On an ordinary calendar, there are four seasons. On a Republican political calendar, there are only two: book season—when members of former administrations demonstrate their willingness to call out their ex-bosses in hopes of making a bestseller list—and election season. That second one is when, like the swallows returning to Capistrano, Republican critics of Donald Trump flutter back to stand dopily at his side.
The seasons are definitely changing. In the past week, several of those who have been ranging across the media landscape as Trump’s biggest critics have come limping back into camp. What may be most eye-rolling is not just the cowardice they’re displaying, but the way some are putting a cherry on top by trying to sneak back in without even saying Trump’s name. And at the very peak of the chart has to be the man who has the biggest reason to stick to his guns in opposing Trump.
Reporter: You have said that you’re not endorsing Donald Trump, you also have not ruled out voting for him. Why not?
Mike Pence: Well, I’ll just keep my vote to myself. You know I would never vote for Joe Biden.
