In a speech to the Young Americas Foundation’s national student conference in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, former Vice President Mike Pence addressed his relationship with Donald Trump.
“There seems to be a divide between the two of you on your outlook on what the future of the conservative movement might be,” a student said to Pence during a Q&A session. “Do you think that this divide extends to the rest of the conservative movement, like the general public? And what do you think we can do to alleviate it?”
“I don’t know that our movement is that divided,” Pence responded. “I don’t know that the president and I differ on issues. But we may differ on focus. I truly do believe that elections are about the future, and that is absolutely essential at a time when so many Americans are hurting.”
Pence said that he’s proud to have worked as vice president under Trump, but said that Republicans should be looking toward the future, not relitigating the past.
“I truly do believe that elections are about the future, and that it is absolutely essential at a time when so many Americans are hurting, so many families are struggling, that we don’t give way to the temptation to look back,” Pence said. “But I think the time has come for us to offer a bold, positive agenda to bring America back.”

Looking “backwards”?! – What a שוטה.
Without real elections there’s zero future on any other front.
Hey genius, do you realize why Americans are hurting? – all because of the election!
Pence, is like a coin it rolls and then disappears….just like its entrance….byby Pence
Pence has no focus…..Trump has had focus since he was a child….it is his gift having awareness to what is needed……Pence……I wouldn’t doubt if all the things said are true….but then who cares….Pence and Glad Bags are out of style
Crying about spilled milk. I agree with Pence. If people say you are drunk, lie down.
This man is a real mentch and unfortunately, because of that he stands no chance to be elected. To be electable, one needs to be a self-promoting, dishonest, attention-grabbing politician. I’m surprised he was even elected a governor except that in his part of the country they may have more appreciation for a mentch than on the coasts.
They certainly differ on focus. Trump’s only focus is on the election that he lost while Pence in a doomed attempt at the White House focuses on policy.
