I dunno. I still think to this day that Palin was McCain's downfall.
WOW... WOW... WOW...Pence is a HOME RUN pick for Trump...WOW.....northern conservatives.... catholics... and can bring secession easily if needed or STATES RIGHTS
It will get him only the uneducated, male northern conservatives and Catholics. If those people want to secede, I say great; give them an island somewhere and deport them. They'll fit on an atoll easily.
30 conservative states will demand stats rights and if not met secession.... liberals cannot survive without taking from conservatives
1.) Trump won't be president
2.) that unfortunately means hillary will, that sucks too
3.) Pence is a scum bag
4.) he is also a horrendous pick because voting wise he brings nothing to the table trump doesnt already have
With the odd selection of Pence, I'm starting to buy into the conspiracy theory that Trump doesn't actually want to win.
Trumps ego is way to large for that, and if it was true, we'll know because there's no way he doesn't come out and admit it.
Yeah, at the end of the day I don't believe it, but Trump is running the worst political campaign in history. Only morons and racists seem to buy into it. Thankfully, most of America don't fall into either category.
I don't know if its that bad but its bad. There are other groups that support him too. Anti-anything left group, anti-hillary groups, anti-establishment groups etc. But yes while I'm not happy about Hillary being next I happy it won't be Trump.
I'd say the most interesting thing about the Trump "phenomenon" is that he himself does NOT have any type of history indicating that he's a conservative. So for the last eight years we've had conservatives claim they are tired of so called "RINO's", and how they are eager to elect a supposed "real conservative" to office, and what do they do? They support a guy who used to be a registered Democrat, AND Clinton supporter, who also supports universal health care and said the economy does better under Democrats than Republicans. And why do they support him? Uhh, because he's going to "build a wall", and other ridiculous race baiting rhetoric. I've never seen something so ridiculous before.

Well a lot of us don't support him and I think many think it was their best hope to be clinton because many others certainly wouldn't do it either. I mean just look at who the top guys were, it was pathetic. I can say this, a real conservative has just become a made up tag for extreme right IMO and under that stereotypical moniker a real conservative will never win. It is quite ridiculous. It's actions like this and so many people that try to fit everybody in a box that make me claim independent even though I lean right.
this military times poll shows what trump is doing with picking pence... Trump has the MEN.. has the VETS.. has the law enforcement and here has the military.. and pence is very strong on getting states to demand rights to the feds.... so one can see trump is checkmating liberals even if hillary wins
In a new survey of American military personnel, Donald Trump emerged as active-duty service members' preference to become the next U.S. president, topping Hillary Clinton by more than a 2-to-1 margin. However, in the latest Military Times election survey, more than one in five troops said they’d rather not vote in November if they have to choose between just those two candidates.
More than 54 percent of the 951 troops Military Times surveyed said they would vote for Trump, the presumed Republican presidential nominee, over Clinton, the Democratic front-runner. Only about 25 percent said they would vote for Clinton in that matchup.

and since the military is MORE and MORE conservative as you go up the power level ladder to officers... that poll wold be even more so for trump with where the real power lies in the military
Which matters not at all. The military is not a significantly large voting bloc, and military leadership are not going to impose their political preferences on the country through an Armed Coup.
The problem is Trump was NOT the best hope to beat Clinton. If anything, the polls showed he was the most likely candidate to lose to Clinton. Which means the base chose him entirely because of race baiting rhetoric, because they sure as hell couldn't have chose him for his non existent conservative credentials, or his non existent political experience.
RIGHT... the military being conservative will NOT stop conservative states from seceding... this is what is coming and trump is setting this up well
