Pence, Mr/Ms Insight? PENCE??  If Clinton had "picked up Pence as VP", she would have forever lost my vote & countless others.  (Demographers I've read would consider me quite representative of the Dems' significant ElizabethWarren-ite faction.)  I don't know of any progressive Democrats who would ever vote to put an anti-choice theocrat like Pence a heartbeat away from the Presidency.  And many secular conservatives also oppose theocrats' view that THEIR religion supersedes the Constitution & can be used to dictate other people's intimate choices.

However, I like your remark about the GOP & vetting -- and the Libertarians' lack of actual plans.
