The Indiana governor and culture warrior would balance the ticket with a twice-divorced, proud philanderer at the top -- except he legalized discrimination against LGBT people with a law so extreme other GOP states rejected it.
In choosing Mike Pence as his running mate, Donald Trump has shored up the GOP's religious base. But based on the Indiana governor's disastrous run-in with pro-business Republicans and moderates last year over gay rights, Trump may have just lost the election.

Unlike Newt Gingrich and Chris Christie, Pence has been a right-wing culture warrior for his entire career. As Samantha Allen detailed at The Daily Beast recently, Pence has been so outspoken in his anti-abortion politics that he even spawned a hashtagged backlash among women, #periodsforpence. Pence has walked the talk for years, pushing through one of the nation’s most restrictive anti-abortion laws and voting to defund Planned Parenthood years before it was cool to do so.

But the LGBT issue has been a different story.
When Pence turned against the LGBT community last year, pushing through a "Religious Freedom Restoration Act," or RFRA, that allowed businesses to turn away gay customers, enabled corporations to deny insurance coverage to LGBT people (and women), and, more broadly, was accurately interpreted as a gift to the anti-gay fringe of the Christian Right (such as the lobbyists who stood behind Pence when he signed the law), the business community rebelled.
The reason wasn't altruism, but capitalism. In the furor over Indiana's RFRA, the state lost 12 large conventions, an estimated $60 million in business, and an untold number of businesses choosing to locate elsewhere, with the Hoosier State rebranded as the Hater State.

Didn’t Gingrich cheat on his wife when she was very ill?
Sounds like all of his writing is a work of fiction.
Didn’t Gingrich cheat on his wife when she was very ill?
In other words, he hold the view that virtually everyone else has held up until the very tiny sliver of recent history. “Extreme!”
