Pence was still a good pick for Trump, but Trump screwed it up big time. It would be so easy for him to keep this race tight but he's a complete idiot. Hillary has huge weaknesses and he's doing nothing about it.

A guy whose biggest accomplishment was signing a bill that openly allowed discrimination against LGBT people was a good pick?

Trump's supporters would probably say such a bill didn't go far enough.

Drumpf's supporters would probably say such a bill didn't go far enough.

Pence literally supports conversion therapy. And it's in the Republican platform......they are going farther.

I don't understand this scenario. Apparently the Koch's don't like Trump, but they do like Pence? Who vetted him in the first place? And why was he chosen given the bad press he received back in 2015? He re-election prospects seemed uncertain, so the Trump campaign picks Pence? What advantages does this guy bring to the table other than his anti-LGBT positions? It couldn't have been his business acumen, given the fallout stemming from RFRA.

Pence is a reliable republican pick who will cut taxes, deregulate industries and reduce government spending on social programs. That's all the business side of the GOP that's left cares about.

Why is that something to celebrate?

The whole world should be worried about either candidate.

The rest of the world is in fact confused as to how this is considered such a hard decision for Americans to make.

He almost feels like a hail mary pass. At least for his political aspirations, given that his bid for re-election as governor of Indiana is in question. He actually had designs of running for president himself this year, but the fallout from his passing RFRA put the kibosh on that. Him being selected as the vice presidential pick seems more like a life line to me, because no GOP politician wanting to have a career after this election cycle wanted nothing to do with Trump. Not Condi Rice, not John Kasich, not Paul Ryan.

From what I heard even Trump didn't want Pence.

Somehow they ended up with him, and no one really knows why.

That is how screwed up that campaign is.
