Pence is a true conservative, a true Christian, and despite my very strong disagreement with his views, seems like a decent human being. On policy there would probably be minor differences but on most issues, a Pence Presidency would look identical to Trump's without all the drama, incompetence, and corruption. Conservatives would still get their socially conservative, anti-abortion, anti-LGBT, pro-second amendment judges. With that in mind, why do Republicans prefer Trump over him? Is it because of Trump's crass, bullying, strongman authoritarian style? Is it the fact that Trump is perceived as being more electable than Pence? Is it simply the fact that Trump angers liberals more? Is there some other reason?

I dont agree with the man on everything but he is stable and respects the importance of consistency and norms.

It doesn't matter if its Trump, Pence or any other Conservative is the President. The hatred of the left is geared towards Conservatives, Christians, nuclear families, Patriots, and lovers of the Constitution. Trump is just the point person that liberals are pressing their hatred for, and it would be anyone who is that position because these are the people they really hate.

I'm not religious.


Pence is too much of a religious freak for my taste.

I'm fine with either one, could care less about their religious values just as long as they aren't far left Democrats. Pence might be a bit too far right for me, but it doesn't bother me.

A "serious question" from bawac.

The humor never ends around here.

TRANSLATION: He's no good at fighting back against socialistic liberal fanatics and defeating them. Please, please, please get Trump out of the oval office and put Pence in instead. Please!

That's pretty much the deal with people like him. If Donald Trump punched everybody he disliked in the face, hurled feces at Nancy Pelosi, urinated on Adam Schiff in public, tortured every democrat's cat or dog and insulted every foreign leader (except of course Putin), they would love him all the more for it.

Why did you like Obama over Biden?

We hired Trump to do a job and he's doing it. Pence makes a nice clean up man. Being a VP has to be the easiest job in the world.
Pence is not the reason Hillary is not in office right now.
