In Iowa Pence says he's 'had enough' of Biden

Former Vice President Mike Pence crisscrossed Iowa on Friday, assailing President Joe Biden's administration for unleashing "a tidal wave of left-wing policies that threaten to wipe out all the progress that we made" in speeches that could preview his potential 2024 message.

The trip to the first presidential nominating state offered a window into how Pence is attempting to craft a political future outside the shadow of former President Donald Trump.

Despite four years of loyalty, Pence has drawn the ire of the GOP's pro-Trump base over his refusal to heed Trump's wishes and attempt -- without any legal mechanism to do so -- to thwart the counting of some states' electoral votes on January 6.

But in front of friendly audiences, he received warm receptions as he dipped his toes into the early-state campaign waters -- flipping burgers in Sioux Center and drawing cheers from a socially conservative crowd that included longtime allies in Des Moines.

Elections have consequences Mikey boy. If you don't like it here there are plenty who will pay for your plane ticket out of here. May I suggest Russia. They're mostly white, claim to be Christian and like you they hate gays.

at the expense of the rest of us. That's the only thing they passed while MF45 was president. Tax cuts for the rich. They care about nothing else.

Not never. No matter what you say or do.

Matter of fact it is my belief they'd rather hang you than vote for you.

Magats, still a big influence in the republican party with their continued loyalty to trump, hate him. They wanted hang him on Jan. 6.

Good luck with all that Pence. I'm sure that all the families who just received checks from the government for each child feel "tired of Biden" too.

Not.

I also credit Biden with unleashing "a tidal wave of left-wing policies that threaten to wipe out all the progress that [they] made".

And not a moment too soon, thank god! Kudos to Mike for giving credit where credit is due!

history, he'll never rise up to be a serious challenge. But I do wonder, what does he know about rump being that he and others seem to have seen, about rump, that rump himself won't run in 2024? Is rump that incompetent, that mental? Maybe the white stuff that rump is stuffing up his nose finally burrowed a hole into what little remains of rump's brain?

May that "tidal wave" wash your so-called "progress" so far into oblivion, it will never be seen again.
