Every comment that I've seen from a woman here about a possible Pence presidency stated that he's boring or something else to that effect.

Abstract:

This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.

What crap. Woman's suffrage has nothing to do with Pence not being able to make it to the presidency on his own. Trump made it because of his refusal to mitigate his point of view or bow to pc-ism unlike his opponents.

Pence went to Hamilton where they humiliated him from the stage and he gave a mealy-mouthed little response later. I don't like his obsequious manner. That said, if he was the Republican nominee, I would vote for him. Wouldn't be my first choice.

I will say that he made a good opponent to the oily and awful Tim Kaine during the debates. For that I salute him.
