“Make it a good one, Strap . . . “

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Pence

Mike Pence was born in Columbus, Indiana, one of 6 children of Nancy Jane and Edward J. Pence, Jr., who ran a gas station. His family were Irish Catholic democrats. Pence graduated from Columbus North High School in 1977 . . . he earned a B.A. in History from Hanover College in 1981 and a J.D. from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1986.
  • Pence was a cosponsor of H.J.Res.73, which would limit federal spending to "the average annual revenue collected in the 3 prior years, adjusted in proportion to changes in population and inflation.
  • Pence is a supporter of earmark reform. He voted against the $140B transportation-treasury spending bill in June 2006, and in favor of a series of amendments that would strip earmarks from the federal budget.
  • In June 2006, Pence unveiled a plan consisting of increased border security, followed by strict enforcement of laws against hiring illegal aliens, and a guest worker program. This guest worker program requires potential participants to apply from their home country to government-approved job placement agencies that match workers with employers who cannot find Americans for the job.
  • Pence has said that homosexuals should not serve in the military, saying "Homosexuality is incompatible with military service because it weakens unit cohesion", and opposes both same-sex marriage and civil unions. He has referred to Harvard sociologist Pitirim Sorokin's findings that throughout history, societal collapse was brought about by the deterioration of marriage and family.
I’m intrigued by Pence's attempts at tax and spending reform. I’m not enthused about rescinding rights for some americans. You can do better, Mr. Trump. Or is this the price the RNC is extracting of you for their financial support in the general election campaign?

Reader Quiz – The top photo is from what film? And what does it have to do with Pence and Indiana?

the fact that Trump is attracting/considering mainstream, ultra conservative republicans shows the OPPOSITE, probably. At the beginning of the primaries conservatives vilified Trump as a RINO, former democrat, and espousing pro-gay views.

my objection to Pence is that his views on gay marriage and abortion are likely to become a constant distraction from more important economic, spending, and foreign policy issues.

I think Pence as GOP VP nominee comes from the "Do No Harm" school of thought. Also,from those who have announced that they are not interested in the VP slot and/or not attending the RNC Convention,it appears that the number of qualified persons who are interested in the VP slot is very limited. Btw,I think that post title is one of your better ones.

interesting idea. however, when you pick a guy who fronts with anti-gay views, rather then economic or job policies, is this ACTUALLY "do no harm"?

Trump needs an energetic campaigner and quick wit for the inevitable veep debates (possibly against warren). That would appear to be Gingrich, although I'm not sure if he helps much in swing states.
 
Trump's advisers and family want Pence....He is typical stern to the letter conservative....Who will have to twist and turn to fall in line with the crazy stuff Trump has touted....White christian conservatives in the Red States will be happy...but can he get independents and moderate whites in the Midwest to Vote Trump.............Doubtful

I think of Pence as a "Do Less Harm" VP nominee than Gingrich. In his energeticness, Newt can be a loose cannon at times. Putting Trump and Newt together sure does take "family values" off the table too.
