I don’t know Pence. You may be on to something though with Trump intentionally throwing off the press. After all, does Trump like or respect “the press?” I’d say that’s a big no. Does Trump know how to use (and have a history of using) the press and publicity? I’d call that a big yes. So I won’t believe any rumors good, bad, or otherwise until they are no-longer rumors.
Pence is a RINO in my opinion. He was a Senator or Congressman, can’t remember, that’s how memorable he was. I think he only served 1 term before running for Governor. Everyone here in the state is saying he’ll get beat by Greg (the mustache). Pence hacked off the teachers big time. Said he was against Common Core and then replaced it with the Indiana version of common core. It sucks too.
