Donald Trump picking Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his running mate has made it easier for Jewish voters to support the Republican presidential ticket in the fall, say those who know Pence well.

Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb lobbied members of the state committee in a series of meetings at the in delegation hotel Tuesday. “We’re unified all across the bottom of the ticket and this week, I think we will prove not only to this country, but the world, and ourselves, that we’re unified all across the top, too”.
“The people of MI know what it’s like to have their state government under the control of Republicans like Mike Pence”, Dillon said in the statement.
When I first started talking to Mike Pence regularly, in 2003, he was whipping votes against the vaunted nose-counting and arm-twisting machine of the legendary Republican leader Tom DeLay.
If he was Trump’s first choice among finalists, it’s encouraging because it shows he is comfortable with a traditional conservative who strongly self-identifies as and behaves like a devout Christian.
With the boos growing in volume and intensity, Trump walked onto the convention floor, stealing the camera shots and grabbing back the prime-time spotlight.
“I like governors as running mates – it brings some real experience”, Cotter said.
Jeff Cardwell, Indiana Republican Party chairman, cast the Hoosier state’s votes for Trump during the presidential nominating process.
“The people of our state and our entire country can’t afford the risky, divisive, and failed type of leadership that Donald Trump and Mike Pence are offering”.
Denise wanted to be a delegate for one reason. “We want America to be an economic development machine, and I think from both a business and policy perspective it’s kind of what this ticket represents”.
The lieutenant governor, serving her second term with Gov. Scott Walker, applauded individual lawmakers for their work in their districts and on the campaign trail.
Before ballots were cast, Pence said during a radio interview: “I’m not against anybody, but I will be voting for Ted Cruz in the upcoming Republican primary”. “We defend one another”.
Pence described Trump as a good man whose “heart beats with the heart of the American people”. It also represents the elusive audience that Trump has been unable to court on his own. “It’s change versus status quo, and my fellow Republicans, when Donald Trump becomes President of the United States of America, the change will be huge”. A soundbite played of The Washington Post’s Robert Costa labeling the governor “an ideological pick” and noting: “If you look back at history, a lot of Republican nominees in the past, those who were more in the center, they often go to the right to try to get the right wing to come along”.
Yes, we’re still more than three months away from the 2016 presidential election, but if you’re already thinking ahead to 2020, you may get a sneak peek Wednesday.
The vice presidential nominee painted Trump as a champion of working people in the United States, of the service personnel who protect America overseas, and the law enforcement officers on the “thin blue line”.
