See?

The game is to make our candidates comment on each other to generate headlines [state media will fabricate] and soften up the GOP primary field for Hillary [or ?].

A form of the "gotcha" media game.

Yep. Pence kicked every Repub, RINO, GOPE-e, even every conservative right in the butt today.

The liberals will be making this “Obama” up a story for a long time.

Pence fell right into their trap when he scheduled the press conference.

Do what the Left does—Keep moving forward, don’t look back, don’t acknowledge your adversaries or respond to their questions.

Sheesh.

Why does Scott Walker keep winning elections while advancing conservative policies? Because he doesn't play by the MSM rules. He will not be sidelined and defined by their gotcha questions -- won't hand them something to club him with.

Of course if you go to the comment section of a WKOW piece about this Pence story, the Leftists know Walker's sidestepping their trap - again - and it has these rabid activists spitting in anger.

The Left loves it when they can pit their opposition against each other by making them comment on each other.

The Washington Post played ‘gotcha’ with Scott Walker (and lost)".... Of everything they had opportunity to ask, they chose to ask Walker whether he thought Obama was a Christian. ...Walker refused to give them the answer they wanted....... And so our national press falls yet another rung in their slow, sad, descent into irrelevance. There is a silver lining though: maddening as the interview was to read, it’s abundantly clear Scott Walker will not be presshandled."

Making The News: Scott Walker And The Media"...The media isn’t interested in covering the news; they’re out to make it. Potential Republican candidates need to recognize that either have a “that’s a bullshit question”-esque answer chambered for when they come, or simply ignore them altogether.

Reporters are, at the heart of it, lazy. They get an easy narrative in their heads and try to fit the news into it. If you don’t play along, they will be forced to cover something else, like what a candidate said that matters."....

Nothing Gov. Pence said today changes the fact he advocated for and signed into law a bill that allows Indiana business to discriminate against the LGBT community under the guise of religious freedom.

Your point? It's the appropriate guise—the real face—of the freedom to decide for what purposes we choose to work. It's another way of saying this is about our freedom to discriminate between working for God and working for Satan.

Today, Pence showed us why he is not ready for primetime or the Presidency (let’s ignore what some pundits tell us ).

Someone like Newt Gingrich would probably ask a few of those who were helped by RFRA laws and invite them to come to the podium with him asking them to explain why the law was necessary for them.

Here is a list of folks Pence could have invited to come to the press conference with him:

Several of them Minorities...

Fight PR with PR man.

Pence doesn’t know how to do it.

These dolts never learn. They will never satisfy the left and its presstitutes. Yet they continually alienate their base by trying.

uh oh. i like pence (he is on my short list) but if this “fix” does anything to force Christians owning a private business back into doing forced transactions against their moral values or to go out of business to avoid going against their those values, then it is both wrong morally (i.e., it amounts to slavery) and is patently unconstitutional (violates the 1st amendment) as well. pence should have left well enough alone.

you just can’t take a stand for Jesus and the bretheren and then turn around and go back. it’s too late at that point. you’re basically finished but for the grace of God, because God will deal with you at that point. i hope pence’s actions don’t amount to “putting his hand to the plow” and then taking it off.

boy. politics can be a mine field for a believer who is not solid in the Faith.

Pence should have just told them to kiss his a$#$ and let it go at that. You can’t win with these people. If you try and make it “right” all it does is encourage this ugly mob onward to kill you.

They won’t be happy until it’s mandatory that anyone asked, participate in gay honeymoons.

YES, THAT IS what I mean!
