And a lot of people still hope Cruz ends up being the nominee via treachery at the convention.If you were to look at most of the real vociferous whiners, you would realize that the majority of them don't seem to ever donate to FR and likely don't contribute a penny to any political candidate - all the while bemoaning the state of politics.
Illinois is directly adjacent to Indiana and will most certainly vote Dem.
Pence adds nothing to the ticket as far as votes go. Nothing.
If VP could bring along his state, every VP candidate would be from Florida.
The enthusiasm for Palin still left McCain a million votes short of what Romney/Ryan would get four years later.
Pence may not add much, but he also doesn’t subtract much.
I am pleased to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. News conference tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 15, 2016
Mike Wallace, being the dimwitted liberal he is, is disappointed that Trump didn’t pick a RINO like Nikki Haley or Kelly Ayotte. Said the selection of EXTREME pro-life Pence will not help Trump with woman (yes pro-abortion women), or democrats that might be thinking of voting for Trump. Ground control to Mike Wallace, you need to work for MSNBC and no VP pick has ever decided a presidential race.
And Pence is believed to have no recognition at all among Buckeyes.
What a disappointment ... Pence the choice of the RINOs imposed on enthusiastic Trump supporters that will cause loss of enthusiasm ... Pence a mixture of Dan Quayle and Joe Biden and Baghdad Bob... a has been who never was... A man who has NO IDENTITY with the huge number of Trump Supporters ... Pence will become a NET NEGATIVE for Trump and will signal the creeping control of the Republican Establishment Elite over Trumps policies and even his speeches ....
The idiocy of the Pence Amnesty Ploy... Mike Pence proposed an Amnesty Sell Out that would have required the illegal aliens to just Step out of the U.S. and then immediately Step back into the U.S. Out new VP ... What a fricken disappointment ...
Our attention must now turn to the Pence Ploy—the alleged “compromise” miraculously proposed at the last minute by Congressman Mike Pence and widely whooped-up as a way of outflanking immigration patriots in the House.

Two days before the United States Senate passed S.2611, Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) delivered a speech on immigration policy at the Heritage Foundation. Pence offered what he called a “middle ground” proposal, a “no amnesty immigration reform” in which “securing our border is the first step.” [Renewing the American Dream: The Real Rational Middle Ground on Immigration Reform, May 23, 2006]
The timing of Pence`s speech and his position as chairman of the House Republican Study Committee combined to get his proposal the maximum media attention. So, what is the “middle ground” Pence wants to occupy?
Pence is / would be a idiotic disappointment ... Pence is a budding Republican Establishment minion... Pence is PRO AMNESTY... Pence is a nobody ... Pence is a flip flopper has been who never was...
Vdare, eh?
