"SNIP...........
Mike Pence, once thought to be an anchor who could rally conservatives to the administration, has instead seen his own popularity plummet in tandem with Donald Trump. His presence in the White House is not even enough to make his former state of Indiana approve of the administration.
Nothing better demonstrates Pences inability to save Trumps presidency than the dismal results of his recent fundraising efforts.
This week, Pence headlined a GOP gathering in Denver, and even after cutting the base ticket price from $275 to $150 out of sheer desperation to fill the large room, the party only sold 400 tickets in a convention space that seats 1,500.
Moreover, Pence and his dismally small crowd of supporters were met with a protest. The streets around the convention center were lined with people dressed in garb from The Handmaids Tale, protesting Pences attacks on abortion, Planned Parenthood, and health care.

One of the most sickening politicians I have seen and there are a hell of alot to choose from. He would become a theocratic dictator given the chance.
