Better then Christie.

Decent choice

Doesn't matter,
If it's on Twitter, it must be Gospel

Well, guess he doesn't want to win.


Edit: I'll actually wait to hear his acceptance speech and then judge. I've only ever heard soundbites from him and not much else.


I'll see if he has any energy to boost a conservative base.

Drudge headline now.

OK, but I was pulling for Sarah Palin.  But, at the end of the day, it makes no difference.

Good choice I think.

Just a quick read for those that are interested.

Not an exhaustive source by any means.

Not familiar with Pence. What are his faults?

Yep

Hillary can kick back
She's got this bitch

Seems solid at a glance.  Alright ARFCOM, what's wrong with him?

 

I've pulled for her so long I have calluses.

 

Every donut shop owner within 20 miles of the NJ governor's mansion just rejoiced.

Brilliant choice too, Trump. Pick a guy from a state you were already leading in just to make sure you don't win any of the battleground states you needed.

Time to watch urbandictionary.com to laugh at new definitions for "Trumpence".

Did you want Christie?

WINNING

+1

Certainly a hell of a lot better than Krispy.

He spoke at the NRA convention in Indianapolis, I liked what he had to say

What's the rub?

Or Newt

Im tagging this because I know it will turn into a shitstorm

Don't know much about him, but I had heard he was best buds with Ryan.


idk, bonjour

Never heard of him before.

I guess that's a good thing.

Right?

I bet it wont be him.

Don't know jack about Pence, is he any good?

LOL

That is a low bar.

Pence is the right choice. He will bring conservative credibility to a ticket that was lacking it.

Craptacular pick.

Looks good on Guns:

Gun ownership increases public safety

In the wake of the terrorist attack on a recruiting station in Chattanooga, Tennessee, I'm proud to say that Indiana was among the first states to allow our National Guard to carry firearms at all recruiting stations. Hoosiers know firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens--including our National Guard--makes our communities more safe not, less safe. Indiana will always defend the right to keep and bear arms.

Rated A by the NRA, indicating a pro-gun rights voting record.

Pence scores A by NRA on pro-gun rights policies
While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has, since its inception, been the premier firearms education organization in the world. But our successes would not be possible without the tireless efforts and countless hours of service our nearly three million members have given to champion Second Amendment rights and support NRA programs.
The following ratings are based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionaire sent to all Congressional candidates; the NRA assigned a letter grade (with A+ being the highest and F being the lowest).

National cross-state standard for concealed carry.

Pence signed H.R.197&S.845
Establishes a national standard for the carrying of concealed firearms (other than a machinegun or destructive device) by non-residents. Authorizes a person who has a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm in one state and who is not prohibited from carrying a firearm under federal law to carry a concealed firearm in another state:
Notwithstanding any law of any State, a person who is not prohibited by Federal law from possessing a firearm and is carrying a valid license to carry a concealed firearm may carry in another State a concealed firearm.
If such other State issues licenses to carry concealed firearms, the person may carry a concealed firearm in the State under the same restrictions which apply in that State.
If such other State does not issue licenses to carry concealed firearms, the person may not carry a concealed firearm in a police station, in a courthouse, at a meeting of a governing body, in a school, at an athletic event, in an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages, or inside an airport, except to the extent expressly permitted by State law.

Teach kids Eddie Eagle GunSafe's lifesaving message.

Pence signed H.RES.1365
RESOLUTION Commending the National Rifle Association for developing the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program and teaching 23,000,000 children its lifesaving message.
Whereas the National Rifle Association created the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program to teach the fundamentals of firearm safety to children in an effective way;
Whereas through activity books, posters, and other educational materials, children are reminded of a simple safety message, 'If you see a gun: STOP! Don't Touch. Leave the Area. Tell an Adult';
Whereas the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program has been used by more than 26,000 public or private schools, law enforcement agencies, and civic organizations, and has reached 23,000,000 children since 1988;
Whereas the annual number of firearm accidents has declined more than 80 percent since the inception of the program; and
Whereas the legislatures of 23 States have passed resolutions recommending the use of the Eddie Eagle Program;
Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
commends the National Rifle Association for developing the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program and teaching 23,000,000 children its lifesaving message;
supports the goals and objectives of the National Rifle Association's Eddie Eagle gun safety program;
encourages educators across the United States to incorporate gun education programs in elementary school curricula to help decrease the incidence of accidental gun-related deaths among children; and
encourages civic and community organizations concerned about the safety and well-being of children across the United States to support funding for the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program at the local level.

Loosen restrictions on interstate gun purchases.

Pence co-sponsored Firearms Interstate Commerce Reform Act
Congressional Summary:Amends the federal criminal code to:
allow licensed firearms dealers to sell or deliver any firearm (currently, rifles or shotguns) to any state if the licensee meets with the purchaser and the transaction complies with the laws of the state in which the transfer is conducted and the purchaser's state of residence; and
eliminate the requirement that a licensee must conduct business at a gun show only in the state that is specified on the licensee's license.
Nothing in this Act shall prohibit the sale of a firearm or ammunition between licensed firearms dealers at any location in any state.
Proponent's Comments (NRA-ILA, Oct. 14, 2011): This bill would remove several antiquated and unnecessary restrictions imposed on interstate firearms business since 1968:
Virtually all interstate transfers directly between private citizens are banned; so are nearly all interstate handgun sales by licensed dealers.
Firearms dealers may only do business at their licensed premises or (since 1986) at gun shows in their own state.
Dealers may not even transfer firearms to one another face to face, away from their business premises.

His strengths are good when it comes to spending and national security.

I.e.



However, the left will destroy him over his stance against homosexuals. Numerous statements opposing special protected class for homosexuals regards to "hate crimes" as well as military service.


That is the only thing you'll hear the left talk about

And yet... it's still one that had to be jumped.

IN just in case it's true.  I honestly had no clue who he was, but after some brief research...seems like a good pick.

Who would you have picked and why?

Drudge has a link to the New York Post which is reporting info from Rollcall.com, and that's as far as I went.  

I'm a better choice than him. My retarded gay cat is a better choice too.

It's meaningless.  No one's voting for a VP this time around.  In fact, most people aren't voting for a POTUS this time around, we're all voting against someone being POTUS.  And the other side is no different, they're voting against Trump the same way everyone here is voting against Hillary.
