You may have noticed a couple of really popular posts: Pence is Toast (currently #1 as of Thursday July 20 @ 7AM) and A Few Thoughts on Mike Pence and His Lack of Concern for the United States. Both posts commentate on Tucker’s recent interview of Pence in Iowa where Pence famously said, in response to a question about his obsession with Ukraine, that America’s deteriorating cities are not his concern:
But tell me what is the difference on the issue of Ukraine between Pence and Nikki Haley? Or Pence and DeSantis? Or Pence and Tim Scott? As far as I can tell every GOP candidate for President, with the possible exception of Trump, will continue to fund Zelensky. In other words, Pence just said out loud the part that you aren’t supposed to say out loud. Kudos to Tucker for getting Pence to do so.
As for Trump, as best I can tell, he is going to tell Zelensky that he has a deadline to negotiate a deal with Putin, and that he will cut Zelensky off if he fails to meet the deadline. Simultaneously, he is going to tell Putin that he will give him a lot of money, if he makes a deal. Perhaps this doesn’t sound all that sophisticated, but it’s better than continuing to give Zelensky a blank check, which apparently every other GOP candidate would do.
