Easy win for Pence.
Has he not learned anything from his boss?
NEVER APOLOGIZE!!!

He folded like a cheap suit on that gay pizza wedding thing.
But he’s done ok so far. I think
The lamestream media has spent more time on this issue in a few days than they have on Tara Reade over the past 40 days.
Big deal. Making a mountain out of a mole hill. That’s the press these days.
They give him crap over one thing and he caves. Trump has yet to cave.

Nikki Haley rejoices!
BE A MAN!
