Hence my concern. However, we have people here who support Trump who literally get made if anyone raises any concerns whatsoever.
Ivanka would be completely loyal and supportive of all Trump policies. A perfect team.
For me, Pence adds no excitement. I don’t love him, but I don’t hate him either. The thinking with Pence, per CNN, is that he tosses out a line to social conservatives and party establishment types (CNN laughably cites Paul Ryan) who doubt Trump is conservative. Will he excite the party brass into accepting Trump? It remains to be seen. Honestly, I don’t think Trump has to get the full party brass behind him. He ran as anti-establishment, and that is a drawing card.
Someone posted to me that Pence vetoed the Religious Freedom thing because he was afraid it would go to the Supreme Court and become another Roe vs. Wade type case. I don’t know enough to know whether or not that is true. I just remember being disappointed and shocked when he vetoed.
Christie is a flaming gun-grabber! Conservatives would stay home if Trump picked him.
Pence is the sane choice.
Gingrich would have been wiser. Maybe Pence, like Bush I, is the price for GOPe support.
One can hope. :-)
It’s interesting because I’ve never wished for you to get zotted.
I never do anything zottable. :-)
Neither do I obviously.
Well fortunately I don’t make those weighty decisions. :-)
I think I’d like to know what I’ve done that a) makes you hate me so much that you want me banned from this forum and b) is zottable to you but not the mods.
Can’t see what you posted. It’s showing up as two little blocks.
Still showing up as two black boxes.
And you don’t know what was said in his talks with Trump
Alex Jones is not my go to source for anything
I remember Papa Bush disagreed with Reagan (BIG TIME) yet he fell into line.
That’s true. His mind may have shifted. I don’t know.
I can unfortunately see Hillary getting some ad material out of these things like using Pence quote about the Muslim ban saying something like, “See, even his own VP said it was terrible.” That said, Trump has seemed to indicate his focus won’t be all Muslims but will be banning people from countries with a lot of terrorism.
Another thing Hillary will use is that Pence voted for Iraq war. Trump loves to attack Hillary for voting for the Iraq war. She’ll call him a hypocrite for attacking her and picking a VP that did the same thing she did.
I don’t know how many moderates these attacks will convince. Obviously there are some flexible people in the center because the poll numbers have shifted from Hillary to Trump and could easily shift back and forth throughout this campaign.
I wasn’t around then, but that’s good to know.
I’m not overly concerned about the VP, so have been half hardheadedly following it. I’m in for DJT no matter what. I like Newt. Some valid concerns about Pence after reading your post. I’m a big southeast 2nd amendment guy. It’s basically a litmus test for me. In most cases, how vigorously someone defends the 2nd, the more I’m inclined to trust them on other issues that are important. That a problem I have with Christy. I don’t know that I trust him on the 2nd. Someone might say, well Trummp said xxxx about guns a decade ago..., yea, but his son’s are strong 2nd amendment/hunting supporters and I sincerely think they’ve got him right on the 2nd. And he’s deomonstraited that he’s willing to take their lead on that topic.
