One thing I learned in my professional life is that you should ignore anything a politician says at a convention or conference. They know elwhat any given audience wants to hear, and they just say that.
As I tell my family, anyone can read a speech that someone else wrote.
I thought of that too, in watching Pence address the youth... they could not have had a finer introduction to politics than that backstabbing that Pence demonstrated for them.
Should make future events all the more interesting ?
