17. Man you don't compare this to a natural disaster but the Governor is responsible for how he reacts

even to a natural disaster & he is responsible for the agencies under him as well as the people he hired to run them.

You are totally ridiculous in your zealous defense of Pence for whatever your reason. This is a manmade disaster.

Again, he was & is the Governor & as to what totally he is responsible for we do not & will not know until further in the investigation but yes, he is responsible which is probably why he is hiding from it.

Now go try to get a job with his Admin, he would like you I am sure.

As for clueless, you are showing yourself to have that marker with your saying has absolutely no responsibility in this matter.

What do you think a Governor is; a CEO is; POTUS is. When you take on those jobs, you take on the responsibilities that go with them as well & that included disasters like this & especially one like this.
