Snake
What do you mean, “we” Pompous Pence?
What was in the envelope you got at Poppy Bush’s funeral?
pathetic
I’m sure his whining will inspire his 10s of supporters.
Your campaign is dead on arrival Mike.
Pence doesn’t understand squat.
“Should the new populism of the right seize and guide our party, the Republican Party we’ve long known will cease to exist...”
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Well everybody knows what attracts flies.
