who turned out in droves during the primaries? Yeah, we could see them mattering in the fall. But Pence? Who does he bring with him?
We're thinking, hmmm. Not really anybody. Maybe the tiny slice of evangelicals who have not sold their souls to Trump World — however many (or few) people that is. But aside from Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, we can't think of any Republican whose defiance of Donald would make a huge difference. (That said, we welcome Haley voters who might want to check that box for Biden-Harris in November.)
Unless... wait a sec. Is there a "Former Republican Vice Presidents Against Trump" club? We know one guy who would surely belong. But are any journalists planning to call Dan Quayle and ask for his opinion? We cats suggest they do, and we PURR.
