Pence Advises Trump to Keep Same Debate Strategy

Gov. Mike Pence said he is not pushing Donald Trump to follow his lead in this weekend’s debate but instead wants the Manhattan billionaire to “be himself,” Politico reports.

Said Pence: “I’d encourage Donald Trump to do what he did in his first debate and that is be himself. Speak from his mind and speak from his heart and I know he’s going to do that.”

in 2020.

He's such a fucking wingnut that he only looks "flip the ticket" sane IN COMPARISON to Trump. When we are looking at Batshit Fucking Crazy, then Unhinged Wingnut Crazy looks -- by comparison -- closer to normal.

Standing on his own, he'll look like the great big honking racist, sexist, asswipe homophobe that he actually is....and all of this video we've been able to get on him will not help, either!

A thing of beauty is a joy forever:

He's grateful to Trump, because he was losing, BADLY, in his re-election bid. Trump took him away from an embarrassing defeat and transformed him into the guy who will be, in essence, the weak-ass head of the GOP, for a little while, anyway, and a contender in the next POTUS election.

But he's a garbage guy, a pile of crap gussied up in a hefty bag, a smoke-and-mirrors bullshit artist. He will melt under tough scrutiny (and since Trump has taken up all the air in the room, he hasn't gotten a lot of ATTENTION from the major media) and that will happen in four years' time, if he decides to persue his POTUS ambitions.

tRump's creative and idealistic organs are located well south of his heart. i'd encourage him to continue overusing them.

But a good thought. Perhaps a professional Trump impersonator could go?
