But.....Pence never really answered the question!!!! You see that as principle but I see it as more of the same ole same ole.
I think that is the heart of Trump mania. He STATES the position.
What I admire about Trump is HOW he states a position BECAUSE it reminds me of myself.
For example.
You and I are sitting at a bar having a beer, which although some will around here you refuse
I make a blanket statement, I am sick of ALL this BLM stuff. ALM!!!
You respond, well, what they are really trying to say is BLM too, and give me several non sensationalized stories of Black folks being unfairly treated in the last decade.
I respond well I wish they would respond BLM too on their signs then
BUT i walk away better informed with a more nuanced position.
Now what I see happening with Trump.
We all hear his blanket statement because it makes all the news outlets. We don't hear much of the context. However when I have went back and listened to the context and his refinements of position, they mostly remind me of how I talk sitting at the bar and how I ain't really cementing a position as much as I am throwing something out for discussion and what comes out the other end is ok enough for me.
Notice the HOW above. I don't always admire the answers. The most notable instances where I wish he would have kept his mouth shut were the Indiana Judge of Mexican Descent and the Khan family incident.
If it had been me, i would have apologized for a moment of emotion and moved on, something else I have had to do, and if he did , would probably help his numbers.
It seems when it comes to Trump, folks want someone, an outsider with all the polish of a practiced politician, who may exist.
Since the 90s the Republican party has been telling me we need a business man in the oval office because that will move our country in the right direction. Well they have their wish now.
