Mike Pence will be damn lucky if he wins his own Governor's seat this cycle...he is almost

a pariah in Indiana, even among Republicans. That Trump is considering him is not surprising, but coming from this Hoosier: Just the thought of him being on the ticket makes my skin crawl. Please, for the love of all that is holy, defeat this ticket, no matter who is on it, but particularly if it includes Pence. His entire political career should actually be OVER after November. Please help make it so.

I weep tonight.

I weep for the most recent victims of police gunfire. I weep for their families, friends, and communities.
I weep for the victims of the apparent sniper attacks (still ongoing as I type this) in Dallas. I weep for their families, friends, and coworkers and I weep for their community.
I weep for us all.
I weep for what we seem to have become, or what we have always been..not sure which it is.

It's not just words. I am watching tv with tears openly flowing.
