Newt Gingrich in a Hannity interview said that according to Gallup 75% of Americans think we are going the wrong way. He also said that if Trump can appear to be the reasonable alternative to Hillary, he will win in a landslide. Pence as his boss' representative makes Trump appear as the very reasonable alternative.

Trump is following my suggestions.
Pence’s only job in the next 3 months will be to spend time in MI, IA, WI, CO, OH, MO and PA
For the sole purpose to undo the damage Cruz did to the Midwest base.

Watching Pence in this video really shows me Trump made an excellent choice in a VP. Pence will reassure people and make Trump look very reasonable.

I”m listening to his last town hall just now.

His voice and speaking cadence and style are all such a dead ringer for Garrison Keillor that I can’t help but think of that whenever I hear him speak.

Garrison Keillor? I hope Pence’s support team was serving coffee. I would suggest espresso.

But Keillor does exactly that slow, intimate cadence and tone.

Maybe Pence needs some Powdermilk Biscuits.

Actually I think Pence’s sober steadiness is just the counterpart that Trump needs on his ticket.

(His GOPe credentials, best pal-dom with Paul Ryan, support of touchback amnesty and for TPP are other issues, however...)

Yeah—across the whole Midwest, where Trump needs to turn some swing states.

Please tell Trump I agree with your advice ;-)

Pence is the right man for this job, just hope he keeps the ‘repeal Roe vs Wade’ talk off the agenda for now. Trump is very clear in that you never tell the enemy your plans in advance, it’s as simple as that.

Hope that TRUMP will not become too much “reasonable” since the system is rigged

GO TRUMP

I hadn’t noticed it but you’re right - a Garrison Keillor you can actually like instead of just tolerate until the next music or dramatic bit comes on.

Maybe Pence should capitalize on this and invent his own “Guy Noir” type character to tell little stories about, what would the libs think!?

Mike Pence was a superb choice. I find Tim Kaine to be repellent. His looks and voice are effeminate. You always hear how “boring” both of them are, but I think Pence will come across very well in comparison to Kaine in the VP debate.

Ha ha!

And I agree—Keillor is annoying and Pence is likable.

Not a big Trump fan but, wow, did he hit it out of the park with Pence. Fantastic pick

So Trump has 2-3 rallies a day. Pence is now joining in.

What about Hillary? She does how many on an average day?

This is a must at this point in the cycle. If this happens come September/October there will be zero time to make it evaporate. No one should mistake this as supporting abortion. Sadly at this point in society and with the news media, not having the right to murder the unborn will cause moral outrage...Cannot belive I just wrote that. Wow how far we have fallen.

I'm listening to it now. My gosh, Pence is good. You're correct about that homey appealing voice being comparable to Garrison Keillor.

Trump made a smart choice. Pence's story telling skill and subtle sense of humor make for a real good team.

I really like when Pence uses that soft voice to tell engaging, sincere stories. WOW!!!
