It should be obvious to any Republican that a Trump 2nd term is better than Biden and whoever is pulling his strings.

I thought Pence received unfair hate for Jan 6. A lot of people wanted him to toss the disputed electoral votes. If the VP had the power to unilaterally toss electoral votes, an incumbent would never lose. If Pence tried that, Congress would have voted him down and he would have lost. All the Democrats and some of the Republicans were voting to certify, enough to get a majority in both houses.
