or dirty politics.
Look at the underhanded crap he pulled in Indiana. This guy is perfectly capable of dirty tricks on his own.

Not to mention his brothers business. However, I'm sure Mueller isn't buying his Christian stick, and will file if it's found.

Far more dangerous than tr-dump....
Projects a demeanor of fairness and levelheadedness but an old time strict Fundamentalist Evangelical Christian Zealot. No tolerance, no acceptance, no patience with anyone who does not ascribe to his God Fearing religious doctrines.
He believes God reigns supreme over American Democracy. The people and the government should submit entirely to this conception of thought and America would become a Divine and wonderful place for those who do not resist. Pence's goal and ambition is to create a Kingdom for God to Rule here on Earth and a total state of bliss would overcome us.

Whos crooked now?
During a failed 1990 congressional run, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Donald Trumps newly announced running mate, used nearly $13,000 in campaign funds for a slew of personal purposes, including paying down his mortgage and covering golf tournament fees.
The then 31-year-old lawyer didnt break any laws at the time but Pences questionable ethics outraged voters and ultimately prompted the Federal Election Commission to crack down on politicians who abuse their campaign funds, the Washington Post reported.
If youre giving money to Mike Pence, youre paying his mortgage! Billy Linville, campaign manager for Pences rival, incumbent Democrat Philip R. Sharp, screamed at a 1990 press conference after news of the spending spree broke.
