I know a lot of people saying he is a traitor, and I can understand that, but maybe he had a larger intent.
If Pence rejected the electors, we’d get Trump as a president, but we would be left with the same traitors in congress. The bullshit spin would continue, and ultimately the country would be even more divided.
But Trump and Team knows that bigger action is required. Pence explicitly said that he left it up to the electors. He had to let the actual traitors commit the crime.
Did Pence actually take one for the team? Did Pence trick Pelosi in thinking he was on her side?
I’m thinking out loud. I think the movie is just starting. Stay safe everyone.
I believe Pence is dirty. But here's a thought exercise:
It takes courage to do the right thing. vs. It takes greater courage to do nothing.
Was rejecting the contested slate of electors an out for Pence? The easier decision? Or would he take the harder path, sticking to some plan, and catch everyone in a treasonous move, including himself.
