knowing nothing about this 'mike pence', i did a standard wikipedia inquiry.

"In 2000, Pence stated "Congress should oppose any effort to recognize homosexual's [sic] as a discreet [sic] and insular minority entitled to the protection of anti-discrimination laws similar to those extended to women and ethnic minorities."[45] He called for "an audit to ensure that federal dollars were no longer being given to organizations that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus" and instead advocated that resources be directed towards conversion therapy programs"

"Pence opposes both same-sex marriage and civil unions.[52] While in the House, he said that "societal collapse was always brought about following an advent of the deterioration of marriage and family".[53] He has advocated a constitutional same-sex marriage ban but did not champion such a proposed ban for his first year as governor.[54]"


this guy is so fucking out of touch that it's incredible. i knew trump was stupid, but this doesn't seem like the best way to get more voters out for him.

Think about it this way:

TRUMP IS A REPUBLICAN, but as someone who has had a couple failed marriages etc, he has alienated himself from his party's base of "trv conservatives" and the evangelical right.

This is how he panders to and hopefully win that demo.

I just don't get why he needs to pander to the religious right. Yeah, Trump is definitely not their cup of tea, but wouldn't they vote for him over Shrillary anyway?

Hopefully he puts Newt as Chief of Staff -- let's face it, that position has more power than VP anyway.

hillary is awful. i will not be casting a vote this year for either side.

playing the religion card was a mistake for trump. he lost the LGBTQ vote completely today with this choice, regardless of if he lured any of them in prior.

not to mention, pence is an overall fucking dickhead.







clinton will be president and we'll all be fucked and suffer more NSA monitoring than ever before. end of story. if anyone disputes this, i'll eat crow once the official vote is in if i am wrong.

btw say goodbye to your 'assault style weapons' (lol) someone should start a thread about that whole thing in and of itself cause i think i have some strong talking points on it.
