here in Indiana that much. He would be lucky to win his actual re-election bid this cycle, and that is probably the reason he has thrust himself into the limelight. By law, he cannot run for both positions, and the deadline for filing in the Governor's race is just a few days away. That he wants it so badly he would attach himself to an albatross like Trump is telling, and is illustrative of his personality and motives. He fouled his entire first term at every direction. If he were vetted nationally with a critical eye to what actual Hoosiers think of him, he should further sink Trump's ship. That he likely won't be fully vetted scares the living shit out of me. Prior to being Governor he was my representative. Before that he was a radio show host and erstwhile buffoon- think Limbaugh, Hannity, etc...

The reality is that unless the democrats field strong candidates

they lose to people like Pence.

I don't think Indiana is an isolated case.

We will be able to get at him like a rabid dog. This notion that he is an "intellectual" is a joke. He can be taken down...easily.

Clicking on it to find out Trump might be exposing an old shriveled d*ck.

So you think he would pick up the ones not yet for Trump because they don't really believe that Trump is a "real" Christian Conservative.

Some say Pence would galvanize GLBT to vote against the GOP ticket.

but his oppo research is ripe for the picking. We would never get the evangelicals anyway...his hard line approach will scare the hell out of the demographics we need.
