Well, for starters, screw Art Pope. He was a major contributor to the Repuke takeover and destruction of politics in NC. Also, Pence is less charming than a garden gnome and less animated so I don’t see he is the best one to send if you want to “charm” anyone. I would expect him to go stand in a corner and stare.

I’m sure all the military veterans that are now wealthy are chomping at the bit to contribute. You know, in John McCain’s memory.

As if catatonic mikey has some kind of persuasive charm. if anything he’ll try to persuade the rich donors to back himself in 2020 - nah, that would take some political courage which mikey has never displayed.

Since he is charmless, maybe he’ll just be dispatched, full stop.

In this administration, the cardboard cut-out of the vice president… by which I mean the vice president… is the one with “charm”.

Hope none of those never-trumpers are female Senators, or Pence Charming here will need a chaperon for his gentleman-caller-visit.

If Trump could fire Pence and put Ivanka in that position by decree, he would do it today.

Well, the absolute absurdity of Mike Pence charming anyone being a key part of their strategy to raise a billion dollars (to grift?) is just a bit too much to handle this early in the day.

The GOP is in great shape.

This’ll work great because most billionaires have no experience with unctuous flatterers who want something from them.

For a one million dollar donation, you can have a 30 minute private conversation with the Vice President. For a two million dollar donation, the Vice President will wave in your direction from across the street.

It will be a shock for him, when he is left out of the 2020 ticket…

Well he did such a fantastic job keep Republicans from voting against the emergency declaration that this really is a no brainer.

An even better shock: After talking to all these “GOP Elders,” Pence comes home from his walking tour and declares that he will run against Trump.

They sent Pence to “charm”?

That’s like sending a box of diphtheria bon-bons to someone for Valentine’s Day.

I heard that Mother Pence won’t allow Mikey to be alone in a room with a garden gnome.
