Pence is not a good choice and will give the Reagan Democrats pause.

When I heard him today, Gov. Pence sounded very forceful.

Funny you say that. Today Pence said he was a Democrat until Reagan.

Won't be surprised if many more Democrats will vote for Trump. I know several in my family. They hate Hillary!

“Pence is not a good choice and will give the Reagan Democrats pause”

Blame republicans who won’t get behind Trump. If republicans worked as hard to get Trump elected as they work to find a 3rd party or help Hilary, Trump would not have had to go far right in a running mate.

Reagan democrats are either deceased or turned full liberal. Lost cause.

As if Gingrich and Christie would not ...

Pence has low negatives and that helps with undecided and persuadable voters. It's up to him now. If he just unites the rest of the normally Republican voters around Trump/Pence it is worth it. Let Trump appeal to Reagan Democrats.

“Pence is not a good choice and will give the Reagan Democrats pause.”

You mean like Bush Sr. gave the Reagan Democrats pause back in 1980? After all they are VERY SIMILAR people.

Did you see Pence on Hannity last night? He made it clear that although he is a free trader, he agrees with Trump that our trade deals need to be renegotiated to be better for Americans. He said a great negotiator like Trump would be just the person to accomplish that. He’s not going to turn off nearly as many working-class Dems as you might think. He’s still better than Hillary on the trade issue.

Beyond that, most Reagan Dems I know are Christians who lean toward social conservatism. They are likely to find Pence attractive because of that. And, let’s face it, very few people vote for the VP anyway.

Nope. Not against Cankles.

For Pete’s sake, NO veep has made a significant difference in a race since LBJ. People do not vote veeps.

Bugger off you, all you've been doing is sowing dissension. You're either for Trump-Pence, or you're not.

If not? GTFO.

You are a political junkie like me. I get it. But you are way over analyzing. 99% of the electorate cares not a whit about the Veep pick.

You know I’ve been critical of Pence, but his interview on Hannity gave me some hope. I am also liking that he is a social conservative.

I have found something disturbing in my perusal of the Trump Reddit forum. There are a lot of independents who thought that by voting for Trump they had taken over the Republican Party establishment which they include as social conservatives. They thought they had tossed them out and shifted the party to a liberal social platform. Some bash conservative Christians and Christians with passion. They want the party to support gay marriage and abortion, and some are unsure if they will vote Republican over these issues. Those aren’t the kind of people we want to change our party. Sure, we welcome their votes, just the Democrats welcome votes from people who are pro-life or against gay marriage. They would never change their position, though. Nor should we. I think it’s imperative we stick up for God, life, and the sanctity of marriage. If picking Pence helps reiterate that, then I am really coming around to the pick.

Kindly give us your choice so we may say the same to you.

I know an elderly Reagan Democrat who will vote for Trump-Pence.

Conservative Republicans like the choice.
