Waste of taxpayer's money by him even going as they knew that would happen. Will this nightmare end soon......

Rita, you may remember the same thing was said during the Bush #1 presidency because of Dan Quayle in the VP slot. At least Quayle displayed some independent thinking and action, even if not always well considered in advance. (How to spell potato, or is it potatoe?)

I didn't realize that was what they said about Quayle- boy does he look good now.

How would you have handled representing our flag? I am just curious because it will be a problem for whomever assumes the role in the future and there does not seem to be any constructive ideas, just complaints. I would not take the job personally. But that is probably a shared thought leading to politicians of a certain...well certain kinds of politicians anyway.

It was just a stunt by Trump's puppet.

Well, at least he had his wife along, in case he encountered any women. That's always a possibility when out in public.

Hilarious, Elmer. Yes, "Mother" had to accompany VP. It was overworked political theatre that was pathetic and transparent. The players and non too liberal media were reporting in the fake moral outrage. I just heard that in a tweet, Pence used a photo of himself and wife at the game before leaving. But, oops. Image check -- the photo was from a different football game two years ago.

Who?

;)

An image doesn't matter, I know she was there, he was away from his home. Isn't that the most preposterous thing (that she has to accompany him lest he fall to the devil's temptations) you ever heard? In the 17th century, people accused of being followers of witchcraft or other imaginary beliefs risked being burned at the stake. Has nothing more about the real world and how to act in it become general knowledge since then?

Pence is a little homophobe. Me thinks he dost protest too much.

Years ago a plumber told me he couldn't come to my house because it was against his religion to be alone in a house with a woman who wasn't his wife. I wonder if he had to limit his clients to members of his church.

Trump scares me, Pence makes me ill.

Bill Maher said on Friday night that Pence looks like one of the people who chased the von Trapp family across the Alps!

This view seems to be widely held - here's a piece from this morning's Washington Post.

Pence's Pathetic Stunt....

Quayle was an embarrassment. Potatoe is small potatoes to a lot of stuff he said. But here's a humorous one.

"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix."

Humorist Andy Borowitz on Pence's departure from the game:

Poll: Americans Hope Trump Follows Pence's Example and Leaves Early

Shouldn't this thread be on Hot Topics?

His little temper tantrum with "mother" cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars for his air travel plus the inconveniencing of all the football fans. He and Dotard knew they would kneel so it was just an expensive display of ignorance.

Pence and Trump wave the flag and talk about patriotism but would deny me my first amendment rights. Shameful. I may take a knee next time given the opportunity to support our constitution.

There are many worthy people seeking office. Support the ones that need it and don't have funding by the elite. Soon we'll have real leaders again.
