Pence: Gennifer Flowers won't be at the debate
By Rebecca Savransky
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) said Gennifer Flowers, a woman with whom Bill Clinton had an extramarital affair, won't be attending the presidential debate on Monday night.
She "will not be attending the debate tomorrow night," the GOP vice presidential nominee said on "Fox News Sunday."
Pence, Donald Trump's running mate, attempted to draw a clear contrast between the policies of Trump and those of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
"Hillary Clinton apparently thinks this is an episode of 'Shark Tank' but this is America," Pence said.
"It's serious business."
Pence said Trump's tweet about bringing Flowers to the debate was "really mocking the fact that Hillary Clinton was trying to distract attention away from this moment in our national life where the American people are going to see a strong contrast between" both candidates.
Trump tweeted on Saturday that if "dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!"
Bill Clinton testified under oath in 1998 that he had a sexual affair with Flowers.
Trump was responding to billionaire Cuban, who last week said he accepted an invitation from Clinton to sit in the front row at Monday's debate.
Flowers appeared to accept Trump's invitation on Saturday.
"Hi Donald. You know I'm in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!..." she tweeted.

Pence says Washington Post reporting on Trump Foundation "has been very, very sketchy" & "have been found to be incorrect."
Pence, how does it feel to have your soul sucked out of your body?

So, he was taunted, reacted rashly, publicly and ran head-first into a trap, only to sheepishly retreat. Commander-in-chief material.

Why are you so apparently obsessed with the soul of others? Are you clergy?
Just curious.

TrumppimpPence has given up his soul to the Donald. A deal with the devil.

Not an answer to my question .... but, whatever. :shrug:

I am watching Meet the Press as I type this,and as of a few minutes before this post everyone there was in agreement that Jennifer Flowers would be there. They even discussed her appearance and compared it to the appearance by invitation of Bubbette! butt boy Mark Cuban.

Are you telling me that Meet the Press got something wrong? :laugh:

He (or in this case, they) only have a standard list of talking points to respond with. Whomever is using the handle on this shift just found the closest response that sounds like an answer.

@sinkspur
Pence has found himself having to pull Trump out of sinkholes when Trump says what he really feels and wants to actually do. Now Pence has had to get rid of Gennifer Flowers and try to save Trump's Foundation. If Trump wins, Pence will spend four years trying to save Trump from himself as he screws up the country.

No wonder you're so in love with Trump.

Interesting ... Such a lofty post makes me wonder why are you the one doing the ad-hominem attacking. :pondering:

I'm simply describing the fact of the matter. Your statement is (a) an ad-hominem because you make a personal slur as a response to a remark you do not like, and (b) is couched in terms of a "question" instead of being forthright about what it is - an attack - which makes it passive aggressive.
Now, if you want to see what an attack looks like: you're a ridiculous idiot who has clearly sold your brains and your soul to the devil to support a classic NYC liberal who has fulled the wool so far over your eyes, your toupee is now covering your toes.

I'm guessing he's a Christian. Christians are commanded to be very concerned about the souls of others.
Are you not?

Flowers still looks like she could eat a watermelon through a picket fence!

I, for one, am disappointed. The reality-show aspects of Flowers' being there are through the roof. We're being deprived.

Add a few monkey's and it would be a circus! Yuge ratings. The best.

Hey Flynn. Mark Cuban is a legitimate billionaire. All self-made. No seed money from daddy.
And he could run rings around Trump in a debate. Trump knows Cuban is smarter and that's why Cuban gets under his skin.

Pence offered his soul up willingly. Slimy, disingenuous creature that he is.

@Right_in_Virginia
Don't be ridiculous! That would be impossible.
I have to tell you that I have noticed a not so subtle shift away from Bubbette! amongst the talking heads. She is such a horrible candidate she may actually end up destroying the death grip the Dims have on our country,and I think that is sinking into their consciousness. I am GUESSING some of the movers and shakers are telling themselves,"Look,it's better to lose to Trump and not have someone with the Big Red D in the WH,than it is to let her get elected and then destroy our brand because she is both physically sick and senile to the point she has to be pumped full of drugs to even make an appearance."
Yeah,they have Kommie Kaine in the warm-up box if she were to actually die,but by the time she is hauled out of the WH and fitted for a solid gold coffin,it may be too late for them to save the Dim Party.
On the other hand,if they torpedo her appearances by asking her actual questions like those they would ask of Reagan if he were running again,the worse thing that could happen to them would be Donnie Little Hands for 4 years,and that idiot would put the final stake in the heart of the alleged Republican Party.
That is the ONLY reason I can come up with for that weasel from NBC News,Meterosexual Matt not tossing her the softballs she is accustomed to fielding. I'm still not over the shock of that.

@Applewood
Compared to Bubbette! and Donald Little Hands,Baby Hoo Hoo or whatever the hell her name is would be a better president.
I can hear her now spouting her "Let them eat sketti!" slogan.

I feel the life slipping out of me. When the pain comes, I cry out, but there is no prayer in it, only fear. I kneel and recite my office and the Rosary but the words are empty - dry gourds rattling in the silence. The dark is terrible and I feel so alone. I see no signs but the symbols of contradiction. I try to dispose myself to faith, hope and charity, but my will is a blown reed in the winds of despair.”

.. Trump knows Cuban is smarter....
@sinkspur
You say that like it is something remarkable. I have at least one hammer that is smarter than Trump,and even he is smarter than Bubbette!
I am fairly certain that if you could separate both of them from their prepared statements,handlers, and ear pods, you would be shocked at how stupid and un-informed both of them are.
-
Pence is the perfect pooper scooper.
-
I'd just point out how amateur Trump's handlers seem to be.
If you want to use Flowers for maximum impact, you don't trial balloon her in the media. You simply give her a seat in the front row without ever telling anyone she will be there. That way, when the media and Hillary realize it, it's too late and she's already on TV, Hillary is already knocked off her game and you win.
Which of course is exactly why they didn't. All they did is throw red meat to the faithful, take it away, and solidify the idea that their guy actually did something meaningful when in fact, he helped his 'opposition'.
-
The reasoning for Flowers being a tit for tat for Mark Cuban is still the head scratcher. Is there some Donald Trump/Mark Cuban affair in the closet we are about to find out. (I hope this one breaks Rule 34).
