  The GOP nominee has also said he would “open up”

Gosh he’s a peach of a guy. He’s gonna make it EASIER to sue journalists who are ‘unfair’ in his eyes but BY GOD and the Constitution he’s gonna let them in. Uh huh.

“It’s not as if he was a legislator who did more than take strong positions against these things,” said Norm Ornstein, a congressional scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. >“This was a guy who saw his role much more as being a super-magnet trying to pull his party and policy away from the center and toward the right.”

I rather think he looks like Alistair Cooke’s evil brother. “Upstairs, Downstairs” in a certain sense.

Wasn’t it Pence who tried to create an Indiana state press, before it all blew up in his face? What a turd.
