LOL ! !
Pence cant call David Duke "deplorable" because he knows many of trump's followers are just as scummy !
And then a "connection" might be made between the two.
Hilarious !

Trump and Pence are saving "Deplorable" with which to label Clinton.

Well, that almost proves Clintons point

Donnie has destroyed Pence's political career.

After seeing the video, Trump's waffling and Pence's tacit approval of Duke are going to end up in an ad real quick

[LLR]

Pence is a bigot, but we knew that already.

[Southern Delegate matthew27]

Sad,

Trump and a lot of people in his base are deplorable and stick their foot in their own mouths every 5 seconds...

[dspNY]

Pence is a bigot, but we knew that already.

A lot of people didn't though...in polling about a third of Americans did not know who Pence was. Now they know

[Fargobison]

I mean seriously I get Donald screwing that up because he is a lazy political amateur but Pence is smart/experienced enough that he should be able to knock that hanging curve of a question out of the park.

It gets more painful to be associated with Mike Pence everyday. I really hate Trump's advisors for this atrocity. He knew so much better. And this is what we get stuck with.

That question is a layup, just say yes and then spin (from his perspective). Waffling proves Clinton's point. Now Trump and Pence are going to end up in a TV ad with David Duke

[cinyc]

According to the tweets, Pence responded that he's not in the name calling business and that both he and Trump reject David Duke's support.  "I'm not in the name calling business" and we reject his support isn't the same thing as no.

So Clinton is worse than David Duke?

You have to go back to school

Pence is one of the best Vice Presidential candidates in the history of the United States.

He made no gaffes in the CNN interview.

Clinton is the one who has viscously and hatefully degraded millions of ordinary, hard working, tax paying Americans.

Millions of ordinary, hard working, tax paying Germans voted Nazi in 1932.

That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

[Fargobison]

I don't think you need to get into the name calling business to call David Duke deplorable. That is exactly what he is. This isn't a difficult concept to grasp.

I've heard people say that the whole HRC "deplorable" thing was some kind of trap but I didn't expect Pence was the one that would fall into it.

So you are now comparing millions of hard working, tax paying Americans to the German population of 1932.  

Shame on you.

I think his point is that decent, hard-working people can be drawn to evil acts through persuasion and inculturation...unless you're arguing that there is some inherent genetic trait that makes Germans susceptible to this, but not Americans?  If not, what are you arguing?

It's not like the German population in 1932 was especially evil, racist, or anti-Semitic. Very few of them had even fully read Mein Kampf. Instead, they found themselves in tough times and an anti-establishment politician came along with an uncanny ability to tap into their resentment and anger and he gained an almost fanatical base of support.

Lincoln Republican,
Hillary did not call the "ordinary" Americans among us deplorables.
What the hell are you talking about ?
I thought you were one of the Atlas-blue avatars that could decipher 1+1.
