I'm not religious but I wonder if Pence thinks his God is punishing him for running around the country supporting such a vile human being.

Not joking. I bet he's feeling things he's never felt before.

He tried to jail a woman for having a miscarriage

He is a terrible person and not really any better than Trump. He probably thinks he's doing the right thing

I'll be honest. I'm not a fan of calling your own kid "weird" on Twitter.

It does seem off, but then you figure it's likely a term of endearment used within the house to describe his quirky personality.

Definitely does not come across well on twitter though without context.

If anything he's more likely to blame the devil for trying to stop his righteous crusade.

Emily Maitlis is a BBC news presenter on Newsnight, the most highbrow of the UK TV news programmes.

It is half-term. She has a 12-year-old son. And it would appear that her son has paid attention to Mum's job.

So first off I said since 2008. Maybe you missed that part.

Didn't miss it, it's just nonsense.

2008 was a record breaking year in terms of turnout. We had one presidential election since then. EVERWHERE had lower margins. You want to establish a trend, you'll need more elections than just the ones you were old enough to remember.

I'm also talking about margin, not number of votes because the total number of votes varies between election cycle. Obama won Pennsylvania by 10.32% in 2008 and won the country by 7.27%, a +3.05% difference. In 2012 he won it by 5.39%, while winning the country as a whole by 3.86%, a +1.53% difference. This year it looks like Hillary is going to win about the same as she does nationally. It's a slight but noticeable decrease.

This is a bizarre comparison to try to make. It ignores demographics.

Pennsylvania is whiter than the country is on average, so in a year where he loses white voters by larger margins than minorities (which is exactly what happened in 2012) that effect is going to be magnified.

Again, you need more than just 2012 to try to make the point you're making.

I used to be religious and yeah, you interpret these things as signs.

But, nothing to stop him from interpreting it as a positive sign from God. Something like, it's been a slippery path but in the end, you'll come out unharmed, maybe even better than before.

Well that's insulting. No need to to discuss this further.

Today was the first day of early voting in Maryland and it was crazy in my area! Hard to park! Long line out the door. Totally worth it to vote today though.

A vast majority—61 percent—also said they believe this election is their last chance to change direction as a country. Respondents were asked if they agreed or disagreed with this statement: “For years, the political elites have governed America for their own benefit— and to the detriment of the American people. This election is the best chance in our lives to take back our government and change course.” In response, 43 percent said they strongly agreed, 17 percent somewhat agreed, 14 percent somewhat disagreed, 20 percent strongly disagreed and 6 percent didn’t know. That means 61 percent in total agreed, while 33 percent in total disagreed.
