Pence proves he can’t even deliver a win in Texas

...............................

Hoping to establish and expand his base of political support, Vice President Mike Pence has been aggressively reaching out to GOP candidates and lending his election-year aid.

But after campaigning for failed candidates in swing states such as Virginia and Pennsylvania, Pence’s losing streak has now extended to the deeply red state of Texas.

Making the odd decision to get involved in a relatively low-profile GOP primary race for the Dallas-area 5th Congressional District seat, Pence, in a move that reportedly “blindsided” the White House, endorsed Bunni Pounds, touting her as a “strong conservative” who would support the “make America great again agenda.”

The move was supposed to boost Pounds’ support among ultra-conservative voters, who often turn out for primary votes.

Pounds proudly touted the White House endorsement all spring: “I am beyond honored to be endorsed by the vice president, and I look forward to going to Congress and supporting the Trump-Pence agenda as we work to Make America Great Again.”

Then she lost in the Tuesday primary.

In the end, Pence, “charged into the race against the cautious instincts of the president’s political advisers and saw his endorsement fall flat,” the New York Times reports. The loss was embarrassing not only for Pence, but for lots of conservative players. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) also supported Pounds, as did the far-right Club for Growth..........................

1. It's alwqays nice to see...

… Pence lose, but I would rather these radically conservative people win the primaries and lose the big one!

2. this is why i keep saying it wont be worse if Pence takes over if Trump is impeached

or forced to leave.

it might actually start to put the focus back on issues.

the areas that people claim Pence would be horrible at are already areas that Trump is bad at. he is doing all he can to destroy rights for lgbt and women.

3. Oh, I needed this after learning we're trying to stifle

tiny, desperately poor Rwanda's fledgling clothing industry.

I had no idea either. In Indiana first, but now nationally, seemingly more exposure to him means more people who don't like what they're seeing.

4. Club for "Growth of Billionaire Bank Accounts"

Let’s be honest about the goals of that Club. They are a tool of GOP billionaires. Wish the media would say that. Though “far-right” is a good start.
