Pence is a fucking IDOIT Charlatan Pence! The worse representation of the U.S. He's avoided more than that question. As Vice President there are many things he's avoided. He's lurking behind Trump, awaiting his turn to drive the ship. He UNDERSTANDS the GAME. He's playing his position in hopes that the Republican 'base' rewards him.
