"Paul Manafort’s Flip Is A Disaster For Mike Pence"

THE ELECTION OF Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through the souls of compassionate, humane people across the country and the world. Horror that a candidate who ran on a platform of open bigotry, threats against immigrants and Muslims, and blatant misogyny will soon be president is now sinking in. Trump appointed a white nationalist, Steve Bannon, as chief White House strategist — which was promptly celebrated by the American Nazi Party and the Ku Klux Klan. Bannon and other possible extremist Trump appointees, such as John Bolton, a neocon who believes the U.S. should “bomb Iran,” and the authoritarian Rudy Giuliani, are now receiving much deserved public scrutiny.

The incoming vice president, Mike Pence, has not elicited the same reaction

George Will Calls ‘Repulsive’ Pence Worse Than Trump

By Ed Kilgore
May 10, 2018

[... to end]

And so Will hurls an anathema at the whole pack of them:

---
Because [Pence’s] is the authentic voice of today’s lickspittle Republican Party, he clarifies this year’s elections: Vote Republican to ratify groveling as governing …


There will be negligible legislating by the next Congress, so ballots cast this November will be most important as validations or repudiations of the harmonizing voices of Trump, Pence, Arpaio and the like. Trump is what he is, a floundering, inarticulate jumble of gnawing insecurities and not-at-all compensating vanities, which is pathetic. Pence is what he has chosen to be, which is horrifying.
---

Now even more than in 2016, when Will never even came close to coming to the aid of his party, the columnist is self-isolated in openly encouraging Democratic votes in November. But his contempt for Pence nonetheless signifies that if the whole Trump political enterprise comes to grief, the vice-president no longer has the reputation for independence that could make him the politician to pick up the pieces. He’s worked very hard to become Trump’s most loyal acolyte. He cannot survive the destruction of his boss’s cult.

As Donald Trump faces rising dangers, 12 religion questions for understudy Mike Pence

Trump Pence Smile

With President Donald Trump engulfed by scandal, the odds that Vice President Mike Pence will succeed him grow stronger every day. Pious where the president is profane and calm where he is chaotic, Pence is Trump’s temperamental opposite, which many find reassuring. However, his record suggests his presidency would be more divisive — on policy grounds — than the one America endures today.

During 30 years in public life, Pence established that he holds controversial views that he is willing to turn into policy. He is anti-science when it comes to evolution but he has left the impression with many that, against all medical evidence, he believes homosexuality is a disorderand can be cured. He tried to legalize discrimination against gay people in Indiana and wants a nationwide ban on elective abortions, except in cases of rape, incest or to save a woman's life.
