Unless he was put behind bars and prevented from running (both, not just one), wouldn't have made a woof of difference.

15. The Sneate could have barred the felon from running again and likely would have if Pence had testified about Jan 6

Public pressure would have been too great and they could not hide behind the lies that these were DEMOCRAT TRAITORS if Pence had honestly testified.

Prevented from running would mean that he would be in jail.

... no credit is due. What special credit do you get for doing what you are supposed to be doing every damn day? Jan 6 was just another day on the calendar for Pence. He earned his pay, not a backpat. This isn't t-ball, we don't give out participation trophies,

That's exactly what you get credit for. You can do two things, the right or the wrong. The logic doesn't really work if you're saying no credit when you do the right thing.
