Still, Pence is far from joining other Cruz endorsers like Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in the stop-Trump movement.
He commended Trump for highlighting the Indianapolis air conditioning manufacturer Carrier’s decision to shutter its facilities there and ship 2,100 jobs to Mexico, and said Trump has “given voice to the frustration of millions of working Americans with the lack of progress in Washington, D.C.”
“Let me be very clear on this race: Whoever wins the Republican nation for president of the United States, I’m going to work my heart out to get elected this fall,” Pence said.
He did NOT endorse him. Just said he would vote for him in the primary. But I’m betting he votes for Trump. Ahhhh that secret ballot!!
Fence-straddling Pence didn’t help Cruz but made himself look silly.
But in the end cruzifer showed he had no Leadership at all. He can’t and couldn’t get anyone to FOLLOW him. See the problem!
“encouraged Hoosier voters to “make up their own minds.”
Definitely not an endorsement.
I live in Indiana, Pence is hated here, badly, he will never be a national figure.
Coward! This guy is gone any way you look at it. Typical loser,can’t figure out to put America first.
Dumb move by Governor Pence. Trump is the GOP POTUS nominee. He (Pence) will get little help uring his upcoming re-election campaign, from the GOP Party Leader, Donald J. Trump!!! This weak, man,Mike Pence is far from the sharpest knife in the drawer. Governor, Pence I hope you are manking serious plans to have Ted Cruz, his, father, Glenn Beck and Carly Fiorina campaigning with you in the fall when you try to get re-elected. Sir: somebody has tattooed “DUMMY” across yoru forehead. Good luck, with the “CRUZ Idiots” nitwit!!!
Indiana voters, support and vote for DONALD J. TRUMP, next Tuesday for the GOP, POTUS, nominee!!!
Saw Bobby Knight with Trump on CNN giving an interview. That’s 3 straight days he’s out there with him. Everybody agrees, Bobby “Trumps” Pence!!
This will have no impact. Not an endorsement.

Seems like the Club for Growth shows up in almost everyone who has super packs; lobbists and special interest groups back them....
Could this be why Pence did what he did? He was told to???
What a hoot. You tell your parents you’ve gotten engaged and you’re bringing your fiancee home to met them, and when she gets there she tells your parents that you’re “just friends.”
That is NOT an endorsement.
