Adults say the darndest things-Which is why at a political rally featuring Republican vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence in North Carolina on Thursday, it was an 11-year-old boy named Matthew who forced the adult on the stage into an awkward situation by asking him to explain exactly where he stands when it comes to his running mate Donald Trump. Pence answered the way nearly any politician would: by standing his ticket-mate, saying, “Sometimes things don’t come out the way that you mean them”.
Since his selection as Donald Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence has tried to stay focused on winning over conservatives skeptical of the NY billionaire.
And this week, the difference in their tones has never been more stark. Just hours after Trump attacked the family of a dead soldier on Twitter and in interviews, the campaign released a statement from Pence praising the family, saying they “should be cherished by every American”.
This is odd. It sometimes seems like the two men aren’t actually running together.
The Trump-Pence campaign previously said Pence would be making stops in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach, but 8News sister station, WAVY, got word later that the plan had changed. But if Trump loses, Pence could emerge as a possible White House contender for 2020.
In a visit to Raleigh on Thursday, Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence compared Donald Trump to Ronald Reagan.
But Gov. Pence was forced to offer a different answer.
The Republican nominee’s feud with the Khan family made for an awkward moment for Pence at a campaign event in Carson City, Nevada.
Trump’s off-the-cuff insults and controversial proposals, such as a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States and a plan to build a wall along the Mexican border to keep immigrants out, have made many in the party establishment uneasy. “I talked to Donald Trump this morning about my support for Paul Ryan and our longtime friendship”.
Schricker said he started supporting Trump shortly after he annouced his candidacy.
