I just heard this may be premature - just a rumor it’s Pence. Pence as I understand it was the preferred choice of conservatives, the GOP party freaked out by Trump. This is a bone being thrown to them; also Trump genuinely likes and gets along with him and Pence has good connnections / reputation on Capitol Hill. Nationally we don’t know anything really do we? He is a bit of a quiet, stable blank slate - on the Trump ticket I think that is good.

True. And the fact is that Trump did not have a lot of choices. Many of those that would ordinarily be top contenders have declined to be considered, so Pence may be the best of what is left.

All is well that ends well…:o:D

I don’t see how Pence attracts more moderates than Gingrich since the former is solidly conservative. He will most likely attract conservatives and that’s about it. Trump is really depending on a large conservative turnout, including Evangelicals, Mormons, and conservative Catholics. Maybe some blue-collar workers as well, Reagan Democrats who are wary of Clinton.

MB, do you know how many Reagan Democrats voted for Obama or when was the last time they actually voted Democratic on the national level anyway? I wonder too how many blue collar workers know that Donald Trump previously said wages in America are actually too high?

Tony Perkins is weighing in against Pence and he has sway with Evangelicals. The Mormons won’t have anything to do with Trump. I don’t think Trump (at this point in time) can count on all of the standard base. This really limits him.

Yes, I realize the Mormons are not all in Trump’s corner. But why is Tony Perkins against Pence?

Who will the Mormons vote for then?

Sorry, I don’t have the specific details on the Reagan Democrats’ pattern of voting. I think if Trump can at least split the blue-collar vote and get the major share, he may carry some of the battleground Midwestern states, which he probably needs.

Perhaps because they see Trump as a vulgar, profane, pandering Demagogue who is using fear and prejudice to gain votes. Not to mention his racist statements about the “Mexican” judge being biased, and his anti immigration/muslim ideals. Or at least that’s how I see Trump. 😉

They wouldn’t. A Mormon in any real sense of the word would walk across hot coals before supporting HRC. I think most to all will vote for Trump; they tend to follow Evangelical voting patterns. And I think the Evangelicals like and will vote for Trump (remember the South) in spite of everything. They’ve already demonstrated that - they picked Trump over Cruz. That is why we are where we are, at least one of the main reasons…

My Mormon friends are big Bernie supporters, who will be voting for Hillary I presume.

I have two devout Mormon friends (both women) who are enthusiastically voting for Clinton. That’s anecdotal, of course, but I found it interesting.

Hillary is way more devoutly Christian than Trump. One of the reasons so many Republican leaders actually like her is that she attended prayer meetings with them in the White House for years. You may not like Hillary or her policies, but if you know anything about her, you know that her Christianity means a great deal to her and informs her worldview. Trump, not so much.

Are they liberals? Registered Democrats? Because if they are, it’s pretty predictable they would support Hillary Clinton.

So Christian that she not only supports the slaughter of innocents, she works tirelessly to keep it legal.

So Christian that she thinks that the millenniums old institution of marriage should allow same sex couples to marry, despite the fact that the Bible and all mainline faiths (until very recently) are/were against it.

So Christian that she seems to think the sin of lying does not apply to her.

So Christian that she recently said, “And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.” Toss out those Bibles and Catechisms folks.
