Why Mike Pence?

Says the ordinary retard...in other words he is a bible thumping retardUh, because he's the polar opposite of the Donald could be why...
Mike Pence became a born-again Christian in college, and has lived a personal life consistent with his devout faith for almost four decades since becoming an evangelical. He and his wife Karen study the Bible, pray regularly, and regularly attend church.
Pence frequently quotes the Bible in his speeches, showcasing his deep personal knowledge of the Scriptures from decades of devotional reading, and evincing the fact that biblical principles inform both his public and private life. At his inauguration as Indiana governor, Pence invited Keith and Kristyn Getty—singers whose worship music is wildly popular in evangelical circles—to provide the music at a worship service and prayer meeting before Pence’s swearing-in.
Mike and Karen Pence have been faithfully married for 30 years, and by all accounts have an ideal marriage, deeply caring for each other and their three children. Their life paints a Norman Rockwell-type picture of a close, wholesome traditional family and domestic life that hearkened to a bygone era, one that millions of Americans would like to see again.
Pence would help energize America’s Christian community, connecting with tens of millions of Americans who feel under siege to such an extent that many now speak of a War on Christianity in America, a war that Trump has acknowledged by name and promised to fight.
He would also appeal to older voters, which is ironic given that Pence is much younger than Trump, insofar as Pence embodies an image of a national figure that millions of elderly and late-middle-age voters have trusted for much of their life. Pollsters keep talking about the youth vote, but in doing so have lost sight of the reality that older voters turn out on Election Day is far greater numbers, and can easily decide a presidential election.
Observant Christians have been sharply divided on Trump. Putting one of their own on the ticket could excite millions of American evangelicals, and millions of senior citizens as well.

On my arrival in the United States the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention; and the longer I stayed there, the more I perceived the great political consequences resulting from this new state of things. In France I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom marching in opposite directions. But in America I found they were intimately united and that they reigned in common over the same country. My desire to discover the causes of this phenomenon increased from day to day. In order to satisfy it I questioned the members of all the different sects; I sought especially the society of the clergy, who are the depositaries of the different creeds and are especially interested in their duration. As a member of the Roman Catholic Church, I was more particularly brought into contact with several of its priests, with whom I became intimately acquainted. To each of these men I expressed my astonishment and explained my doubts. I found that they differed upon matters of detail alone, and that they all attributed the peaceful dominion of religion in their country mainly to the separation of church and state. I do not hesitate to affirm that during my stay in America I did not meet a single individual, of the clergy or the laity, who was not of the same opinion on this point.

Actually, that is a myth. Most wars that have been waged has had absolutely nothing to do with religion. Research it.

The Court argued that the Constitution's First, Fourth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual's "zone of privacy" against state laws...
The Court argued that prenatal life was not within the definition of "persons" as used and protected in the U.S. Constitution and that America's criminal and civil laws only sometimes regard fetuses as persons...
The Court ruled that the states were forbidden from outlawing or regulating any aspect of abortion performed during the first trimester of pregnancy, could only enact abortion regulations reasonably related to maternal health in the second and third trimesters, and could enact abortion laws protecting the life of the fetus only in the third trimester.

I don't know enough about Mike Pence to say he is fake or genuine.
However, by mixing religion and politics, evangelicals are the agents of their own destruction. They will one day look back and see they invited the devil into their home.

He supports unborn babies. So do I. That does not make a religious nut. That makes him a compassionate human being.

More hate expelled via the sheer unmatched ignorance of the American Indian who's tribe surrendered at the first shot and has claimed "victim" status ever since. Must have been short a dog or two in their month ration of government handout of foodstuffs this month.

Nothing is more perverted than quoting Bible passages to make a mockery of it....you better start thinking about Eternity because it lasts a long, long, time.
I'm not fond of the guy, but he would have delivered Ohio and brought in many moderate independents nation wide. Bringing him into the fold would have also helped eliminate some distractions at the convention.

All I'm saying is if you're so fired up about the guy being an Evangelical a lot of other things probably piss you off too. Why walk through the world pissed-off about things that don't knock on your door?
