Elizabeth Landers ?@ElizLanders 1h1 hour ago
BREAKING: @mike_pence will no longer go to Wisconsin today, a campaign source tells me. The decision not to attend was made this morning.
...and, this just happened:
Senator John Thune @SenJohnThune
Donald Trump should withdraw and Mike Pence should be our nominee effective immediately.

(11,495 posts)Not only did it take him this long to speak out, he isn't leaving the campaign, and that will be the end to Mike Pence's future in politics.

It really accomplishes nothing, just asking prayers that Trump reveal his true heart as he stays in the race when we already know from the video what's in Trump's heart.
Pence would have been better off walking away from the campaign if he wasn't given assurances that he would be placed at the top of the ticket. Walking away would have made him stronger for a 2020 race.

(85,996 posts)...if Pence steps aside, he invites someone like Romney to fill the vacuum.
Pence is trying to set up a Swaggert-like defense which Trump will fool away, anyhow.

(2,785 posts)hoping Trump will step down. Otherwise I don't believe he would've made such a statement. He had no problem ignoring what Trump said before and even lied through his teeth claiming he and Trump didn't say the things they did.

(85,996 posts)...Pence doesn't really have a relationship with Trump and has to be thinking of the opportunity for himself to step in if something happens to pry the head of the ticket away from his candidacy.

(9,148 posts)Remorse?? Not at all.
What is in his heart?? We have all heard repeatedly " what is in his heart". It didn't just happen 11 years ago. It has been an ongoing issue with Trump. Don't act so surprised Mr Pence.
As to women? Well Mike Pantload Pence, you have been reaching in with your male priviledge as much as Trump, with your demeaning anti-women's right to care for their own female healthcare. Women's health care is NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS.
You and Trump both need to keep your hands off every female's pu**y.
Respect that Don & Mike.
F you.
