Mike Pence Flops In Texas
May 23, 2018 at 7:06 am EDT
By Taegan Goddard

New York Times: “The vice president’s political clout was tested on Tuesday night in Texas, where he backed Bunni Pounds, a conservative activist, in a Republican primary for the Dallas-area House seat that Representative Jeb Hensarling is vacating. Mr. Pence stepped in at Mr. Hensarling’s request, endorsing Ms. Pounds in a tweet after President Trump declined to get involved in a low-profile nomination contest.”

“But despite the unusual intervention of the nation’s second-highest officeholder, Ms. Pounds was defeated on Tuesday night, losing the Republican nomination to Lance Gooden, a former member of the State Legislature. Ms. Pounds boasted repeatedly of Mr. Pence’s support, and it was not enough.”

1. Impeached

This is why I don't fear Pence if Trump gets impeached. He has no political following of any strength. And a loudmouthed impeached Trump would start tearing the Republican party apart.

2. No way we get 2/3 of the Senate unless

Trump is caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy. Ain’t happening

[dembotoz]

4. or maybe sheep?

6. It would have to be a dead sheep

[dembotoz]

9. stuck on ewe

[Uncle Joe]

10. Ewe light up my life!

with apologizes to Debbie Boone and anyone else offended by that.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

14. And tRump was overheard singing...

Ewe are my sunshine, my only sunshine
Ewe make me happy when skies are gray
Ewe'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

With apologies to Gene Autry, Willie Nelson, my mom and all the others.

27. That was baa-d.

[Pepsidog]

19. Trumpers losers cannot get a date so they love sheep.

[PubliusEnigma]

7. Please, do tell us about all the 14 million possible outcomes, Dr. Strange.

You can't predict tomorrow.
Last week, we didn't know that Trump Jr. arranged assistance from other countries.
What else do we not know that Mueller knew a year or more ago?

[Grins]

12. That's what was said about Trump.

"He has no political following of any strength."

That's what was said about Trump. And then he got into the oval office and all that changed.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

15. Amazing what a rabid liar, few billion $$ and foreign interference can do...

in a democracy.

[LanternWaste]

18. That's what was also said of Monty Montlebean of Accident, Maryland.

That's what was also said of Monty Montlebean of Accident, Maryland.

If one asks who he is, the question simply illustrates the validity of your sentiment's corollary as well.

3. yikes

Wikipedia: Bunni Pounds is a teacher, worship leader, and church planter in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. She is bi-vocational with a career in politics supporting people that she believes in and taking the Kingdom of God into the spheres of power within our nation. She is living life on purpose to make Jesus famous.

[Cha]

5. uh huh..

no wonder he endorsed her.. all fake "Christians".

[packman]

17. That's scary

Worship leader -church planter-supporting people she believes in - Kingdom of God into the spheres of power-making Jesus famous. Damn, that woman needs an afternoon TV cable show selling Bibles and other shit.

[gratuitous]

20. "She is living life on purpose to make Jesus famous"

Two things to say about that: Eeee. Yikes.

[OnDoutside]

8. Bunni Pounds for Pence.... and in next week's porno movie....

[NatBurner]

11. bunni pounds dallas

while pence watches and chuckles patriarchally as he's spanked bloody by stormy daniels.

yeah, i'd watch that

[Javaman]

13. ms. pounds sand. :) nt

[Gidney N Cloyd]

16. You don't want a floppy Pence.

[Volaris]

21. Oh I hate when that happens lol.

But now there's pills of various happy colors to help with that problem =)

(On edit) not that I'd know anything about that, and CERTAINLY not from personal experience or anything heh...

[Orsino]

22. He can be out-charisma'd by a day-old frijole with mild sauce.

Ask anyone at a rally he's spoken at about his performance, and they'll say, "Who?"

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. Love "out-charisma'd" !! And he must be incredibly dumb too. When Trump takes

a dive - what's he gonna say? "I told you he was bad" - he can't because he didn't. And if he's pinned his hopes on Trump getting reelected in 2020 he'll still be number two (no pun intended)

[oberliner]

23. Lance Gooden is worse

[dhill926]

24. Hell....he was flopping in Indiana....

before the orange menace (or Koch bros) picked him for veep.

[hatrack]

25. And she lost by 7.5 points . .

As a "church planter", guess she'll have to go back to holding up gardenias or Norfolk island pines or whatever.

Sure hope somebody remembers to water her!

28. Who is surprised by this?

Trump and Pence are not polling well in Texas

[maxsolomon]

29. I'm not in Texas and I don't follow its polls

So I'm mildly surprised that a bible-thumping nut job didn't get a GOP nomination.
