Is Matt Drudge OK?

Apparently, the Drudge report was the first the break the news that a paternity test proved that the supposed lovechild of Bill Clinton and a former Arkansas prostitute was not in fact his son. In 1999.

Pence's negatives are not going to disappear 4 years from now, and what positives he managed to show in this debate are not going to win this campaign for Trump. Best case scenario is this makes Pence a front-runner in 2020 and all the poo poo Kaine punted on here can be used against him then. The Republicans are not going to win any more presidential elections by depending on the religious right, and tying them to it for another election cycle can only be good for Democratic prospects.

The narrative is already changing on the debate. People are cottoning onto the fact that Pence spent a whole lot of time lying about Trump, which is already getting airplay. People are already talking about how Trump is likely angry at Pence for his performance. It's looking like a loss in the moment but a win for the week.

The only people who watch the VP debates are the junkiest pol junkies. Everyone else is going to get this debate in bite sized chunks, where the interruptions wont be played for lack of good soundbites. On the other hand, Pence is going to look absolutely awful pleading amnesia when contrasted with the clips of all the various things he denies Trump said.

Nothing like launching your campaign with obvious lies that can be played over and over again in perpetuity alongside the evidence. But hey, who knows, maybe the evangelicals embrace cloning over the next few years and repopulate themselves enough to sweep Pence to victory!

The Trumpster base is apparently cross with him over his Putin comments. Pence is the very model of an far right evangelical, a group so worthless and depleted now that they couldn't even get their guy through the primaries. With all the absolute poo poo on his record, what with fetal funerals and all, he is a prime candidate to be a tomato can in 4 years. You couldn't ask for a better opponent, except possibly another attempt by Trump.

Pence's career has shown that he never lets little things like most people hating what he thinks get in the way of gathering more power. So long as he has Trump to compare himself to, he figures that he can shine hard enough that the GOP will latch onto him.

If Trump managed to lower expectations so much that 4 years from now, a conventionally terrible republican has a shot solely on the basis that he isn't Trump, things could get ugly. But demographics should likely do a decent job of protecting us from that, as while the white male conservative voters will forgive and forget, minority groups and women will not, and they will be even stronger than they are now as a voting bloc.

That's not to say you are wrong. Pence likely comes out of this with a better look than he had going in, though I wouldn't necessarily bet on it. Trump seems to be a career killer for Republicans, and I would have sworn Cruz was getting out of this cycle smelling like roses as compared to the rest of the party and he basically committed suicide by endorsement.

There's no loving way he goes to the third one, right? He's going to get clowned on this Sunday, and NOBODY will believe that he can win anymore, not even himself.

I'm so happy that I keep randomly giggling, this has been such a great day

What excuse does he have to skip it though? If he's still running, he has to show or look even worse. Looking like a complete coward is the last thing he could probably do to reduce what little base he has left looking to vote for him.

Also, in order to be able to call the results of the election a fraud, he has to at least pretend he is still viable.

The Republican's dumping him now gives every die hard Trumpeteer all the ammunition they need to declare the Party as a whole to be the reason for his loss. This further drives the divide between them and the rest of the party and also allows for the narrative that Trump could have won if those Rino's hadn't turned on him when he most needed them. This is going so well.

No one who ever endorsed Trump is fit for public office.

That's the beautiful part though. Ayotte and the like still need the nastiest of the Trump supporter's, so a disavowal of Trump is a disavowal of all those people who took on Deplorable as a badge of honor.
