Mike Pence Quietly Establishes Himself As The Leader Of The Conservative Movement

conservative leaders at vp residence

Back during the 2016 Republican National Convention I said that after his acceptance speech then-vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence had become the de facto leader of the conservative movement.

Pence’s steady performance during the 2016 campaign only served to convince me that I was right, as he steadily and solidly shored-up candidate Donald Trump’s right flank during the often-chaotic days of the campaign.


Now, some of my conservative friends are going to speak-up at this point and say, “But Richard, Pence was silent when this or that issue hit the front page.”

Or some other friend is going to pipe-up and ask me what kind of “leadership” is it when Vice President Pence didn’t publicly disagree with the President on some issue where President Trump deviated from the four corners of our conservative agenda.

And someone else will point-out that the Vice President hasn’t joined us in our justifiable frustration with the lack of legislative progress on the conservative agenda and hasn’t publicly criticized the failures of the Republican leadership on Capitol Hill.





• Position (a hole in the marketplace)

• Differentiation

• Benefit

• Brand (it’s what makes you singular or unique)


In 1964 Reagan was a fresh face, different from the Old Right conservatives. Probably his greatest benefit when compared to other potential candidates was his skill as a communicator, which made him electable; and his position, differentiation, and benefit established his brand, and his days on TV and in the movies had made it trusted.


Through Reagan’s leadership we conservatives won a historic victory in 1980, and we were anxious to get everything done at once.

It didn’t happen that way, and we were often frustrated.

That ain't the way I heered it!

I respect Mr. Viguerie's role in Reagan's rise, but Veep Pence is no Reagan! He rolled over like a coward when Indiana's righteous pro marriage law was threatened by a Globasocialist and homosexual boycott. The man's just not a fighter. Even US Grant who was a drunk--was a fighter whom Lincoln refused to fire. Reagan fired the air traffic controllers who went on strike; remember that gutsy move! Pence would have wrung his hands like a wimp and called for some heartfelt talks, like another Jimmy Carter the sweater wearing coward. Don't make so much of supposedly valuable political bridge building and palavering cos it really just leads to more RINOism.

Vice President Mike Pence and the Conservative Movement

Conservatives will remain committed to our Republican conservative principles because of great conservatives including, President Ronald Wilson
Reagan, Barry Goldwater, and Phyllis Schafly. whose conservative principles and legacy paved the way for the modern era of conservatism which will forever remain fresh in our minds and that we will not let the
Democrats subvert our freedoms with their European Socialist style liberal left wing ideology and policies that violates the U.S. Constitution.
Conservatives will never waver because the grass root movement is unbreakable with modern era legendary conservatives including Senator Rand Paul, Senator Ted Cruz, Senator Tim Scott, Governor Sarah Palin, Hon. Condoleeza Rice, and Ret. Lt. Col Allen West to name a few.
Vice President Mike Pence and President Donald J. Trump are an asset to the modern era of the conservative movement and conservatives must pull them through with their efforts to make the conservative movement even more powerful to the end.
