Why did VP Pence call former VP Quale rather than Dick Cheney on Jan 5

Cheney was VP for eight years and was in the office more recently. It's been 30 years since Quayle has been around.
So why would Pence bypass Cheney and call Quale?

Makes me wonder what Cheney might've told him if he had called.

Teabags of a feather flock together. Cheney is a different bird. A smarter bird.
Chickens get broody and cover their babies.

You think Cheney would've given Pence a different answer than Quayle?

I think Cheney's answer would have been more direct and blunt. Something along the lines of 'Of course you can't do that you fucking spineless, gutless, cowardly toady'.

I'm guessing probably because Cheney would invite him hunting.

I think Cheney would have berated him...and then invited him hunting.

I think the most alarming part of this story is that Pence was even asking. Because that means he was actually considering invalidating the election if he thought he had the authority. That's frightening. Pence is unfit for office.

No, I just think Pence and Dan would get along better. Cheney is a bit urbane stuffy and eminence gris.
Frankly I think it's a nothing burger.

Pence was asking everyone he could find so he could justify doing whatTrump wanted. He could not find a way to do what Daffy demanded. But he tried. He should have asked Bannon, Flynn, or Fox gnus. They would have told him it was legal. Pence still has political ambitions. He wants to be president. What a scary thought.

Yeah I was very disappointed when I read this. I expect very little, but I'm always looking for any sign of light.
Then to have this glimmer slammed shut... It's just depressing.

Apparently they have been buds for decades

That’s the story I heard

 

[evince]

I think Cheney would have told him to help trump

Cheney doesn’t care about this nation


He is filthy wealthy now

Another economic crash would just be a buying opportunity for him

Eastman was one of the many lawyers aiding Trump in his campaign to overturn the results of a free and fair election, and seems to have taken an integral role in the final act: stopping Congress from certifying the election results on January 6. Eastman drew up a detailed plan for Vice President Mike Pence to stop the election certification singlehandedly—for one man to wield his power in order to seize it from the people

Trump lawyer offered six-point plan for Pence to overturn election

Eastman's memo was sent to Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and that former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R), who served as one of Trump's attorneys at the time, tried to convince Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) that there was rampant fraud in the 2020 election.

It is known that Rudy and Powell knew what they were pushing in public about Dominion and voter machines was a lie. They happily did it anyway. You would think when they tossed in Venezuela and Soros, that even rightys would laugh. Instead, rightys on this board threaded it as fact. Trumpy spokesmen are so wrong, so dishonest and so bad at it, that we thought even rightys here would catch on. They did not.

I can't tell you how many righties were elated when Rudi and the Kraken woman gave their little whacko speech. They thought it was all true and that the election would be changed. Then they realized what morons they were dealing with. I mean, didn't Trump say "I know the best people". Yeah, right. Trump hitched his wagon to Giuliani, Kraken and Pillow Guy. And they all fell flat on their faces in ridicule and embarrassment. Yeah, Trump sure knows how to pick 'em. How many different SoS did he have? What about Chief of Staff? How many of those did Trump go through?
Best people, my ass. What a fucking moron. Thank God Trump is no longer president and never will be.

They are friends from the same state. Pence respects Dan Q

Well, thank God Pence respected Quayle enough to heed his advice but just the fact that Pence made the call doesn't bode well. If Quayle had said the opposite and encouraged Pence to overthrow the will of the people, where would we be now?
