Donald Trump 's running mate Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Saturday told a group of GOP donors that he remains fully committed to the Republican nominee despite growing pressure from some party leaders to have Trump step down from from the ticket.
Governor Pence spoke enthusiastically about Mr. Trump, his pro-growth economic policies and the movement hes begun, said Marty Obst, the director of the campaign's vice presidential operations, as reported first by the Wall Street Journal.
Obst added the donors were more concerned with policy than they were with Trump's statements from 2005.
Several guests remarked that they didnt want to get caught up trying to dissect every statement by Mr. Trump, he said. They were focused instead on his message and his positions.
Several top Republicans have expressed outrage after a newly released tape showed Trump making lewd comments about women.
Some, including former presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, went as far as to suggest that Pence should replace Trump at the top of the Republican ticket.
Trump and Pence will be a great team for the country when elected.
Why wouldn’t he stick with Trump?
Was this ever really in doubt? I sure hope not.
Some, including former presidential candidate Carly Fiorina, went as far as to suggest that Pence should replace Trump at the top of the Republican ticket.
Hasn’t she done that from the start? I remember her saying a whole lot about him WAY before this.
Hey GOPe, #### ###. Oh, and take the LSM (now including Fox News) with you!
You do know you are only hurting yourselves, not Trump, right?
Probably not. You are just not that smart.
TRUMP / PENCE!!!!
It was not. The Dems, GOPe, and LSM (but I repeat myself) tried to create a meme that he would.
It failed.
I saw some remarks late yesterday that Gov. Pence may not be happy, I would guess from libs or even establishment trying to start rumors.
Pence has seen the crowds at the rallies.
He knows his name would be Cruz if he abandoned Trump.
Pence is a good man.
Trump”s comments. as bad as they were, are not illegal. Destroying Hillary’s emails and lying under oath are illegal. So is covering up sexual abuse.
Bump!
F iorina
Several GOPe turncoats have openly suggested that Pence be given the top spot. This talk will not be put to rest until we get a Shermanesque statement from Pence. “Fully committed” is language the GOPe can easily dismiss. He can’t even appear to leave the door open for it. (Flame if you must.)
Who listens to Carly Fiorina???
Oh yeah, Carly Fiorina does...That’s about it....
This is bigger than Trump. Hillary being elected will hurt this country forever.
Because what we just experienced was a coup attempt by the backstabbing globalist elite who will do anything to prevent a Trump presidency. They probably tried to tempt Pence with the opportunity to have ultimate power.
It does seem that Pence is truly a good Christian. With him at Trump's side, there will be an influence that changes the tone. They're a perfect team, and having Pence there should answer a lot of those who have legitimate concerns about Mr. Trump's often colorful language.
I think we can convince enough people to pull off a victory. Sanders supporters can't be serious about voting for hillary, after all that was done to eliminate them. Then there's the argument that hillary is the favored candidate of the backstabbing globalist elitists. And now, with all of them abandoning the party's nominee, Trump is a de facto third party candidate who can get to DC, make coalitions, and get things done.
Here are the 2 problems:
How does Trump win the undecideds who intend to vote?
How does Trump get his embarrassed supporters to turn out?
Nothing else matters. We are correct about the Clintons immorality. Now we are led by the nose by the Clintons/media into talking about tired old personal matters.
But being right is irrelevant if Trump doesnt win. It is never the most qualified candidate that wins, it is the best campaigner that wins.
Trump has outworked Hillary at every turn but is now sidetracked over loser personal matters.
Trump needs to offer a better vision of the future about borders, Supreme Court, tax reform, security, and jobs. And....personalize that vision.
Thats it, 5 points, no more. Hammer them home, talk about nothing else.
Pence proving to be a strong one so far.
I’m so tired of hearing about Carly Fiorina. Or couldabeen VP Fiorina. She had her chance, she made a terrible candidate for POTUS and was no better in her brief role as candidate for VPOTUS.
