Pence must have gotten permission from his wife .

[anthonyvasquez]

Pence is highly qualified, but he has no chance against Trump. Christie has no chance of winning the nomination.

The only reason I'm interested in Chris Christie is because I want to see a similar moment to how he killed Marco Rubio's presidential ambitions back in 2015. Hopefully, Chris Christie ends Ron DeSantis's presidential ambitions the same way he did Marco Rubio years ago, not just Donald Trump's too.

More choices, “Wild Hogs Pence” or “Chris Crispy Cream.”

I urge voters to consider NOT voting for someone who believes there is a man in the sky ordering events on Earth (and in the universe) with whom communications are possible.
