“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:

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?
