...I can't really object to that. Mr. Sanders. <br /><br />Not having to waste time on the Trump campaign, Christie and Gingrich are now free to block bridges and step on churches in your town, respectively.<br /><br />(By the way, good movie review-related articles on your blog. Putting soundtracks in a prominent place needs to be done by more reviewers).<br />dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-75063988902908567182016-07-18T11:11:36.824-04:002016-07-18T11:11:36.824-04:00Of the 3 losers (one with a political career that&...Of the 3 losers (one with a political career that's over and 2 with political careers that are ending soon) Pence gets the rose while Gingrich an Christie are jilted.Dervish Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671865801885224353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-9019052258412246592016-07-16T14:39:47.465-04:002016-07-16T14:39:47.465-04:00IMO, unless and until you observe this weblog'...IMO, unless and until you observe this weblog's comment policy your comment posts will be deleted upon detection. <br /><br />Filthy language, name calling of other commenters, or off topic comments will not be posted.<br /><br />As it is wrll known you are a troll of the lowest order this community does not anticipate your compliance to weblog comment policy.<br /><br />Enjoy the Stench Trench and FreeThinke.

His appro...Pence is at the tail end of his career. His approval ratings in Indiana are low. He shores up Trump on the right, I suppose, but not by much. He flat-out will hurt with women. He won't win over anyone outside the far right, who are too small to make a difference this year. They could turn out in their greatest percentages yet, and it wouldn't matter. Conservatism has been on the wain since the great recession. You just can't fool that many people all of the time. The country is swerving left. In this general election, when you think about it, we do not have a Republican or a Conservative or a Conservative Republican in the race for President <em>at all</em>. We have Trump, a brand unto himself. And Clinton, the national Democratic establishment candidate. The next closest candidate in the Presidential election this cycle is an avowed Social Democrat, like a friggin' Swede!<br /><br />Trump seems to have made a mistake, but I wonder if he had a better choice. How many maverick Republicans are even left anymore? Liberal Republicans don't even exist anymore. The Paulites and conservative independents faded faster to Trump than I would have ever imagined. Turns out they just wanted something else, and libertarianism was just something else, else. So, no necessary picks for Trump there.<br /><br />He could have picked a military guy, I suppose, or a some other non-pol entirely. But who? Who wanted to be Trump's VP?<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-84749894229321392952016-07-15T19:11:51.563-04:002016-07-15T19:11:51.563-04:00I believe Pence's overall demeanor may be help...I believe Pence's overall demeanor may be helpful in bringing the more skeptical of the Evangelicals. The ones that ae concerned about Trump's volatility and total inexperience.<br /><br />I highly doubt the Evangelicals really care that Pence criminalized gay folks. For the Evangelicals homosexuality is an abomination as it goes against "Gods order of things".<br /><br />Pence is not Sara Palin and Trump is not McCain. Dynamics are different this year, in fact they are different than all previous presidential election. Even Ross Perot's bid was more viable than Trumps. That's MNHO anyway.

The GOP's platform this year is the most anti-LGBT in its history! And we all remember Pence's awful decision to criminalize gay people. Trump already had the Evangelicals, I don't see how this is any help. As we know from our history, the veep choice doesn't really do that much for the ticket.

And I assume too he did it to try and get the Evangelical vote.
