Seeing as how I am only passingly familiar with Pence and have no idea who Thune is and I am politically plugged in, you have a big mountain to climb...
I am not saying we need Jeb -- I am saying we need realpoltik..
There are two other men that I really like: Duncan Hunter in CA, and Inhofe in OK.
“Seeing as how I am only passingly familiar with Pence and have no idea who Thune is and I am politically plugged in...”
How many politically plugged in people had never heard of Barak Obama three years ago? How many had never heard of Bill Clinton when he was gov. of Ark. Or Palin? Or even Bush, pere, before he was veep?
In this new media age you can go from complete obscurity to household name in a day.
Mike Pence (as I remember) spearheaded that GREAT Republican “sit-in” back a couple years ago, when the dems were ready to run off to “vacation”.....without voting on..was it amnesty???
I’m gettin’ old and can’t keep up with the daily assault on us by this administration and Bush’s attack on us via amnesty a couple of summers back...
Mike Pence and many other Republicans stood their ground in CONGRESS, while the dems grabbed their water-wings and ran off to vacation—the Republicans gained a great deal of respect that week, as I remember it.
Mike Pence MAY have made a name for himself, then...but no one seems to remember it.....GAD!
Keep him in mind....and research him...he may not be “soiled” yet.
