What is the deal with Pence?

He is a straight-laced radical religious fanatic and stands by trump. How is this possible? From the beginning I believed he was a political lie that took the VP, because it was there for the taking. I don't trust him. He has his own plans.

have very flexible morals when their ambitions are involved. Pence can justify hanging onto the coattails of a louche, vulgar, duplicitous, adulterous breaker of God's commandments because he (Pence) doesn't grab women's crotches; he's still on his first wife; he doesn't say bad words in public; and he knows Jesus loves him. And anyhow, he might get to be president some day, which God wants very much.

He is not worthy of eating the feces of Jesus.

But he sure eats enough of it from you know who!

some truly heinous laws. I wonder what is his first legislative agenda would be? Probably something to do with religious rights, as though there is some kind of issue with freedom religion in the first place.

I think he is a total fraud. Probably like one of those republicans behind the toilet bills that have been caught with young boys.

Not saying that is what his perversion is but I think there is one that would destroy him if exposed.

No true extreme christian would go around following someone as "sinful" as trump. I think is a fraud.

To the point he smells like moth balls...

His "concern" over what people do with their fiddly bits makes me wonder if his obsessions are really jealousies.

Only "Mother" knows for sure, I suppose.

I think he was selected to be a counter-balance, opposite of Trump. I don't trust him, but I don't think he has a conspiracy against Trump. I think his short term plans are fulfilling Paul Ryan's dreams, the Supreme Court, being the tie-breaker in the Senate and all of that RW stuff. Every right wing thing that gets passed makes him feel more powerful. It's an ego thing. Also if Trump gets cast aside, he's got the full backing of the Right Wing.

Every time he is seen with Trump, his head is nodding so hard you wonder how its still attached.
