Good grief....put down the crack pipe and step away.

Your delusion is only exceeded by your refusal to address the questions I posed.

Why are you defending pence, a longtime swamper?

Why are you defending pence, BFF with Swamper Lyin’ Ryan?

Schiff’s Tuesday witness, Molly Montgomery, is another Deep State plant who was removed from the White House with ties to whistleblower Eric Ciaramella and George Soros.

Why did Pence get an “envelope” at GHWB’s funeral?

Sidestepping questions is such a leftist thing...

More sedition & treason from pence’s inner circle that HE CHOSE...from Sara Carter

https://saraacarter.com/vp-adviser-and-nsc-staffer-confirm-problematic-ukraine-call-during-testimony/

An adviser to Vice President Mike Pence told House impeachment investigators this month that President Trump’s request for Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to open an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his family “struck me as unusual and inappropriate”

These “witnesses” are irrelevant! The transcript was released! They received their aid!

The only one who denied the Ukraine aid was the Kenyan!

That’s an opinion and nothing more.

As i have said from the first before Trump was sworn in, he is clueless to the presidential personnel process and ways of the swamp. Not having a career in politics he had no Rolodex of trusted aides with wide expertise. He managed to install the worst presidential personnel selection process in the modern era.

His inexperience brought it down all on himself.

Sorry and flame suit on, but Pence is a stiff and needs to go. We want a fighter.

Would love to see the data. Is your statement intended to be exact or hyperbole. You should probably adjust for the fact that Trump is entitled to more than 10 times the appointments as Pence and that since Pence’s appointments do not need Senate approval, he might have had a greater ability to avoid Never Trumpers.

The whole Pence sucking up to the Clintons thing at the funeral made me sick. That was right after I learned about the Pence/Ryan cabal emails before the election.

You are opposing the conservative President we finally got elected. You enhance your personal self esteem by whining about your perception of a lack of conservative purity in the Presidents Vice President and very strong right arm.

Your whining is detrimental to the President and to the conservative effort. Your whining actually enhances the Progressives

You are the purist conservative equivalent of Hillary Clinton in not accepting the reality of the Trump Presidency and of his vice President

The Ukrainian president and foreign minister say there was no pressure.

It is never inappropriate to investigate criminals.
That is what the democrats are upset about as they are the criminals.

“Pence’s penchant for having Never Trumpers in prominent staff positions has always undermined his protestations of loyalty to Trump and his agenda.”

I agree. Pence should be replaced on the ticket by a solid conservative who is every bit as American First on trade and pro-sovereignty on border issues and immigration as is Trump.

What gets lost in all of this is that, even if everything the Democrats say that Donald Trump did is true — everything — there’s not a single thing wrong with it or out of his prerogative as president... Nothing.

EXACTLY CORRECT, and that is the only defense that stands a chance in this environment.

Re: “Is your statement intended to be exact or hyperbole.”

Neither - Trump appoints more than 3,000 jobs - so, “hundreds” of times more than Pence.

Trump has appointed, retained, or promoted hundreds of Obama’s people.

Until a couple months ago, every Inspector General at the State Department, Justice, FBI, CIA, Intelligence Community, EPA, and Homeland Security was appointed by Obama.

Trump's personnel policy is so depraved I have no idea how to describe it.

Considering your passion and seeming expertise, I’m sure Trump could use your help. Those of us who are inclined to criticize without doing anything constructive about the subject of our complaint (including me) would do well to remember Teddy Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” quote:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

I have a much better quote from zeestephen....

“If Conservatives do not hold Trump's feet to the political fire, who will?”

Trump is not, and never has been, a Conservative.

However, I voted for Trump in 2016, and I will vote to reelect Trump in 2020, but only because he is the most “Conservative” candidate who has a chance to win the election.

By the way, the Republican Party started moving Left when Teddy Roosevelt became President in 1901.

Except for Calvin Coolidge and Reagan's first term, the GOP has been moving Left ever since.
