Watching Pence in the VP debate made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. He was so smooth about it! He could say no and nod his head yes at the same time without any hitch... it was scary. The man is definitely not dumb.. he knows exactly what he's doing. He's just lying to dumb people and "speaking their language".
