This does seems like a bit of a ruse to dilute the Ted Cruz vote and maybe slip in a RINO instead.
Uhhh...he was a congressman for about 12 years so there is a clear track record, and it’s a good one.
I like Ted Cruz but I think Pence is perfect compromise candidate.
He’s held a lot of elective offices and doesn’t have the stench of loser written all over him.
And he’s the right fit for a country tired of 8 years of Obama.
From Wikipedia:
His Committee assignments in the U.S. House included: Foreign Affairs, Subcommittee on Middle East and South Asia (Vice Chair), Judiciary, Subcommittee on the Constitution (Vice Chair), and Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition, and the Internet. While in Congress he belonged to the Congressional Internet Caucus, International Conservation Caucus, Sportsmen's Caucus, and the Tea Party Caucus.
Hello Granny....Mike Pence was in the House for YEARS!!! geesh....
Go to the Indiana site at www.ontheissues.org and click on Pence’s link. He definitely has conservative bonafides.
Absolutely. 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.
Cruz has stated clearly and repeatedly: He thinks Obamacare should be totally repealed, tossed out on its ear.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!
What? First of all, Presidents don't vote, they administrate, like Governors.
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.
Mike Pence is a RINO
