No, because it’s not what I asked.

I will try to make this simple for you.

Pence said “Well, there might be someone else I’d prefer more.”

David Pakman and Farron Cousins have mentally added " … and that person is me" to the statement.

Question: when Pence said the words “someone else” did he mean himself?

**You** haven’t answered the question. **Chronos** hasn’t answered the question. **Steve\_MB** didn’t answer the question. **Kenobi\_65** didn’t answer the question. **pullykamel** answered, but just said “yes” and gave no basis for the answer.
