Latino Twitter not happy w/ Pence. Pissed as hell w/ "You whipped out that Mexican thing" comment. Metio la pata. (Stuck his foot in mouth).

2. Yep. That comment was jarring to me and I'm not even Mexican.

Among the many lies Pence was telling, this one really stood out. My jaw literally dropped.

5. 100% agree! Repubs act like they're not, but they *are* the Party of racism, bigotry,

misogyny, and White power nationalism uber alles.

Some are clever in how they disguise it, but each and every one is a Trump. He's just the most blatant and in-your-face about it, and that's why they're panicking. Every Millennial already not an aspiring grand wizard themself, should vote for Hillary Clinton this November, and stop with the laissez faire attitude on presidential and midterm elections.

They should know that, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Clearly, though, the Republicans' message of White-power has been successful with their low-informed, low-IQ supporters because Trump easily won from his 16 contenders. This, and the fact that many sane Republicans are planning to vote for Hillary Clinton, should tell everyone exactly what the Republican Party has become - ex-Grand Wizard of the KKK, David Duke's, wet dream.

He will end up with the exact same demographic as Trump has today.
His base will not change.
He hasn't yet been held to defend his own disgusting record. 2020 Dems will have So Much To Work With, just using Pence's own words. Just like they did with Trump.

I hope Pence really is the GOP 2020 nominee in this case.

8. I don't know if he lost the Latino vote, but he sure as heck lost the Mexican vote.

And it's clear that he's pimped himself as the 2020 contender for the GOP. Oh man, but Hillary will make minced meat out of him just using his lies against him - which are all on video.

Clearly, he wasn't at the debate for Don-the-Con. He knows this election is over for the orange man-child. He was clearly putting himself on the national stage for 2020 - as if the Republican Party ever has a chance to win the White House again.

3. Like Trump, he has little regard for anyone that is not a WASP. Pence is deplorable and that ending

to the debate where he was so concerned about the "unborn" children made me want to vomit. He was trying to keep from crying. He should be crying about all of the people who have suffered under Trump so far. People better be jumping all over him today for the Mexican comment and more.

6. I just LOVE when a Republican MALE claims to be "pro-life" while in the same breath supports war

and sending men and women into harm's way just to show how macho-strong they are. Or that they support the death penalty in a flawed American judicial system that has sent a lot of innocent men to their deaths just because they couldn't afford a high-priced defense attorney and had to settle with a weak public defender.

Clearly, they're not pro-life. They're anti-woman, which supports and is in line with their misogynistic personalities.
