Trump’s Running Mate: Who Is Mike Pence?

[zenkai]

I guarantee you he groveled super hard to be at Trump's Side because Indiana isn't reelecting him. He fucked up so bad and his approval numbers show it.


Well, to be fair, the two I originally linked BARELY had anything to do with my posts, I don't care that he deflected because he never responded after I linked better/different/more relevant sources.


To be fair to him, you also pointed at Indy Star like its a shit source, when it isn't, but I already brought that up in an edit.

IN is above me, I have seen their opinion pieces, that's why I don't like them

Point out the errors in the statements then.

Because I'm going to click a non legit source to get my news. I don't give a shit if they say the grass is green, im not wasting my time on a shit site.

You disregarding a source with factual information because a writer/writers did opinion pieces does not make the source irrelevant. It makes you a ear-plugging "I am not listening" whiner. I pretty clearly linked to other posts with sources backing up exactly what I said Pence did. You do not have to like the sources, but the information presented is factual, correct, and unbiased in its presentation.

This is great news. Of all the options I kept hearing this was the one I wash hoping he would make. Why? Because he is by far the most terrible person based on his views and his character as a man, and so I assume this will hurt Trump's chances of becoming President... Buuuut.... Then again.. During the Republican primaries I was hoping Trump would win (well, to be perfectly honest I was hoping Ted Cruz would win, then Trump) because he is such an authoritarian, racist, misogynistic, bigot bastard of a scum that I thought it would be virtually impossible for the Republicans to stand even the most remote of chances of winning the Presidency with such a candidate, in fact I imagined their near-extinction for the foreseeable future. Kind of regretting rooting for that now because as it stands the polls are far too close for my liking. I am finding myself constantly afraid to shit my pants over the anxiety I feel for the fate of the world. Hoping this Pence guy won't be another one of those kinds of twisted fucked up things where it turns out that people are completely utterly awful. Seriously. Brexit, Austrian Presidential election.. s, Trump, Le Pen, Geert Wilders, Al-Qaida, the Islamic State, Putin.. how long will this nightmare that is the reality of the 2010's last? Or am I the star of my own The Truman Show and the ratings are down so the writing staff decided over the last couple of years that they would seriously fuck with my mind? Are you guys all in on this?!

I'm going to wait on people who actually spent time digging up information about him before I make my decision about him, I know nothing about him. I will also ask the guys I work with who are from IN what they think of him.

Uhuh. They are simply statements of facts from both sources of his voting history. You can't prove them wrong because they are facts.

I live in Indianapolis. I live 35 Minutes away from the State House. I grew up here. I know what I linked, I know what others linked. I know it is a fallacy to use personal knowledge in an argument/debate, but you saying you get your information based on friends opinions, is also a fallacy.

like getting your opinion is also a fallacy?

Lol because an Indiana newspaper knows nothing about him am I right? And of course he doesn't have a publicly available voting record am I right?

Which is what I said, can you not read?

My Quotes from the last page and my original post still stand. Facts and Evidence have been shown. You have yet to show any for another point of view or argument.

I can read, I was reiterating if you believe your opinion is a fallacy too, you never specified you, can you not read?

I am not too sure if opinion itself can be a fallacy, but opinions cannot be fact. Opinions can effect world view, but opinions are always subservient to facts.

Trump's taking the largest asshole in the country and putting him in a position where he has no say in anything and does nothing. Why are people pissed about this? Did people want Mike Pence to keep running Indiana? Because everything I've heard is kinda the opposite.

[Seani]

I have a feeling the Young Turks aren't going to like anyone Trump picks.

[TheMediator]

I don't know what this move is supposed to do. Energizing the Bern-outs to vote against Trump I guess?

Perhaps his concern was that he wouldn't get the necessary support from the GOP leadership if he didn't sell-out? The only reason I even considered Trump worth a possible vote in the first place was because he wasn't beholden to the establishment. What makes him different, ethically, than Hillary now? At this point it's just a matter of leadership and political views and I don't think Trump is very solid on either front.

Just going to leave this right here:

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed a law this year that mandated funerals for fetuses

This theocrat could be a heartbeat from the Presidency. Or hell, if Trump just decides to quit.
Yeah, totally no difference between the Ds and the Rs.

Wow, Trump is penetrating Pence in their new logo. The irony!

VP-as-assassination-deterrent? That makes a certain level of sense.

I'm also from Indiana. I can affirm Mike Pence is a piece of shit. I mean seriously does no one remember the national headlines last year when he snuck that anti-gay law into effect and all the big companies decided to remove their offices from the state? I mean he literally costs the state billions.

[alexw]

The general idea with the VP pick is you try covering something the candidate is lacking.

I guess Mike Pence helps Trump with the evangelical vote, but it's realistically not going to expand his appeal from what I can tell. I guess having someone with executive experience behind him helps, but I'm not not seeing the benefit Trump gets from this.

I think the aim was that Trump would cover the Muslim/Mexican/women bigotry, and that with Trump being neutral towards gays, Mike Pence would cover the hatred of them.

Forgot about that, yeah that's some bullshit

I mean my Facebook has been covered in this all day lol.
