...he's whining again. As I stated, if he wins the nomination,
I'll vote for him but...I'm much happier that Biden seems on
the track to win the prize.

Something I've noticed:

Seems the primary reason Biden supporters, including the former
contenders who have endorsed him, give for for their support
is that Biden has the "best chance" of beating Trump in the
election.

They don't speak much about *why* Biden would be a good
POTUS, just that he has the best chance of beating Trump.

Biden is scary and frankly, he doesn't look very healthy.
If he gets the nod, his choice for VP is going to be
very important.

Isn?t he eyeballing Beto for a running mate ?

I think he'll pick a female for a running mate, and I'm hoping
it'll be Amy Klobuchar.

I think Kamala Harris may be hiding in the wings also.

Probably, and both of them believe in science, which is several
steps higher on the evolutionary scale than Pence.

I don't know much about Pence's personal beliefs other than he has
expressed strong religious faith.

But I've seen *nothing* in any of his
statements as VP that suggests he has no belief or faith in science.

Claims that he doesn't respect science is yet another example of the
Fake News BSÂ* perpetrated by those who don't like Trump.

Pence has a history as governor of Indiana of letting his bizarre
religious beliefs interfere with proper governance that involved
science.

Sure he has.Â* Says who?Â* You?

Given your demonstrated prejudices in both political and religious
subjects, your claims are hardly credible.

Pence, who was the governor of Indiana, initially rejected advice for
his state allowing a clean-needle exchange, despite the advice of health
officials.

In 2000, Pence published an op-ed in which he said it was ?time for a
quick reality check? over what he claimed was overblown hysteria about
the effects of smoking cigarettes.

?Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking
doesn?t kill,? he wrote, before citing smoking statistics.

Despite scientific evidence that shows condoms are ?highly effective? in
reducing the spread of sexually transmitted disease, Pence told CNN?s
Wolf Blitzer in 2002 that condoms are a ?very, very poor protection
against sexually transmitted disease?.

During the segment, Pence added that he believes the only ?truly safe
sex? is ?no sex?.

Again, your comments are general in nature and do not accurately reflect
(or even cite) the *reasons* Pence took some of the positions he did.

They weren't based on religion. They were based on science and some
common sense.

If smoking kills, why are all the new laws allowing marijuana smoking being
allowed? Maybe something else than the smoking part kills you.

Cannabis and tobacco smoke are not equally carcinogenic.

But the comment was smoking kills. Not the tobacco, the drugs, etc. The
smoking.

My bad. For smoking to kill, one must be smoking something. I assumed you
were comparing cigarettes
to marijuana. To what were you referring?

I was being facetious.
