What a moron. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...esident-mike-pence-better-20170816-story.html One of the chief liberal concerns about Pence was voiced in June by Democratic Senator Al Franken of Minnesota, who told the International Business Times that Pence, "in terms of a lot of domestic policy certainly would be worse than Trump." He went on to point out that Pence was instrumental in promoting some of Trump's worst Cabinet appointees. If Pence was indeed responsible for dreadful Cabinet picks such as the Environmental Protection Agency's Scott Pruitt, then President Pence surely couldn't do any worse than Vice President Pence already did. Likewise, Pence's domestic policy priorities have largely been adopted by Trump, whose political survival may depend on continued support from Christian conservatives. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, who was confirmed by the Senate in April, is the kind of smart, rigid conservative Pence would've nominated himself. On social issues such as abortion or transgender rights, it's hard to see where Pence would've differed from Trump, who reinstituted restrictions on international abortion funding and tweeted a ban on transgender troops without even consulting the Pentagon.
