Pence Tells Donors He Is Fully Committed to Trump

Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence told Republican donors Saturday night that he is fully committed to Donald Trump, aides said.

Speculation that Mr. Pence might leave the ticket, following in the footsteps of other Republicans who abandoned Mr. Trump on Saturday after the release of a videotape of the nominee making lewd comments of women, is “categorically false,” one aide said.

“Governor Pence spoke enthusiastically about Mr. Trump, his pro-growth economic policies and the movement he’s begun,” said Marty Obst, director of Trump-Pence vice presidential operations. None of the donors at the Saturday fundraiser in Providence, R.I., canceled after the release of the video, or asked questions about it, Mr. Obst said.

“Several guests remarked that they didn’t want to get caught up trying to dissect every statement by Mr. Trump,” Mr. Obst said. “They were focused instead on his message and his positions.”

"I'm behind him 1,000%"

1. Keeping his eyes on the prize in 2020. I suspect promises have been made.

[canetoad]

15. Keep looking Mike

After November, Pence will sink back into obscurity, never again to have any political influence.

2. What pro growth policies? Restrict trade?

Build battleships? Mine for coal?
He has no polices. They offer nothing but
Pussy grabbing nonsense.

3. Meanwhile...

@jonkarl: If Trump doesn't do well in debate, "I would not rule out the possibility" that Pence would leave ticket.

4. Were there tears in his eyes when he said it?

'Cause that boy is trapped like a rat.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Good, Mike. Now we need just five more pall bearers

Silvertop dipshit.

6. The abused wife. Stockholm syndrome, to the max.

trump's a cult leader.

7. Mikey must be feeling like the morale officer on the Kobayashi Maru (Star Trek refernce)

OK. I'm a geek!

[ananda]

8. Lol

"I'm behind him 1,000%" --

Yeah, with your Pence-il head right up his fat ass.

[Blue Idaho]

9. Good! Take. Him. Down.

Let him ride the steaming wagon of shit right into the gates of hell.

[bluedigger]

10. Are we sure they didn't say "commitable"?

Because that would makes more sense.

[quakerboy]

11. And why wouldn't he be?

Its still his best shot at becoming president.

[athena]

13. "His message"?

That women are playthings for men and don't deserve respect? That it's acceptable to talk about women that way? That it's OK to force oneself on a woman -- a married woman, no less?

I have to say I'm not surprised that most Republicans are not bothered by Trump's words. After all, this is a party that denies women's humanity and sees women as baby-making machines who should not be allowed to have any say over what happens to our bodies.

14. I expected nothing more from that sociopathic sychophant.

[andym]

16. Behind him a 1000%? Last time I heard that McGovern was talking about Eagleton. nt.

[JI7]

17. what would Jesus do ? pence wants trump to have control over women's bodies

He said so at the debate. Kaine asked him why he doesnt trust women to make deciSions themselves.

This is pences christian faith.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. By "fully committed", he means ...

... if the repugs somehow dump Trump and put Pence at the top of the ticket, Pence will select Trump as his running mate.

Hmmm, somehow I doubt that level of commitment.
