printMike Pence is so weak, so stylistically establishment. Chris Christie may be establishment neoconservative to the marrow, but in temperament; he offers fireworks and is quick on his big feet. I can just imagine how Christie would have reacted to this attack dog of a woman:
… at a town hall in this Nevada town on Monday night, the Republican vice presidential nominee got the question — from a mother of an active Air Force staff sergeant:
‘Time and time again Trump has disrespected our nation’s armed forces and veterans — and his disrespect for Mr. Khan and his family is just an example of that,’ Catherine Byrne, the mother of Raymond Harmon, who is currently deployed in the Persian Gulf, said to Pence. ‘Will there ever be a point in time when you’re able to look Trump in the eye and tell him ‘Enough is enough?’ You have a son in the military. How do you tolerate his disrespect?’ …
… Mike Pence had only released a text statement in the more than 48 hours since Donald Trump questioned the mother and father of fallen U.S. solider Humayun Khan. He had avoided cameras and questions on Monday during his travels to Nevada after a weekend at home in Indianapolis.
The woman, sainted because she has a son in the military, was whining about Muslim Brotherhood devote and Hillary Clinton attack dog Khizr Khan :

Crazy looking #KhizrKhan thinks waving the #Constitution proves Constitution negates Muslim immigration moratorium. https://t.co/3oZpiqQ0sC

Pence “went on to claim that Trump supports veterans ‘like no other leader in my lifetime.'”
“The only other thing I would say to you is having spent time with our nominee, I have never been around someone more devoted to the armed forces of this country, more devoted to the families of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marine and coast guard and no one more devoted to the veterans in this country,” Pence said without any real evidence for such hyperbole. “Donald trump supports our soldiers and supporters our veterans like no other leader in my lifetime.”
That’s it?! How feeble!
Trump is unorthodox. Let him fire Pence and start afresh.
Beef up on Mike Pence:
“The Pence Omen: Pro Wars, Pro Islam, Not-So-Pro-Private Property.”
“Get Off Your Knees, Gov. Pence! (You’re Not In A Gay Bathhouse).”
