Democrats Are Preparing to Run Against Pence In 2020

https://politicalwire.com/2017/08/17/democrats-preparing-run-pence-2020/

"SNIP...........


BuzzFeed: “Democrats are already preparing for a possible 2020 presidential bid by Vice President Mike Pence, with a major group dedicating staff — including on the ground in Indiana — to dig up dirt on him, amid rumblings that Pence is positioning himself for a run.”

“The vice president has denied having intentions to run, but he has been meeting with top donors and has set up a leadership PAC that has already raised $540,000, as President Trump continues to make comments on race and other issues that are making Republicans increasingly uncomfortable.”

He is a smooth theocratic fascist, as opposed to the crude fascist who currently occupies the White House.

But here in Indiana we know all too well. Prime example -
Two years ago as gubner he concocted a plan with the GOP legislature to pass a horrible anti-gay discrimination bill. This was done with state religious leaders and right-wing zealots in secret meetings. The bill was passed in the dead of night without democratic knowledge. The blowback was so severe the legislature had to modify the bill (which was still bad but this IS Indiana and the church still is very influential. Bottom line - we hate Pence and glad he is out of our state.
