Just when you think Mike Pence has hit rock bottom, he goes and proves he can go even lower. He recently delivered a speech that not only undermines Trump’s ‘America First’ agenda and its focus on the working class, but also promotes the failed establishment politics that most Republicans have been rejecting for almost a decade. It’s a clear reminder of how disconnected he really is.

The Washington Times did a write up on Monday highlighting the speech Pence delivered today.

Former Vice President Mike Pence will deliver a “major” speech Wednesday in New Hampshire that challenges Republican voters to choose between populism and core conservative values.

The speech is an attempt by Mr. Pence to appeal to traditional GOP voters while taking a thinly veiled swipe at his former boss, former President Donald Trump, who rode to the White House in 2016 with a populist brand that focused on ordinary Americans and their complaints about Washington power brokers and other elites.

“The speech will explore the threats of populism unmoored from conservative principles,” while defining “the choice ahead for both the Republican Party and the nation,” the Pence campaign said.

However, the actual speech was even more unsettling than most had though, and it smacked of the Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan “That’s Not Who We Are” nonsense that’s landed us in this mess we’re in.

The Hill:

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday laid out the stakes in the 2024 GOP primary as a battle between populism and traditional conservatism.

Pence, speaking in New Hampshire, cast himself as a candidate in the mold of former President Reagan and warned that the party risked abandoning its decades-old policy views and principles if it elected his old running mate, Donald Trump, or someone like him.

“Republican voters face a choice. It will determine both the fate of our party, and the course of our nation,” Pence said at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College, according to prepared remarks.

“Today, I ask my fellow Republicans this: In the days to come, will we be the party of conservatism or will our party follow the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles?” he added, suggesting the divide between the two is “unbridgeable.”

The former vice president’s speech reflects the broader battle playing out in the Republican primary between populist outsider candidates such as Trump and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and more traditionally conservative GOP figures like Pence, who is also a former congressman and Indiana governor.

As if that weren’t enough, this smug charlatan then took to Fox News to further disparage the populist movement. And in a show of pure petty disrespect, Pence then referred to President Trump as his “former running mate.” All this while President Trump is beating Pence by a staggering 60 percentage points in the polls.

One essential point to keep in mind is that there isn’t actually a “primary race” happening. President Trump has already secured such a commanding lead that he’s poised to trigger the “winner-take-all” rule come Super Tuesday. So, Fox News featuring long shots like Pence as if they stand any chance just shows what a shameless propaganda network they are. Once this is over, Pence and other establishment hacks will be relegated to the dustbin of history, right where they belong.
