Pence Is Religious Right's Ace In The Hole For Theocracy. Would Follow Trump.

In nay event Pence will be the next GOP presidential candidate. His place on the Trump ticket was the plan. And if you think he could not win and religious nuts could not get control, we have to remember we ended up with Trump.

Behind the scenes there are a lot of religious zealots in key places right now. And I bet we would be shocked about what is going on behind closed doors.

Make no mistake...the evangelicals would pour out of surprising places to vote for Pence. It helps that Pence has some connections as well....why do you think Manafort insisted he be the VP pick???

so if we get Pence it won't be for long since Mueller is checking him out too.

I also know that the average person isn't into Pence's crazy "religious" plans. He may have a religious base but he is too extreme for the average voter which out number his Bible thumpers.
