Pence Begins Damage Control in Midwest

https://politicalwire.com/2018/07/11/pence-begins-damage-control-in-midwest/

"SNIP........

“Vice President Mike Pence begins a campaign swing through the Midwest on Wednesday designed to fire up the base in three battleground House districts. But there’s also a secondary mission: damage control,” Politico reports.

“In the face of a trade war that intensified just four days ago, Pence is quietly setting up one-on-one meetings with major Midwestern donors where he is prepared to blunt concerns over an escalating situation that’s beginning to wreak havoc on markets, farmers and employers across the region.”

I really don't think the farmers are going to care about the Supreme Court pick or the tax cuts when they're at risk of losing their livelihoods.

Caterpillar moving to Russia. Harley Davidson to who knows where? Probably Russia? You mean all those folks who said that it was ok that Trump sucks up to Putin because Putin is our friend now don't want Putin to get their jobs and Pence is having to remind that that they really do want Putin to get their jobs?

Directly across the street. It was simple and to the point :The Mike Pence Sausage Fest. Sausages were served, rainbow flags flying and a sea of drag queens. Any leftover food was donated to a local homeless shelter.

There's talk of building effigies similar to the baby Trump balloon when he comes to town on the 24th to campaign for Josh Hawley.
