Indiana Gov. Mike Pence delivered a lukewarm endorsement of Ted Cruz on an Indiana radio show Friday morning where he strongly praised Donald Trump for giving "a voice to the frustration of millions of working Americans." He also said he was "grateful" for Trump bringing attention to Carrier outsourcing. Pence's remarks on WIBC-FM:

Sounds like he is willing to throw his vote away but not his whole political career.
“Cruz was just DAMNED with faint praise. Anybody seeing what I’m seeing”
Yep. “I’m going with Cruz because the money says so but I really want to endorse Trump.” That’s what I heard.
Faint praise indeed. Most of the emotion was gratitude for what Trump has done for Indiana. The mention of his planning to vote for Cruz was almost a throw-away aside. If this is the best Cruz can scrape together for Tuesday he’s clearly toast.
This isn’t rocket science. Pence is a strong conservative and he’s endorsing the most conservative candidate in the primary and that is Ted Cruz.
That is the way I took it. I’m voting for Cruz but really like Trump.
I read a politician straddling a broken fence. Pence would have been better off keeping his mouth shut.
He should have just said that his vote was a private thing, and that he would not be making that public. Instead, it sounded like an endorsement for Trump, with a twist to Cruz.
sounds like a hostage of the GOPe
Sure sounds like someone has dirty pictures of Pence in compromising positions, and he’s being blackmailed to endorse Cruz.
There seems to be a cadre of Republican debutantes who screw and have sexual relations with multiple Republican men and then use those sexual relations to blackmail themselves into cushy jobs and very large payoffs.
One of them works for Carly Fiorina.. Helped her get 500,000.00 recently.
And they all seem to know each other quite well and they network professionally. They are today’s version of palace courtesans.... Political whores.
Men who can’t keep it zipped within the Republican Party are all subject to blackmail by the association of courtesans. And we are seeing that play out politically right in front of our eyes.
At the proper moment Hillary and the uni party will use whatever they can to destroy whoever they choose. Whoever they can get their hands on to destroy.... Sexually exploited conservative candidates.
"The tone of this Mike Pence endorsement should be familiar to anyone who's ordered Coke and been asked, "Is Pepsi okay?"
You are one of the most deluded Trumpsters on here.
Nonsense.
The linked video only shows the first part of the conversation where Pence says that he likes Trump. But if you look at the full video, it shows pence praising Cruz and explaining why he's voting for him.
No.
It's faint praise because the link doesn't show the part of the clip where Pence IS praising Cruz.
Go look at the full clip that I have linked in my other post.
Disappointing, Pence trying to have it both ways, but I suppose he’s got GOP pressures. It looks like he made it clear it was like kissing his sister.
...nonsense...
Apparently you missed my post 19.
“The story only printed 1/2 of the story. The second half of the “endorsement” is lavish Ted praise from the governor”
