“Yesterday Donald Trump rolled out a 5-point plan to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C.,” Pence said to the thunderous applause of the hundreds gathered. He then recapped some of that plan:

He then recapped some of that plan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-OXdxLNB3Q _ I was horrified when Mike Pence on MSNBC said he would have the 'wait and see" approach to the election results. Seems like only Rubio gets it - if you make that bed, you may have to lay in it - and it ain't comfortable. For 240 years, the USA has had a real comfortable democracy - one in which when the other side loses, they just say - ok - you have it! I remember in 1996 when the GOP won the House for the first time in 40 years (during Clinton's second term) - I was in an airport when it was announced. People were stunned, shocked, surprised..me too. but when I got up the next morning and saw Gingrich giving his speech, I thought, OK, Pal - it's all yours! You try it! (Indeed they did with the "Contract ON America" which went no where and were out of business in under a decade.) Americans have that (rather) unique sense of fair play - if you win, ok, better luck next time - we see the referees as fallible, but figure the calls go both ways - we respect winners and losers (if played fairly). Elections I would say even more so - it is a deep respect of the system that we all enjoy - and believe me, it is very unique compared to others. Trump+Pence are shattering this calm and trust. It is with heavy heart that we end this thing and yeah, it will be wait and see - for sure. The GOP is gone - like the Tories in Canada not too long ago - and folks - it is a hard road back. America is better with a balance political playing field - give and take a la Reagan/O'Neill - but will we ever get back to that? If Dems do not win senate, look for another 2012-2016 of nothing done. Here's the latest on "wait and see" and what Pence is doing. Mike Pence on the Campaign Trai after "wait and see" Pence is done. He has, like his new buddy, disqualified himself from office, perhaps ever again. Big bet he gets a fat job in DC and not go back to Fort Wayne...any takers? |

Doesn't matter Trump should win and if he doesn't Kaine becomes President after Hilliary gets impeached or does the right thing a resigns before taking office. Mike Pence on the Campaign Trai after "wait and see" Pence is done. He has, like his new buddy, disqualified himself from office, perhaps ever again.

Of course you missed the point again.
Al Gore's political career is, in fact, over - and has been since he lost the 2000 election to Bush 43. He went on to make the film "An Inconvenient Truth", which I can assume you haven't seen and if you had, probably wouldn't believe that the earth is actually getting hotter by greenhouse gases being trapped (nice October here - will be hottest on record). He also sat on Apple's Board and others and made a pile of dough in investing. But as far as politics are concerned, he is a ghost. So, no, after he was VP and failed at the Presidency, his political career was over. My point was that Pence is facing political oblivion, like so many others - except with a divided GOP, he really has no place to go. If you and your Fox News fueled right wing-nuts get the GOP, you'll see him as a loser; if the more salient and pliable GOP emerges, he will be radioactive - like most Trumpites. Either way, he is headed to the political scrap heap - perhaps he'll go back into talk radio. As I have said, he'll get a plum DC lobbying job for his loyalty. I wish him well - again - nice guy - just duped. Though I respect your opinion of who you think will win the presidency, be careful what you wish for. Oh, and all those emails - check this story out: Trump Org Deleted Emails - Even When the Court told him not to It is a terrible shame that the US public can't have good debates like these: 3rd Indiana Governor Debate 2016 I made my 12 yo son watch this to show him that we don't need food fights or partisan clap trap to support our democracy. We need good strong candidates who respect each other and the process. Just in case you don't bother to watch, there were no interruptions, no sex talk and not snarky remarks. Your candidate, the GOP's candidate, is certainly to go down as one of the worst in history and certainly in the cable TV era. How many he will bring down with him is undetermined. This happened with the Tories in Canada - and they didn't recover for a bit - Labor dominates up there now. Trump is a lying, egotistical, snarky, spoiled child with less intellect than another of your heroes Bush 43 (you remember, the guy who gave us 911, trillion in debt of useless wars, sent the country into its deepest depression in a century). Most of Trump's money spent in the campaign went to his own companies; his own campaign people are not giving to the campaign; he gives nothing to charity. he assaults women with impunity and as a point of arrogance. Can't wait until your granddaughter or niece asks who you who you voted for - snap, just made another Dem.! But you'll go on hating the guy who brought us out of all this - stopped wars, balanced our economy, built collations, and kept us in peace and prosperity - all bc what he looks like in a swim suit. You'll vote against a flawed by strong public servant (for this guy? what has he ever done for anybody but himself?) - yeah, helping children, women, the poor, guiding the world's problems - that's all of no consequence to your vote - only your own accepted invective from otherwise commercial interests (you did know that Fox News makes billions, didn't you?). Just in case your candidate doesn't win, you won't hear the last of him - he is already monetizing you and all your fellow haters - keep buying those hats - made in China. Your prediction does have precedence. Bill Clinton gave us a balanced budget (actually a surplus), peace and prosperity, and a few other choice laws like FLMA and plant closure act. but you and your haters voted against Gore. Well done. Hope you get what you want - and throw our country into useless wars and financial ruin - but you wont hear that on Fox News - they'll blame it all on...well...you know who. |
