Mike Pence responds to Kirsten Gillibrand in Green Bay, Wisconsin

Senator Gillibrand is totally wrong to claim that Donald Trump and I didn't learn anything from our mistakes in our leadership in the last four years. Take a look to Syria, for example, President Trump was once sceptic about regime change in Syria until the Khan Shaykhun chemical attack during which the Assad regime killed 100 innocent people and wounded 557. So we responded to this tragedy by launching missile strikes against military positions of the Assad regime to make sure that such tragedies will never happen again. On Afghanistan, Trump was originally planning to withdraw our troops from there but we convinced him that this was not the right moment for this due to the terrorist threat there. So in order to defeat radical Islamic terrorism in Afghanistan, President Trump decided to deploy additional troops there.

When it comes to your excuse for your shifting positions, you declared that it is only to become right on the issues. That is exactly what John Kerry and Mitt Romney used as an argument while running for President in order to justify their shifting positions. When it comes to your original position on the Iraq War, which you have once supported, let me tell you this : a Commander-in-Chief needs to be clear, both to our allies and our enemies, about where you stand and what you mean. And yet you chose to surrender in Iraq and allow terrorism to take control of Iraq that was once a safe haven of terrorism under Saddam Hussein. But under with Donald Trump, we worked hard to keep America safe by rebuilding our military and working with our allies and as a result, thanks to our airstrikes against ISIS and to the provision of weapons and military training to the Kurds and the Peshmerga, we managed to totally eliminate ISIS in Iraq and I will work hard to do the same in Syria.

Kirsten Gillibrand Runs Ad “Safe” in New York, California, Connecticut, and New Jersey

“Our teachers shouldn’t be bodyguards. They should not be routinely expected to take a bullet because Congress is frozen due to NRA spending against anyone with nuanced views on guns.”



“Mass shooting after mass shooting, we send our thoughts and prayers with no policy change. I say enough.”



“I grew up around guns, and responsible gun owners, however, we can not sit back and allow our schools to become a place of fear. We need common sense measures against assault rifles, closing of loopholes allowing assailants to acquire weapons, and restrictions on gun shows.”



“I’m Kirsten Gillibrand, and I support this message because our schools should be safe places for all of our children.”

Kirsten Gillibrand Runs Ad “Extreme” Nationwide

“Mike Pence started his career by attacking a children’s movie because it had a message in favor of gender equality.”



“As governor, he prevented localities from raising their minimum wage, he supported guns on school campuses, and defunded Planned Parenthood, leading to an AIDS crisis in the state of Indiana.”



“Kirsten Gillibrand supported Medicare-For-All, LGBTQ rights, and protections of women’s healthcare since day one of her career in public service.”



“I’m Kirsten Gillibrand, and I support this message, because we’ve come too far as a country for ideas so extreme to lead us.”

Mike Pence's « Untested, Inexperienced and Unprepared » ad airs in Wisconsin, Wyoming, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Indiana, Oregon, California, New Jersey and New Mexico


Narrator : Joaquin Castro doesn't have the experience, judgement and background to lead this nation.


He opposes combat operations in Afghanistan despite the terrorist threat roaming this country for a very long time and despite the threat imposed to America by terrorism as we saw in San Bernardino and Orlando.



In Congress, Castro supported Obama's Iran nuclear deal that lowered sanctions against Iran and handed billions and billions of dollars to the world's largest state-sponsor of terrorism, thus giving them the necessary money to provide terrorist organizations in weapons and to develop nuclear weapons to threat America and its allies.



Now Castro is attacking his rivals who are supporting NAFTA, but he doesn't seem to remember that he has himself supported NAFTA.


Castro's speech at the Austin Chamber Boardroom : « I said very clearly that we should not allow NAFTA to be terminated. Texas has seen great benefits from NAFTA. It would be a very hard hit to Texas economy if it were to go away. »


Narrator : By opposing, NAFTA, Castro has demonstrated that he doesn't know how the economy works and forgot the benefits of free trade, because free trade benefits the U.S. economy by making America an easier place to do business, reinforces America's competitiveness in the world economy and allows U.S. businesses to make direct investments into foreign economies to produce goods at a lower cost in these environments.


Joaquin Castro, inexperienced and unprepared for the post of Commander-in-Chief.


But Mike Pence has all the necessary experience for the job of President of the United States.


As Governor of Indiana, he reduced the local income tax by 5 percent and killed the inheritance tax. By signing Senate Bill 1, he permitted Indiana counties to eliminate the business personal property tax on new equipment and let them exempt small businesses with less than $20,000 worth of equipment from paying personal property taxes.


Along with President Trump, he worked hard to provide the largest tax cuts in American history, thus contributing to massive job creation and to a reduction of unemployment rate at a historic rate.



He worked with Donald Trump to rebuild our military, to fight terrorism and to provide our allies, including the Kurds, all the necessary weapons and military training to fight terrorism, thus eliminating ISIS in Iraq and almost in Syria.


And it is also under Pence's watch as Vice-President that North Korea denuclearized.


The choice for this election : untested leadership, inexperience and risky policies or proven experience and leadership that will keep moving America forward.

Mike Pence : I'm Mike Pence and I approve this message.

Steve Shepard: The last few weeks have also had its moments with the Biden campaigns falling apart with close advisors telling the media that if Biden can't win tonight that you should expect a concession and Pence's choice of Rep. Dave Brat to be VP. Now it is 9:00 pm on the eastern coast and we are getting results from three states, Wyoming, Wisconsin and the all-important New York.

Wyoming Caucus Results (0.7%)
Sherrod Brown: 38%
Derek Jeter: 24%
Joe Biden: 16%
Joaquin Castro: 15%
Kristen Gillibrand: 11%

Steve Shepard: Wyoming is too early to call with the leader being Brown which could be where Biden's working-class voters went.

Wisconsin Primary Results (5.6%)
Sherrod Brown: 43%
Kristen Gillibrand: 27%
Derek Jeter: 15%
Joe Biden: 8%
Joaquin Castro: 7%

Steve Shepard: Sherrod Brown has won the Wisconsin Primary

New York Primary Results (0.04%)
Kristen Gillibrand: 48%
Derek Jeter: 31%
Joaquin Castro: 11%
Sherrod Brown: 7%
Joe Biden: 4%

Steve Shepard: New York is yet another too early to call with Gillibrand leading the pack with only one other strong challenge from former Yankee's player Derek Jeter.

Steve Shepard: Breaking News, we have just heard from multiple field staffers in New York and Wyoming from the Biden that they have received word from the campaign manager that Biden will concede the race tonight in less than an hour. This isn't a huge surprise since, in the last two weeks, Biden's campaign fell apart after a very a good few months. This, however, is a big change with many of his voters not knowing where to go

Wyoming Caucus Results (1.9%)
Sherrod Brown: 39%
Derek Jeter: 27%
Joaquin Castro: 17%
Joe Biden: 11%
Kristen Gillibrand: 10%

Steve Shepard: We are still calling Wyoming to close to call but Brown was the only candidate to actually visit Wyoming which gave him the edge and you can see a lot of former blue-collar supporters of Biden have gone to the Brown camp at least for tonight.

Wisconsin Primary Results (11.2%)
Sherrod Brown: 41%
Kristen Gillibrand: 31%
Derek Jeter: 16%
Joaquin Castro: 7%
Joe Biden: 5%

Steve Shepard: Brown has won the Wisconsin primary but the results are getting much closer between Gillibrand. The gap that was around a 16% point lead by Brown but it still remains above 10% and you will see that continue if he continues to have strong leads around the suburban areas that we expected Gillibrand to carry

New York Primary Results (0.7%)
Kristen Gillibrand: 55%
Derek Jeter: 32%
Joaquin Castro: 6%
Sherrod Brown: 5%
Joe Biden: 1%

Steve Shepard: At this time we believe that Gillibrand has a strong enough,  lead in Manchester, Queens and Brooklyn to win the state of New York. Now let's look deeper at what happened there tonight. Right now, I am bringing up the 2016 Democratic primary results and 2018 governor results:


Now, on the left is 2016 with Clinton-Gold and Sanders-Green while the right side is 2018 with Cuomo who himself was preparing a 2020 run till Gillibrand ran being blue and Cynthia Nixon being gold. Now, Gillibrand has repeated Cuomo victory in the New York City area except having it much closer in New York City with Jeter. That is how we knew she would win and she ran a very good campaign upstate which helped pull down some of those margins you are seeing upstate for Jeter which are much lower than Sanders had in 2016. Now, Jeter did run a very well-oiled campaign in New York and you can tell by how many Cuomo upstate counties he flipped but Gillibrand is a force to be reckoned with and she was able to hold onto those Cuomo very well. Now, I am going to look at Castro results. Both Brown and Biden won't be able to make it to 15% but Castro might but he must start overperfroming in upstate because his only strong area is the New York City area and he is only polling around 16% or 17% there.
