I just see Pence as the only one of the four, running for the two highest offices, as someone who might lead with a firm confidence and without the attacking rhetoric that comes so easily to the other three.
I see, Ski.
I heard Pence putting out a lot of attacking rhetoric in that VP debate, as did Kaine. Pence also did a lot of lying and denying when questioned about Trump's attacking rhetoric.
But, I agree that Pence did it calmly and confidently. I guess we just view "attacking rhetoric" differently.
Anyway, I'm not asking why or suggesting it's a problem because we all have different priorities -- I'm just surprised (based on some of the views you and your sister have previously shared) that you don't consider a long history of anti-gay rhetoric and attempts at anti-gay legislation problematic in terms of Pence's potential to lead this country well.
