Why didn’t Pence do what Trump wanted vis a vis counting the electoral votes?

Pence is too dull of a character. I think Guiliani, Powell, & Cohen has far more comedic potential.

I’d rather be represented by Howard, Howard & Fine.

Well then, you’re not a Real Republican, are you? You probably didn’t even graduate from a fake university!

But asserting a crucial and blatantly illegal role in the insurrection greatly increased the downside to Pence: it probably wouldn’t succeed, and if it failed, he would face serious jail time. So he folded his hand. That took some smarts.

Maybe not smarts. Maybe simple lack of the courage of his / Trump’s convictions. In other words, he was a Believer but not a True Believer.

When the going is easy, the easy get going. When the going is tough, the easy collapse in a heap. Pence was, is, and always will be, an easy.
