<snip>
Mike Pence was a young lawyer on the rise, challenging a longtime Democratic congressman in a Republican-leaning Indiana district.

And then, scandal.

Campaign finance records from the 1990 effort showed that Pence, then 31, had been using political donations to pay the mortgage on his house, his personal credit card bill, groceries, golf tournament fees and car payments for his wife.

The spending had not been illegal at the time. But it stunned voters — and undermined Pence’s strategy to portray the incumbent, Rep. Philip R. Sharp, as tainted by donations from special-interest political action committees.

“It was a brazen act of hypocrisy,” said Billy Linville, who was Sharp’s campaign manager. “It was a bombshell, for sure. .?.?. Without question, he may well have won the election if it had not been for that.”

so where is the "man of his word" tax returns he promised to release, for starters? They make it so easy. Trump thinks he will get a free pass by Biden in the upcoming debates? I know if I was Biden all my comments and replies would be filled with reminding the American people of the continued lying by trump (and his admin) on all matters

... who can't remember if he was put on standby status to assume the responsibilities of the presidency of the United States of America - something I think 99.99% of the population would recall.

Is that there are still hundreds of thousands of Americans deluded enough to believe it.

And Melanoma plagiarized Michelle Obama.

They think all these virtue signaling code words will work. They do not even realize how they appropriate Black culture to speak in code to the Whitey McFearful.

They are toast.
