I'll pretend you didn't say that.
Why, you dont say who you are for, just who you are against. I am not impressed.
Christie or Carson. A black or an Hispanic would have been a good choice.
The argument for Pence apparently is that he will appeal to social conservatives, although I really don't know why, considering what a coward he was on the religious liberty law.
Yup. He's an evangelical. Listened to him last night. Picked up the sermonizing language pretty quick.
The only reason I see for this is defensive. Trump thinks Hillary will make inroads on his womanizing. Christians may stay home in November. Pence turns out the vote. Maybe.
Maybe Pence is a neocon and the neocons demanded a seat at the table. Otherwise they'd throw the convention/election. Aka Reagan/Bush. I think it's the latter, sold as the former.
Sorry, the offering the job to someone because of their ethnicity, race, sexual preference, or whatever, needs to end. If you want politicians who do that, then you ought to be voting democrat. This pandering shit needs to end.
whatever Rush Limbaugh is that's what Pence wannabe. Empty vessel looking to be filled by highest bidder. I had the unforunate luxury of listening to him in his early talk radio days when he was learning to be right wing. If he brags about Indiana you can credit Mitch Daniels for anything good. Pence as governor is just another rollback wondering where all the cultural conservatives went.
I get your point but Christie and Carson were both more then qualified. Pence was chosen over Christie despite both being governors because the neocon wing would raise hell otherwise. It was a concession. It sews up the base but does nothing to bring independents and minorities under the tent. Why it scares me is it proves the neocon wing still wields formidable power. And they are the same sacks of shit that want open borders and free trade
But you don't like minorities. You like homogeneity.
