OP
Are you implying that somehow Pence is better, philosophically, than Cruz?

Nuttin' "sheepish" about it. He's a straight up wolf - Christian Dominionist.

(50,254 posts)1. Don't ever put the word "Cruz" and "sheep" THAT close together.
None of us want to think about what Ted got up to as a teenager.
Seriously though...you are right.
Pence is a blander(if less Canadian) version of Cruz.

He's just a bigger asshole in public.

He's way more stupid than Cruz but perhaps slightly less of a douchebag when it comes to personal interactions. Philosophically he's every bit as bad, if not worse, than Cruz.

He's just better at presenting himself as reasonable.

He's the same.

(32,080 posts)11. Yep. He's just another wolf, and has never tried to hide it.
Anyone who thought he was any different than Ted Cruz hasn't been paying attention.

(58,648 posts)10. What "sheep's clothing?"
That implies he's hiding something. His Christo-fascistic Talibangelism is pretty obvious to anybody actually looking.
Mr.Bill
(24,284 posts)12. Pence is Cruz
without all that friendliness and charisma.
Punkingal
(9,522 posts)13. I do.
They are dominionist.
