In reply to the discussion: trump's head must be exploding this morning, [View all]calimary
(89,703 posts)and problematic stint as Indiana governor - where his myopic and 6th-Century thinking brought a lot of negative coverage to his state as well as to himself. Remember that behind-closed closed-to-the-media/behind-closed-doors stunt where he signed some anti-gay-rights bill with a handful of priests, nuns, and at least one "Friar Tuck" monk posing for the photo? If I remember correctly, he served one term and then was out. Then trump came along and (I suspect) met the whitest-looking white guy he'd ever seen, and the sale was finalized.
He LOVES donald trump. donald trump made him Vice President for Pete's sake. He NEVER would have gotten that far or risen that high otherwise. Probably never dreamed that he'd wind up living in the Naval Observatory (the VP's official residence)! Yep, Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas (OR Indiana for that matter) anymore.
He gratefully and happily strapped on his presidential kneepads and probably considered having them surgically attached. donald got him to the BIG TIME. So he's gonna be loyal to the bitter end.
And it's gonna leave a mark on him for whatever remains of his erzatz "career." Just like it'll leave a mark on ANYBODY who followed, obeyed, or otherwise worshipped the donald.
We just did an ask urging the condemnation of all the CON quislings by our Dems, INCLUDING those who believe it's important to fraternize with the enemy (talkin' 'bout YOU, Kurt Schrader, and your "Problem Caucus"!).
