Donald has made small gaffes. This is his 1st big one and I anticipate he and the Gov will not be getting along soon. He had the chance to select a well known, vetted, and welll liked people. He MAY have just given away the election.

I would not be concerned, after the Dog and Pony show* of the last seven years
anyone with common sense that truly will not support Lying Crooked Hillary because
of her pathological disorder, it's a non issue especially after the last 48hrs.

No Republicans or Independents were like "You know, I wasn't sure about McCain but then Obama picked Biden and now OH MY GOD I HAVE TO VOTE AGAINST BIDEN AT ALL COSTS." Heh. But Palin, and now potentially Pence, sure did/will have that effect on Democrats and left-leaning independents.
A left leaning independent is already going to vote for the democrat. They are independent only because it sounds good.

I guess the Republican party figured Donnie would definitely sew up the evangelical and fundie vote by selecting Pence. Not only is he anti-abortion, and anti-LGBT, he's also anti-evolution. He's hits all of the religious right buttons for sure.

That's not the point. The point is Hillary was having issues with her base supporting her. Her poll numbers were dropping, a size able amount of Bernie voters didn't trust her, independents increasingly didn't trust her and were looking at alternatives. Now those people have may have renewed motivation to vote for her anyway out of fear.

Default Dr. Carson Weighs In

I have always valued Dr. Carson's opinion and agree that Pence will "fill in a lot of gaps for Trump":

Or they will vote for the independent. BTW, what are they afraid of? Pence can't pass any laws and what his personal beliefs are, are irrelevant as the VP. Also, there is a Congress which will never (and rightly so) allow any of his far right wacko ideas be put into place. Think about it. As Hillary says "what difference does it make?".
Don't fall for the fear mongering.

I really do not think that baby killing and sexual preference is going to be an
issue, mostly based on the last 48hrs

Lying Crooked Hillary is a huge security risk, unless you support someone who clearly
has a pathological disorder

Strangely enough, many do.

He will. It's amusing watching the left work themselves into a lather about this guy. He's probably the most boring politician in public life, and Democrats are going all out to poison the political waters to help their corrupt, damaged candidate.
