So, anybody? Who's Mike Pence and what is he like?

"..., says (unnamed) source."

As with any politician, actions speak louder than words. If you want to research Mike Pence, you might want to see how he votes on issues.

He hates President Obama and LGBTQ.
He passed a law supporting discrimination.
His attempt at a government news organization reeked of Communist control of media.
He's repeatedly tried to block the resettling of immigrants in his state.

He's a perfect fit for the party of hate.

LGBTQ.

That thing just keeps getting longer.

The more you know, the more hilarious this guy gets. I can see why he is, in fact, a good vp choice for Trump.

Ya, he's a bad guy because he tries to control the media unlike our current POTUS. Oh wait... never mind. "So how is it that 38 major journalistic organizations have signed on to a letter to the White House complaining about the way the Administration has twisted and manipulated the news?"

And how dare that Pence guy not want to permit Middle Eastern refugees in his state when they weren't vetted by the State Department, Homeland Security or ICE.

[normiss 622]

It's laughable when a judge has to tell a Governor how to do his job.
They were vetted by the way.

Why does Pence hate the constitution of his own country?

Nice unbiased source you got there.

Possibly because of the way the discrimination of citizens has been growing exponentially.

No. Pretty much any political blogging site with the words, "examiner.com" in it is simply composed of articles written for click bait and political spin. Virtually anyone can be an "examiner.com" writer. It doesn't mean they're journalists. It specifically doesn't mean they have to be accurate or unbiased in any way, shape, or form.

Perhaps this will lend a helping hand to the naïve and mentally challenged.

I was only commenting on the veracity of the site you linked and your question about whether it should be considered credible.

Damn goal posts are quick in here sometimes.
I could have sworn we were discussing Gov. Pence.

[billvon 2,406]

>I could have sworn we were discussing Gov. Pence.

To get back to that, comment on this from the White House spokesperson after being asked about it:

"I know that Gov. Pence did do some important work with the administration to expand Medicaid in his state. That’s something President Obama has been encouraging Democratic and Republican governors across the country to do." When asked if he thought Pence would make a good VP, he said he would "leave it to the individual candidates to determine who they believe would best complement their skills and could lead their party."

This is amusing;
Ann Coulter (who likes Trump), does not like Pence: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ann-coulter-mike-pence_us_5787d62ee4b0867123e0438d

>Ann Coulter (who likes Trump), does not like Pence . . .

And says it would be "Trump's first mistake." Only Ann Coulter could think that.
