Trump picks Pence!!

[oreo]

There is one thing about the Reich Wing of the Republican party. They have this insatiable appetite for chasing off large voting blocks.

In 2012 it was the largest voting block in this country, Women. They decided to make their platform about a 45 year old, already settled U.S. Supreme court decision, abortion, & turn it into politics. That then went into who's not going to pay for birth control pills, that then went into what is legal-legitimate rape questions, that sent women running into Obama's column by double digits, younger women by 36 points which is what secured a 2nd term for Barack Obama. Mitt Romney's fate was sealed long before he even became the nominee.

In 2016 it's Hispanics. Now another 17% of the population or 23 million of them are solidly in Hillary Clinton's column.

Trump is in very serious trouble with women already, so Pence is just icing on the cake.Hillary Clinton's got a great new ad coming out, & it will be about Pence and his extreme abortion stance.

Not too familiar with the guy. Going to have to do some reading.

This selection should hand the Governor's race to Democrat John Gregg. He rode Mitch Daniels coattails into office barely beating Mr. Gregg the first time round. They are pretty much tied right now, with many of Governor Pence's top donors now supporting his opponent.

Economically he has been an okay leader. Unemployment in Indiana has stayed at or below the national average. Most of his successes in this area are due more to his predecessor, Mitch Daniels, than anything else. He hasn't done much to address the wage gap either. While new jobs have been added, many don't really pay that well. Luckily, the low cost of living helps alleviate that problem. Outside of urban areas conditions are still rather bleak economically. While his regional economic councils, tax cuts, and repeal of the inheritance tax were good ideas in my opinion, the property tax cap from 2010 is still strangling the budgets of smaller / rural communities while the state is running surpluses.

Instead of focusing his attention on more important economic matters Governor Pence and some in the state legislature are content with passing abortion and religious freedom laws that most people don't want. Repeatedly warned about the negative impact of these laws he sided with a rapidly shrinking socially conservative population and signed them anyway, only to have them rewritten or declared unconstitutional. Then there is the state run news agency he tried to create. Obviously that didn't go over too well. His fight with the state education agency and the attempt to bypass Superintendent Glenda Ritz is another matter of contention. Lately, the legislature has been stomping on the right of local communities to govern themselves by passing state encompassing laws to shut down ideas they are opposed to before they get started (guns, plastic bags, certain taxes etc). Finally, at a time when when many states were relaxing marijuana laws or decriminalizing, then Representative Pence, took campaign donations from the prison industry and subsequently strengthened already strict marijuana laws into draconian sentences for offenders.

Fiscally, Governor Pence was an average leader. Middle of the road in my opinion. He kept the ship afloat. It's the social issues where he really fails. They overshadow everything else because they come at the expense of everything else. This may be appealing to a national constituency as a President or Vice President but is not to an Indiana that tends to lean fiscally conservative and socially moderate; but then Governor Pence has always been looking to use Indiana as a springboard to national office since he left Congress.

Pence would never appeal to the largest voting block--(women) with that extreme of an abortion stance. There is no candidate today that can win a national election if they don't give the 3 exceptions--(life of the mother, rape and incest.) And with Pence trying to rewrite the U.S. Constitution, it is certain to be played up by Democrats.

Reich wingers should have learned that over the loss in 2012. The Republican party has an insatiable appetite for chasing off large voting blocks, which makes it impossible to win the Presidency.
