Respectfully disagree. His campaign seems watered down, at least in the appearances I have seen. He needs to dump his handlers. Let Trump be Trump. Also, he needs to reduce the use of his hands when giving speeches and comments. Just too much of it. It has become distracting. Pence is a poor choice IMHO, not a powerful enough presence. Sigh.
You have to remember that during primary season you go for the base of your party. In the general, you go for those who sit on the fence.
At this stage, to save the nation, we need courage and stability, along with leaders with a history of accomplishment. Trump/Pence together does that, wonderfully so.
You want TWO Alpha males?
TWO 'bad' cops?
Disrespectfully disagree.
The core of Trump's message ab initio was bringing more jobs back to US equals full employment equals wage inflation.
The intervening nonsense - the ISIS hydra, as the fruits of Bobo's labor - is not 'Trump being Trump'.
Trump being Trump is 'Watch me, I am the Greatest Negotiator, Democrat globalist corporatism has reached its nadir, I will rectify this on Day One.'
Pence is a reaffirmation of the nexus of Trump's true campaign - he made Indiana great again faster than most states after the Great Recession; ergo, I, Trump, will make the US great again in luxurious, Trumptastic fashion -- with some portfolio guidance from Mr. Indiana.
On that, Pence is the perfect pick.
On the true measure - who gets to ride AF2 to foreign funerals and visit nursing homes and preside over a very close 51-49ish Senate, it's also damn near the perfect pick.
The more I hear the more I like the Pence pick, and I liked it already since the runners up (Fat CC, Newt, and a democrat General) make me sick.
Trump is powerful presence, he doesn’t need that in a running mate. He needs the conservative base and Washington exp., and Pence provides that.
