CBS This Morning

Mike Pence is on right now and he seems completely unable to answer a direct question.

He also says that when Trump speaks, he makes things very clear......wonder why so many people have to interpret what he has said previously.

Nora O'Donnell was pretty hard on him, not hard enough but she did ask him repeatedly to answer her question when he wandered with bullshit.

of repellent realities to voters. He's a religious extremist who immediately used his power as governor to run a religious steamroller over the foolish voters who thought they elected the moderate he claimed to be. And, of course...Trump.

Of course he can't answer a direct question. Most Republican officials these days are so far separated from mainstream conservatism that they cannot speak truthfully about what they would do in office, even to conservatives. That's why all the lies.

He's still waiting for the phone call telling him when he's speaking at the RNC.

the ads for the guy Pence "handpicked" to succeed him were painful. Also the guy who is running against Bayh for the Senate was immediately identified as a weasel. His ad was all anti- Washington...he is currently in the US Congress, trying to run as an outsider.

4. A friend of mine described it perfectly: "Every time Pence opens his mouth, you can actually see

a little more of his soul leaking away."
