Love it! Great picture
Billy, is that you...and are you movin’ out?
Tried movin' up, didn't have any luck. Just like mamma said.
Ha! Just drove by there the other day. First time in years. I grew up in Wood-Ridge.
If something happened to trump, do you think Pence would fight terrorists? I kind of see him going the way of establishment.
I don’t have much faith in Pence, being that I’ve seen him in (in)action here in Indiana.
Fundraisers like the Koch Brothers who did everything in the power to stop Trump? The same ones that have promoted Pence for the past few years? Did Trump really do his homework?
Indiana governor, Mike Pence, might be a long shot candidate for the presidency as of 2014, but with the Koch brothers support he is sure to make a big splash in the 2016 presidential election.
Mike Pence attended a recent off-the-record New York dinner party that was hosted by the conservative magazine The American Spectator. Pence was seated with David Koch. Kochs family foundation is one of the largest donors to The American Spectator, which operates as a 501(c) 3 non-profit. Other people seated at the table included Conservative anti- tax czar, Grover Norquist and Thomas Lehrman, the co-founder of the Gerson Lehrman Group and a former George W. Bush administration appointee.
Pence has been shoring up his Conservative credentials by canning the Common Core in Indiana and giving Reagan-like speeches where he espouses the virtues of Conservatism.
We must demand that renewed Republican leadership permanently reduce the size and scope of the federal government by restoring to the states and to the people those resources and responsibilities that are rightfully theirs under the Constitution of the United States, he stated recently.
Pence stated firmly his feelings on big government, Its impossible to read the Constitution of the United States without understanding it as a document of a limited federal government that contemplates that there would be those responsibilities and resourcesand those functions of governmentmany of which would be best administered at the state level. He specifically cited education, welfare and transportation as the areas to cut federal spending.
It seems as the Koch Brothers my have found their man in Pence. Recently, Matt Lloyd, a longtime spokesman for Pence during his time in Congress, was recently hired by Koch Industries as their communications director in Washington. The Kochs gave Pence $200,000 for his 2012 governors race, and the Koch-backed Americans For Prosperity fought Indiana House Republicans last year when Pences proposed income tax cut ran into opposition.
Being a neighbor governor, Iowans will give Mike Pence a long look, but if he brings the kind of negative, big money advertising from 501s that come with the Koch Brothers candidates, he will find it hard to win the the hearts of the down-to-earth Iowans or the 2016 Iowa Caucus. Trump barely knows him Even Sessions would have been a better and more loyal pick. Will still vote for Trump, but Pence seems to be close to all the people who have tried everything in their power to try and stop Trump. Is it Manafort's influence? Something seems off. Trump barely knows Pence.

Mike Pence endorses lying Ted Cruz - CNNPolitics.com - CNN.com Gov. Mike Pence's tweet bashing Trump's proposed Muslim ban resurfaces:
Governor Mike Pence ✔ @GovPence
Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.

Hope Trump isn't getting played by the Rinos. Again, Pence is very close to the Bush family and Jeb Bush. And the Kochs, and he endorsed Cruz .
Love Newt, but would have preferred Sessions over Pence. More will likely surface. Manafort was really pushing Pence. Hmmmm, wonder why?
Bendix Diner. Still there and the home of “Rosie’s Diner” from the Bounty commercials.
Yeah, and he utterly failed to stand up to the homo-nazis. Call me worried.
We had a great breakfast at the Bendix last November with an aircraft crew. Old fashioned classic NJ diner. Wonderful french toast.
Trump is expected to formally call Pence Thursday afternoon, CBS News Major Garrett reported, citing a GOP official close to the process.So as soon as the Donald begins bringing the GOPe into his circle, his tightly controlled campaign message begins leaking like a sieve.
Trump said on Greta tonight that he hasn’t made his final decision yet.
Have you ever picked your feet in Poughkeepsie?
(Name that movie, Steely!)
Any word on when the Cinderella announcement will occur?
That line was spoken by Popeye Doyle, played by Gene Hackman.
See this comment, from three months ago.
Why? Were your opinions instrumental in his success to date?
Pence, if actually chosen, may not be the end-all for many, but he is the type that will broaden the base vs. narrowing it. Decent man who would add "balance" to those who are intimidated by Trump's manliness.
I have reevaluated my suggestion, studied up on exactly who this guy is and his record and now rescind my suggestion . I trust Mr. Trump’s judgement and decision .
