Yes he can give a decent interview with a safe interviewer with no hard ball questions.
Give him a smart interviewer with a controversial issue - and not so much. Here he is after he, as governor, made his first move to win the far religious right voters - nationally - setting up a run for president - when that move blew up spectacularly on him: http://abcnews.go.com/ThisWeek/video/gov-mike-pence-religious-freedom-law-29987447
Compared to Trump he can come off as more stable and (yeesh relativity) more smart. But really, he just is not that smart.
They ran it this am on Mourning Joe
Basically without comment just jaw dropping blank stares.
It speaks for itself
Goes beyond cringeworthy into uncharted territory
Government happens to be staffed by US Citizens…NOT JUST right wing Republicans. No surprise that the FBI has both Democrats and Republicans…after all, is the FBI suppose to hire Russians or something?
Republicans and their witch hunt can all fuck off
We want to see the FBI agents comments who were trashing Hillary and pushing for the election swinging letter
If the FBI was all Republicans and just Trump supporters, then who the hell would ever conduct a useful and meaningful investigation of the Russian interference and US Citizens that broke the law and worked with the Russians (Flynn, Manafort, Kushner, Popodopolous, Cage, Pence, Sessions, and others). If Trump wasn’t involved then Trump was clueless how he surrounded himself with pro-Russian spies!
Run for office- the 2018 elections are less than a year away! And if Trump and Louie Gohmert can get elected what’s to stop a qualified candidate?
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. You’ll meet with neighborhood Dems and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led Voter run-around help them do that.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump and half of eligible voters stayed home last November. Today’s 12-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly.
Get appointed to your Planning Commission. Know everything going on in your community.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020, just over 2 years from now, when we redraw Congressional Districts.
And get rid of GERRYMANDERING! Safe GOP seats gave us such intellectual giants as Louie Gohmert and Steve King. In most cases it’s the state Legislature that draws Congressional boundaries. Make it FAIR, OPEN and HONEST! We can do this!
Overturn Citizens United. Money is NOT speech and Corporations are NOT people- at least not until Texas executes one, and overturn any voter ID laws that are clearly an attempt to disenfranchise the poor and people of color.

Had to chuckle–got friends who are huge Scrabble fiends. I’m a total word nerd but I’m not as good at Scrabble as people expect for some reason. One of life’s disappointments.
There’s concrete overshoes available for guys who don’t toe the line. Also he looks absolutely drugged. What cave did they drag him out of to parade in front of the Fox hack? I guess Mother is his jailer.
The biggest Christmas present Pence wants is to be POTUS. Do not think for a minute he desn’t want it. That’s why he cheers trump on at every turn. Go ahead boss, drive the car off that cliff…
But Ol’ Mikey would be trump 2.0. That’s my humble estimation. If not now, later. Like an Elf in the Hobbit, he can wait. Remember, trump legacy 2.0 with an added dash that Mikey knows and understands how government works having been a House Rep. and a Governor (Indiana). But given even that he still makes a box of rusty hammers look gooood. That little sign says “Don’t touch”
