The team of Mike Pence and Donald Trump is a horrible partnership with no future.
Mike Pence will not be in government after 2016, as he was not running for reelection as Governor of Indiana, and was seen as likely to lose another term, being way behind in public opinion polls, after he signed a law limiting gay rights, which had to be changed due to business and public opposition.
Also, his anti abortion views were causing greater restrictions on a woman’s right to determine her own future in Indiana, more than in many other states.
Pence is a religious right wing freak, who puts his religion before anything else, and he fails to understand that we have separation of church and state ingrained in our political system by the Founding Fathers.
He also flirted with the Tea Party Movement in Congress in his last years in the House of Representatives before running for the Indiana Governorship in 2012.
Pence is seen by many as a potential Presidential candidate in 2020 in the wake of the Donald Trump disaster, but he is no shining star for the GOP future, and if he is, somehow, the nominee, the Republican Party would end up in a massive Electoral College defeat once again.
It is also clear that Mike Pence is uncomfortable in his role as Vice Presidential running mate, and probably thought of quitting several times, when Donald Trump contradicted him, including once in the Presidential debates, and also after the sexual abuse charges leveled against Trump by 10 women, and the Access Hollywood tape.
It seems he would have little impact on Donald Trump’s thinking or policies, were, God forbid, Trump to become President.
But Donald Trump has dug his own grave, and is taking Mike Pence and the Republican Party down with him!
Major historical events that took place at Gettysburg:
July 1-3, 1863 – Thousands of Union troops sacrificed their lives to stop the Confederacy’s invasion of the North
November 19, 1863 – President Lincoln delivers the Gettysburg Address, a rallying cry for continuing to fight for the preservation of the Union
October 22, 2016 – Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump gives a speech threatening to sue the women who have accused him of sexual assault
Yes, Rustbelt Democrat, a total disgrace, and besmirching the Civil War battle and Abraham Lincoln!
What, you don’t like The Donald’s threatening, “The Gettysburg Redress”?
No, Paul, I DON’T like it, lol! 🙂
Trump is the polar opposite of Lincoln, and today’s GOP the polar opposite of Lincoln’s GOP.
Trump ruined hallowed ground.
