Just to be clear. Pence only suspended his campaign.

[LiberalFighter]

Probably financial related.

1. He decided there's no sense "hanging" around at the back of the pack. Lol. n/t

[ificandream]

2. "Suspending" is the graceful way to say "I quit" if you're a candidate.

[ificandream]

3. And the chances of him coming back in the race ....

are 20,000 to 1.

[LiberalFighter]

10. Only 20,000 to 1?

I would think winning the lottery odds would be more likely.

4. Mike who?

[RandySF]

5. The campaign is in debt. He'll raise money to pay it off.

[LiberalFighter]

12. How long will that take?

Maybe he should hock his mansion.

6. No candidate "ends" their campaign...

They "suspend" so they can keep collecting money to pay off their bills.

[themaguffin]

7. All campaigns that end, "suspend" their campaigns. They don't "end" them.

[RockRaven]

8. If someone dropped a huge pile of cash on him, he'd be back in tomorrow.

But who would do that? What would be the point? Pence offers nothing that a dark money funder person can't find almost anywhere else, with less "loser" or "MAGA-traitor" baggage.

9. Candidates rarely announce they're ending their campaign or dropping out

His campaign is over

[Xavier Breath]

11. Done like a dinner. n/t

[LetMyPeopleVote]

13. May we never see Pence again

14. they always say suspended... it means he's toast.

[Bucky]

15. "Suspending my campaign" is what *everyone* calls quitting the race

He's out. Bank on it.

If you're hoping for a long shot to get the nomination, put your eyeballs on Nikki Haley. I still think there's a fair chance that Trump's legal problems between now and March will force him out of the race.

If that happens it comes down to Governor Chirpy and Governor Grumpy, and I don't see DeSantis picking up a lot of steam.

16. No one ever ends their campaign.

Legally it is a mistake to do that. If they suspend it they can continue to raise money to pay off debts. If they formally end it they can't.

[senseandsensibility]

17. Always wishy washy

about everything. He'll end up campaigning for cheato.

[JI7]

18. I think using the term suspended allows them to keep trying to raise money

to pay off debts .

[struggle4progress]

19. He's just hanging his campaign up by its neck for a while

[Arthur_Frain]

20. Oh come on.

Given his last photo op apparently at the CVS pharmacy, the writing’s on the wall.
