When asked whether he would call Duke “deplorable”, Pence answered “No, I’m not in the name-calling business Wolf. The democratic presidential nominee ruffled a few right-wing feathers when she recently made the comment that one-half of Trump supporters are “deplorable” for their support of his racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic” beliefs.

It seemed pretty obvious yesterday morning that the political world was prepared to focus nearly exclusively on Hillary Clinton’s health – probably for quite a while.
In a speech to the National Guard Association conference in Baltimore, Trump said Clinton’s comments were aimed at those in uniform, whether in the military or in law enforcement. “So what was it – 40%?”
Obama says he’s “pretty confident about where I was born, I think most people were, as well”. “People have a right to know”.
Hillary Clinton was back on the campaign trail today – and it’s not a moment too soon.
Fisher said she is not concerned about Clinton’s health the day after she abruptly left a 9/11 commemoration suffering from what was later determined to be pneumonia and she and Van Duyn downplayed the impact of Clinton’s “deplorables” remark.
And yet, Sing-A-Song-Of-Mike-Pence is confused. But Pastor Darrell Scott, the CEO of Trump’s National Diversity Coalition said Trump was pushing minority voters to re-think their assumptions about Clinton and the Democratic party by asking what they had to lose by voting for him. We’re praying for a swift recovery. I mean the – the millions of people who support Donald Trump around this country are not a basket of anything.
Pence also defended his running mate’s reluctance to release his tax returns, even though Pence himself just released reams of financial data about his own income and tax rates.
And what about Trump’s years-long campaign to uncover Barack Obama’s birth certificate?
“You can not draw a distinction between things that were said in the heat of the moment and a prepared speech in front of wealthy donors”, Pence argued, essentially invoking mens rea.
There was Pence in July, retreating from his support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, embracing Trump’s border wall and saying Mexico will “absolutely” pay for it. “I strongly support Donald Trump’s call to suspected immigration from countries compromised by terrorism”. “There’s simply no question: You can talk to charities all across the country who have benefited by the generosity of the Trump family. Whether and how she addresses these issues will, I believe, affect how many people vote – including me”, Gates wrote. A new national poll shows the Democratic nominee in a dead heat with Donald Trump, while a survey of key swing states has her trading her Republican rival in both OH and Florida. “It’s not what the American people are talking about”. In recent weeks, Trump has suggested that Clinton lacked “the stamina” to president and criticized her campaign schedule. I’ve always thought him an honorable and amiable man, and I accept his friends’ assessment that he took the job in hopes of changing Trump.

As a group of protesters high in the arena disrupted the event, Trump said, “Let me ask you this question: Is there any place in America more fun to be than a Trump rally?”
