Pence is a complete moron. Cheney was evil but not stupid. Mike Pence, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s running mate, told the news media at a press conference Thursday that he no longer wants to be called a vice presidential candidate.
The Indiana governor, an evangelical Christian, explained that he opposes the word “vice” on religious grounds. Pence said that the Bible has strict prohibitions against vice. He said the word “vice” means, among other things, “immoral” or “wicked behavior.”
“That’s not who I am, and that’s not who I want people to think I am,” he said. “I can’t in good faith willingly condone a word I find deplorable without violating my Christian principles.”  You can't make this shyte up... HuffPo

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Absolutely. Bow We don't need a Hitler-esque demigod like Trump in the White House. Yeah, especially if back up by Dick Cheney wannabe, Mike Pence. I saw that. So Mike Pence aspires to be a Dick Cheney wanna-be. Such low standards these days.

Pence and Trump are on the same page in this regard. Trump doesn't want to DO the job, and Pence is willing to play Dick Cheney to Trump's Bush, i.e., do it for him. We saw how well that worked the last time: a war of convenience costing trillions in treasure, the genesis of ISIS, economic meltdown. Yeah, I want more of that.

HuffPoPerhaps Pence should read-up on something called the Separation of Church and State and get over it.

Unfortunately Rick, conservatives only know what they can read, literally. Thus there is no subtext or supratext.
Since there is no prohibition against it in the Constitution and the religious nuts believe America is God's chosen country, it stands to reason there is no separation between Christianity and the federal government.
This is also how they argue the case for their "religious freedom" i.e. the Constitution does not prohibit the discrimination against sexual preference therefore Christians may write law to discriminate.
What does Mr Pence want to be called? .... Mr blanking president?

Article 6 of the Constitution contains: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.[ It was in the original Constitution, not added in The Bill of Rights.

I suspect English language is not taught in Indiana. (Neither is science, math, history, geography...) The difference between a noun and an adjective used in compound form - vice-_____ - (originally from the Latin, genitive, preposition vicis which means instead of, in place of) is too difficult for a mental midget to absorb.
