"Pence says Clinton is admirable" - SteveG - 10-06-2016

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence on Thursday offered rare praise for Hillary Clinton, saying both the Democratic presidential nominee and Donald Trump have "many admirable qualities" for young people to look up to.
The modest compliment, what passes for civility in this rough-and-tumble campaign, came as Pence fielded a question that tripped up another Republican earlier in the week: Is Donald Trump a role model for children?
"I frankly think both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have many admirable qualities that young people can look up to," Pence said in an interview on NBC's "Today" show. Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte made news this week by initially answering yes, but then issuing a statement hours later changing her answer to no.
Pence, the Indiana governor and former congressman praised the Republican businessman's resilience and called him a "strong leader." He then quickly added a nod to the opposition: "And I want to recognize Hillary Clinton as the first woman to be major party nominee in American history," he said.

Pence is the equivalent to Cheney. don't think for a minute he doesn't have sinister plans for his vision of what America should be.

I'm donating mine to the Trump Golden Pyramid Presidential Library.
Is there a matching Pence set?

I enjoy talking with reasonable people who have diverse political opinions and who can be adversarial to my own. Surprisingly, they do exist, though in lesser and lesser numbers. While I might for a moment consider Pence as one of those people, because of his seemingly calm demeanor in the debate, I quickly reject that when I think about what he has done. No way this man is reasonable, his positions are extreme, and given the chance to reject Trumpism, he choose instead to embrace it to its fullest. F him.

Since Pence also thinks his running mate is someone kids can look up to, what good is it if he says the same about anyone else?
Similarly, this is truly a strange election season when complimenting a candidate within your party nets you serious criticism, as Kelly Ayotte got when she answered that question and then walked it back to claim neither Trump nor Clinton would be good role models.
For conservatives, Trump and Clinton are seen "as equals." Too bad for Trump, he can't find a piece of duct tape to stick a compliment to himself from his own party.
