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.

While they said Pence was vetted for his past, it doesn't appear his team vetted Pence as it relates to everyone who was trying to get rid of Trump during the primaries. Pence is very close to Jeb Bush. Wonder if Pence would leak things to his Rino friends about Trump. Pence doesnt appear to have been vetted very well and you must know the liberal media will use this type of information from now until the election.

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. Koch’s 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, “It’s 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 resources—and those functions of government—many 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 governor’s race, and the Koch-backed Americans For Prosperity fought Indiana House Republicans last year when Pence’s 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 501’s 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.

7:30 AM - 8 Dec 2015

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?

the state-run mass media in America is going to come at them with every trick, every slander, every joke, every humiliation they can think of.

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.

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.

The French Connection.

That line was spoken by Popeye Doyle, played by Gene Hackman.

See this comment, from three months ago.

write Trump’s Facebook page and ask him to NOT select Pence

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.

That right there is the problem.

I'm voting for Trump because I don't want the gope anymore.
