This is all inconsequential. If it were Christie it would be the bridge and his weight. If it were Newt it would be about his wife and cancer. So it's Pence. Turn to Page 12 in your attackdog playbook. Libs would say he picked an awful VP nomatter if he picked Cruz, Rice, Newt, Christie etc
No he's not going to be on exactly the same page as Trump on everything, but most VP choices have at some point been at odds or criticized the top ticket guy.
Is it a surprise that they're pushing this "Omg TRUMP WANTED TO DUMP PENCE ASAP" fable. Not really. They want to suffocate this ticket in the crib.
Reagan/Bush 80. Bush and Reagan were never at odds right?
Pence isnt going to bring the house down. People were thrilled at Ryan in 2012 and he turned out to be a total bust and impotent loser.
Pence wont hurt Trump at all. He shows that Trump respects traditional conservative values voters. He cant win without them. Will Pence get destroyed by the Lena Dunham/Rachel Maddow Sodomite Brigade? Sure. Will he be cast as a fascist bigot. Yes yes he will. But the gains Trump will make in NC and Virginia and Northern Florida and Central PA will make up for that.
Excellent post. My only slight quibble is with Ryan being a total bust, but that's it. This post says it all.
