Pence said that he wrote the essay ā€œa long time ago.ā€


First, a campaign ought to demonstrate the basic human decency of the candidate,. That means your First Amendment rights end at the tip of your opponentā€™s noseā€”even in the matter of political rhetoric.

I know that there is a human sacrifice in regards to these get-togethers, but I bet Pence wishes that he had beat Ernst when it came time to declining.

Side-note: that Pence essay

I suspect Iā€™m ADD a bit myself, at least enough to look into it, and that seems really plausible. His ability to attend to things sure doesnā€™t seem like itā€™s under his conscious control.

I watched the clip and saw cross talk, not interrupting. But it was clear that Trump felt hemmed in by Penceā€™s ridiculously non-responsive answer and took the opportunity to jam ā€œCrooked Hillaryā€ down the throats of both Stahl and Pence.

Hillary has a very nice sad cup-mute trumpet in her ā€œbriefingā€ about this VP choice.

Long ago there used to be lots of peopleā€¦ but that was a long time ago.

After all Iā€™ve read, seen and heard about Trump I have come to the conclusion GOP voters are the stupidest people on earth. Just ignorant dumfu@#s and so very proud of it. Makes you want to vomit.

Or when Trump turns on Pence. Probably October, when it becomes clear that they are gonna lose bad. Then, after the election, when there is blame to place.

that essay was 25 years ago

Now this was likely the reason for that ad

One Pence ad featured a man in a tacky robe with a thick Arab accent thanking [his Democratic opponent Phil] Sharp for his support of foreign oil. Some still maintain that the ad starred Pence himself, and its lost footage has become a sort of Ark of the Covenant in Indiana politics.

But it is what it isā€¦

I am pretty sure that the GOP used to have a lot more educated people in its ranks, especially people with a scientific background.
Now itā€™s just doctors, bankers and their ilk, and a bunch of Hollywood stars who make up the elite GOP voting ranks.

All those pieces have used music very cleverly as part of the message. Consistently impressive stuff that shop does, whoever they are.

Totally. I really thought the recent one was very Hitchcock-ian.

Looking for the first time Pence registers an ā€œOh shit, what have I gotten myself into?ā€ expression? Any day.
Look at how long their TP logo was up before it went down the rabbit hole. It will live on forever on the internet, despite Trumpā€™s efforts to scrub it. He thinks he could do that by just calling Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg and having them fix it for him. Yā€™know CEO to CEO, like business. Then maybe a round of golf at one of his resorts if it works out. Maybe. He often doesnā€™t keep his promises.

might be sooner.

One never really knows. However while Pence (and others) are taught that the vice president is sometimes the lesser in that relationship with the president, Pence couldnā€™t have been pleased when Trump interrupted in regards to a subject that would have served both better by letting Pence explain his actions.

How do you mean? Editing-wise? Music use?

Iā€™m thinking, maybe Pence is really a dummy and Trump is a superb ventriloquist.

strangely that union should be the equivalent of a perfect marriage: an old sock (Trump) and a washing machine (Pence). However that union should get reporters to start asking again: what is the difference between Trump using a bullhorn and other modern day Republicans continuing to use their dog whistles?
