Uh No He won’t be the nominee. I doubt he will even run.

Really. Pence tested the waters back about 10 years or so ago. I recall little about him except that I didn't like him. I believe he is a "moderate" which is why the Palin-hater is sucking up to him.

Do we really want another governor as candidate with great credentialsAbsolutely. If for no other reason than that governors make significantly better candidates for POTUS, because governor is the office least unlike the presidency. There has never been an incumbent POTUS defeated for re-election by anyone other than a governor - and Warren G. Harding was the last, and only, senator to defeat a governor in an open-seat presidential election. There have been only a few sitting VPs elected to the presidency - none of whom served as VP under mediocre presidents. The last two such presidents were Andrew Jackson and Ronald Reagan.

I’ve mentioned several times that my top tier choices are (in no particular order) Cruz, Palin, Santorum, Jindal, and Pence. Just yesterday I posted: “I think that Pence may emerge as the ultimate choice.” I still think that, but I would be happy with any of the five.

A little too thoughtful. It makes the BS meter jump.

Do we really want another governor as candidate with great credentials but no track record of how he/she would vote in DC? Cruz has stated clearly and repeatedly: He thinks Obamacare should be totally repealed, tossed out on its ear.
I read/skimmed the piece on Pence, most of which is façade with little true informative value. Its approach is to say somebody is something, with zero reference as to how that somebody is something. I didn't see one reference to Pence's stand on Romney/Obama Care.
Honestly, the things articles leave out tell you as much or more than what they leave in!

He’s my gov. While he’s better than most Republicans, he’s still a Rick Perry kinda politician.
Get rid of Common Core? No, just change the name. The state requirements are nearly identical to common core.
It’s kinda like Val’s trick of renaming something to make the problem go away. Turn-backs become deportations, combat becomes kinetic action, Al qeada becomes Khoreson.

Rick Perry for Homeland Security Dept head
Ted Cruz for Attorney General

Second of all, Pence spent 12 years in Congress, he had a conservative voting record.
He's definitely one of the better choices being mentioned.

Pence sold out to big government in about 2006 and sold out to socialism last year.

Are you still anti Mike Pence? Just wondering because I really liked him in the past and he seems to fit my criteria for what we need in a presidential candidate. Found the below and it seems to agree that Pence would be a good candidate. As to immigration, I wonder if Pence has changed his mind a bit, or changed his plan in light of changes over these past number of years?

Years back I was all for Mike Pence but he pretty much vanished from the scene for too long. He was too busy being a successful governor of an important Midwest state.
