For the record, I wanted Sessions as VP or Santorum. Only one was under consideration, so Sessions was my pick. I’m not saying that Pence will be a weight on the ticket. I just think it will be easier for Trump if someone is in full agreement with his goals.
Sessions is my top pick by far, but the stuff he said about the KKK and calling a black man “boy” is far more explosive than anything Pence has said. The race thing is the MSM’s red meat right now. I can see the headlines: “Trump finally finds someone more racist than himself!”
