21. Pence will be a horrible president, too.

Pence has more in common with Trump than one might suppose. His family business, Kiel Bros. Oil Company, declared bankruptcy in 2004, leaving the states of Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois to clean up the sites they had polluted so badly. So far, Indiana alone has spent over $21 million on cleanup, and the job isn’t done yet. Meanwhile the remaining sites are polluting everything around them. Pence’s business tactics are just like Trump’s: take as much money out of the business as possible and then leave investors with nothing, or in Pence’s case leave taxpayers with the bill for cleaning up their mess. So much for his nonexistent Christian values.
