Related: About this forumAP: Pence is furious
Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, was "beside himself" and his wife was furious, according to a person familiar with their thinking. That person spoke on the condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to share the private discussion.

He appears to think very highly of himself.

(81,282 posts)I hope our Dems force every last republi-CON, every place and any place from coast-to-coast and Alaska and Hawaii, to wear this catastrophe around like a Donald Trump necktie!
Force them to gag it down. Force them to wear it and own it.
YOU built this, GOP! YOU built it!

There should be a heavy price to pay for this. There should be colossal consequences for this.
Oh, and by the way, THIS. For all those still standing with him:

(8,419 posts)You own that 260 pound steaming sack of shit. The racism, the sexism, the entitlement isn't new. It was obvious to anyone who cared to look. So you are either ignorant or a steaming sack of shit yourself.
The Repugs made their shitty beds, now they need to lie in them.

(5,049 posts)He destroyed his political career in Indiana. There was only one place for him to go to try to keep his career alive. So he jumped - and he's screwed - win some lose some. After all - he's interested all women's genitals and controlling their reproductive rights - so he can't be too fussy about Donald being interested in just a few of them.
Ok - bad joke - my apologies to "anyone who is offended." Damn - I did it again...

(14,047 posts)Come on. Everybody knew that Trump was like this, the deplorables just didn't care or actually liked that part of .
Pence is furious that Trump got caught.

(3,284 posts)This wasn't a surprise to anyone with half a brain. The only surprise was that something like this didn't come out sooner.
Mike Pence has to be the phoniest politician I've ever seen (which is really saying something).

(15,369 posts)sympathy whatsoever for Pence. He is every bit as bad as Trump and, in some ways, even worse. That he chose to run with Trump shows that he also has excessively bad judgment.
There is also this bit from the link that I found VERY interesting:
I had heard about the first but not about the highlighted second.
Here is one report about that: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/07/russia-makes-formal-complaint-to-the-un-over-speech-criticising/
It has revived claims Moscow is interfering in the US presidential election.
Mr Churkin angrily protested at two speeches by Zeid Raad Al Hussein, the UN commissioner on human rights, that denounced demagogues and specifically targeted Mr Trump and several populist leaders in Europe.
A senior UN diplomat said Mr Churkin specifically condemned the fact that Zeid mentioned Trump.
This. Is. Unprecedented.
