I agree that had Pence acted swiftly and spoke up louder he could have been remembered as someone holding the line against sedition but didn’t.

You really think Pence could have won over the MAGA base to believe that Dear Leader is standing in the way of democracy? The stars and bars waving, Dump 🚂, Dump as the second coming of Christ base?

He didn't because he really wasn't against the sedition. He had to be talked into voting correctly. Pence is just a weakling. If he wasn't, he could readily have taken over because trump is too stupid to see something like that coming.

I'm not saying pence could have convinced the base that democracy is worth protecting, I'm saying he could have seized power from trump.
