Semafor: Mike Pence quietly lays the groundwork for a post-Trump future

https://www.semafor.com/article/09/26/2024/mike-pence-quietly-lays-the-groundwork-for-a-post-trump-future

"Mike Pence stuck his head up this week to take a whack at Trumpism, urging Republicans to reject “protectionist tariffs” and “isolationism” while “unashamedly” recommitting to anti-abortion positions. It’s a sign of what he’s up to behind the scenes as well.
The former vice president is laying the groundwork for a party that could move on after the election from Donald Trump’s populism and protectionism. Sometimes that means being a rare voice of public dissent, at other times it means quietly trying to recruit allies to his cause who might be more willing to join him on specific policy or political fights."

I CAN NOT WAIT until Trump is defeated so that the Democratic Party can go back to being LIBERAL and kick the neocons out of the tent.
