2. I bet Chris Christie is crying. Not enough butt kissing hu Governor? Lol

[farmboy]

3. You know you fumbled bad (bridgegate) when even Trump passes you by due to your error!

[SummerSnow]

5. So true.lol

[PatSeg]

22. I don't think Trump

would want a really big personality campaigning with him. Christie might upstage him.

[tonyt53]

6. Trump felt sorry for the guy. Pence was going to be out of job after November.

Trump says he is a job creator.

[Hekate]

7. Good, that means Pence is out as governor in Indiana

Is there a strong Dem running there? Any chance of flipping that office?

[ehrnst]

8. And now it can be Periods for Pence and Trump!!!

9. Political wire is saying Pence as well.

[SummerSnow]

10. Rofl...and Fox news just suspended Newts Gingrich's contract at Fox news over VP talk.

They really found a good excuse to get rid of him. Lol. Talk about putting the cart before the horse.lol

11. Shows the influence of his kids, who

reportedly were arguing for this, and will always be his closest advisors. It's all too surreal to believe.

Trump would've rather had Gingrich or Christie around him all day ... and likely got talked into this.

12. The guy that wants to force women to pay for funerals for miscarriages?

Yeah they really want the women's vote.

[hamsterjill]

19. As sad a statement as this is, it won't matter to the women who are already going to vote for Trump.

I cannot understand how a woman can vote for a Republican. In my opinion, that stems from low self-esteem.

Any woman with any sense should clearly see that the Republican party hates women, is scared to death of the few women who have become powerful, and will do anything and everything to keep women in their "place".

13. There's a black SUV parked outside Pence's residence. A CNN

reporter said believes the vehicle will likely be the one to "whisk Pence away to the airport" once he gets the word from Trump.

[Auggie]

14. He's Tea Party (n/t)

[oasis]

16. The Koch Bros. love this guy. Trump needs their help to fund

his campaign.

[underpants]

15. Damn! There goes the white guy vote!!

[NurseJackie]

17. How effective was he as a congressman? Any major accomplishments?

[NWCorona]

18. My thoughts as well

23. His odious record (from Wikipedia):

• Pence supported the joint resolution authorizing military action against Iraq.
• Opposed setting a public withdrawal date from Iraq.
• Opposed closing Guantanamo Bay
• In 2000, he opposed "any effort to recognize homosexual's as a 'discreet and insular minority' entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities."
• Said that homosexuals should not serve in the military
• Opposed the 2009 Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act, saying that Obama wanted to "advance a radical social agenda
• Opposes both same-sex marriage and civil unions.
