Actually as a governor if you go look at Pence's record in Indiana he successfully governed the state as a technocrat - effectively balancing the budget, reducing taxes, building businesses, improving roads and education while staying out of social issues in governance.
So remember how cons were asking where's the fire on collusion?

On infrastructure, Pence began improving the state’s roads only after an emergency repair of the Interstate 65 bridge led to a month-long traffic problem and caused a political liability, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. Political ads attacked Pence for saving money in the state’s reserves at the expense of underfunding the state’s infrastructure.
Pence then proposed a plan to improve roads “that relied on borrowing, drawing down state reserves and accounting gimmicks to reach an advertised $1 billion sticker price,” the Star Tribune reported. “In the end, he got just a fraction of that after Indiana’s Republican-controlled Legislature balked. And much of the money set aside for local governments came from local taxes held in state reserves that were already supposed to be returned.”

I don’t expect Pelosi will run for prez.
Pence is in up to his eyeballs in obstruction of justice.
Let’s make America like Indiana said no one ever.
Except everyone in Indiana.
"During Pence's tenure, Indiana led the Midwest on nearly every economic metric save wage growth. The state scored the best job-creation numbers of any of its Midwestern neighbors. Pence signed into law the largest income tax cut in state history. (The cut, which brought the rate to 3.23 percent in January, was an olive branch from lawmakers to Pence and phased in over several years." - https://www.chicagobusiness.com/art...-pence-govern-his-indiana-record-offers-clues
Here is what most people in Indiana are hoping for (liberals not so much)...
Using your same source and key metric, the Democrat controlled promised land and mecca of California is DEAD LAST! California is how the rest of America should model itself after right? https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/california
I dunno. I looked at the entire quality of life list. What the hell are they using to measure that metric? Did you see the top ones?
I live in Indiana, and while I'm not going to argue that the quality of life here is top tier, it sure as hell beats North and South Dakota. Who the hell thinks living there is top quality? Lets look at opportunity and fiscal stability as the more important factors and Indiana is near the top.
