Mike Pence cancels N.J. Trump fundraiser scheduled for Monday in Ocean County

Source: Newark Star-Ledger

TRENTON — Donald Trump's running mate Mike Pence has canceled his planned visit to New Jersey scheduled for Monday, several GOP sources tell NJ Advance Media.

Pence, the governor of Indiana, was scheduled to appear at a fundraiser in Toms River hosted by the Ocean County Republican Organization. The sources who said Pence won't be showing requested anonymity because they are not directly connected to the Trump campaign.

Entry to the Pence event required a $50 contribution and was limited to 250 people.

The cancellation comes on the heels of an explosive video of Trump boasting of a failed attempt to seduce a married woman and claiming that his celebrity status allowed him to grab women by their genitalia with impunity.

of Pence's flight.

Assuming Pence is on a charter, that WOULDN'T cover the flight.

And that's probably why he cancelled. They probably couldn't get any serious money donors.

There had been speculation that Pence would drop out tonight, he seemed to erase that with his congratulatory tweet to tRump. ( Of course he reinforced the notion that he's delusional by congratulating tRump for winning.)

He will only appear on behalf of down ballot candidates where they are in trouble.

His 2020 vision tells him in hindsight he should never have joined if he wants to challenge in that year.

Another Religious freak who thinks all of us, all of the stars and planets, the whole universe is only 6000 or so years old. Thanks to carbon dating that is provably seriously wrong but that doesn't cut any ice with folks like Pence....which makes him a moron.
