Read Hillary's twitter. It is breathtaking how fast they are tweeting about Pence.

Clinton camp: Trump VP pick is 'divisive,' 'unpopular' | TheHill

This has to be one of the dumbest reactions to a VP pick I've ever seen. Usually the Clinton's are much more on point message-wise. Mike Pence divisive and unpopular? Ridiculous. Gingrich or Christie maybe, but most people have no idea who Mike Pence is, what his policies, or even what he looks like.

Sound like the negative polls are causing panic in the Clinton camp.
Today's polls actually looked pretty good for Clinton.

The country is already divided. Governors who attempt to pass laws allowing discrimination and running state news organizations serve to exacerbate those divisions.

Ha ha! Does it really matter WHO he picked?
I mean really.
No matter who he picked the Democrats would find something to bag on.
It's not like he could pick someone and the Clinton camp would be like " oh what a wonderful choice, we are so glad Donald picked this person who could possibly take away votes from our side"

Of course they are going to knock the VP. It wouldn't been even worse had it been Newt.
Him and the Clintons have not so nicey-nice history together.

She apparently has forgotten that the incumbent President is exactly those same things.

You must not love America, then. You desire a criminal and a corrupt career politician over a civilian who has been far more successful in business and has the chops and the guts to save this country from the ruin which Obama is leaving us. If you think Hillary is the better choice for President, then don't come crying to us when your individual freedom is taken away from you. And that's one of the things she'll do in her first year in office.


Trump, meanwhile, will be smart enough to do something Obama has not done in seven years, and that's lead.

Obviously not well enough if you don't know who he is.

Trump is catering to the fringe that got him the nomination. Pence is the perfect far rightie.

This is certainly not a match made in heaven. Gingrich or Christie would have been closer to Trump, but Trump probably was forced to take a right wing nutter by the money boys in the party.

She has a hell of a media operation. It will be interesting to see if that can substitute for grassroots support. I've noticed a couple of the Hilts are MIA. Maybe they got canned for not getting the job done.

Mike Pence seems to have history of opposing gay rights - Business Insider


He supported ending "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." But instead of wanted to allow gays to serve openly, he supported ending the policy and not allowing gays to serve at all, even if they did not discuss their sexuality.
