Mike Pence may have the title, but insiders in Washington and Indiana where he served as governor, believe that Karen Pence rules the roost and is the 'real VP.'
In fact, any hesitation by the Trump team in tapping Pence for VP revolved around the power held by the woman he calls 'Mother.'
Pence became Donald Trump's pick for Vice President by playing hard to get when the future president shouted at him: 'I need killers! Do you want this thing or not?'
Pence calmly told Trump it 'doesn't matter' if he chose him and that if he wanted an 'attack dog' he had the wrong guy.
Trump had asked Pence while sitting over breakfast in Indiana in June 2016, why he was bothering being in the race if that was his attitude. Pence simply replied: 'You're in my home, you tell me'.
Trump said 'wow' and was impressed by the indifference that Pence showed to him.
By acting like he didn't want the job, Pence ensured that Trump was desperate to have him, writes Tom LoBianco, a former Associated Press reporter who covered Pence while he was governor of Indiana.

I think somebody wants him off the ticket.
The country is becoming socially libertine at breakneck speed. A squeaky clean traditional values guy is actually becoming a liability, sad to say.
I call B.S.
Not on you RummyChick, on the original author.
He’s indifferent alright. Remember the hostile actors when Pence showed up at the Hamilton play? He didn’t give a rat’s arse what they were saying to him, he just did it..
Frankly, she doesnt look like the type. But stranger things have happened
Fake news, fake assumptions.
Again, they have nothing else.
My impression is that Karen Pence has kept a very low profile.
The Associated Press? I’d believe Pravda or Hitler’s Ministry of Propaganda first.
The author is a former AP writer. The Associated Press is extremely biased and has so much power to spread the news.
Total fiction.
Liberals, you can’t live with them and you can’t live
with them. You’d think they’d be happy with a powerful
woman behind the VP. but Noooooo.
Karen, his computer wife?
I dont know about the whole story..but I do believe this:
“In his upcoming biography Piety & Power: Mike Pence and the Taking of the White House, LoBianco writes this was classic Pence: looking like a nice guy on the outside but inside being a ruthless and ambitious political operator. “
Losers haven’t figured out yet that NONE of this inside-baseball crap is true. You just get sucked in by the Fake News Media every time.
writes Tom LoBianco, a former Associated Press reporter...................
This so-called “news” article seems to be based on “unnamed sources”.
I would be surprised if there is anything FACTUAL in it.
My version:
Liberals, you cant live with them and you cant shoot them..................
I also call BS on this story.
MSM GOP VP bashing.
Cheney, Quaile, Ford.
Most people don’t know but Ford was a genuine war hero.
He saved his ship during “Halsey’s Typhoon”
I hope she sues the eff out of them. And wins. Just like Melania. This crap is just lies cut from whole cloth just to stir things up.
