INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence’s pick to take his place as Indiana governor isn’t guaranteeing he’ll vote for Donald Trump.
Republican Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he has always intended to support the GOP presidential ticket, but that he’ll now evaluate how he’ll vote over the coming weeks.
Holcomb says Pence hasn’t pressured him to support Trump following the release Friday of Trump’s crude comments about groping women.
Holcomb became the GOP nominee for governor in July after Pence dropped his re-election campaign to become Trump’s running mate.
No Republican officials in Indiana have publicly retracted their support for Trump. The campaign of U.S. Rep. Todd Young, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, says he is still supporting Trump despite “deep reservations.”

REALLY? It’s amazing to me that this appears to be the mindset of many Republicans who are in office or running for one. Mr. Trump has not spent his entire adult life in public politics. He’s been a private citizen trying to better himself. Isn’t that the American dream? Why isn’t Republican Lt. Gov. Eric Holcomb speaking out against Hillary Clinton’s public record? Or is that not being covered by main stream media. I realize being a public figure or private citizen ensures differences in media scrutiny but isn’t this just a reality show on steroids? Focus on what’s good for America. If you don’t like the choices than you may have to choose the lessor of two evils. I, for one, cannot support Hillary Clinton.
Mr. Eric should get his marbles and go home. We are not electing a Priest, Pastor or Missionary however we are voting for the Republican nominee who got more votes than any other candidate. If Erie had watched the debates and the princes wants to stack the supreme court with judges that fit her liberal views, open borders, go after the second amendment, murder babies who have cannot defend themselves. Eric should read some of the books that have written about the princes and how she cursed her employees (State Troopers, white house employees) using language that is far worse than the words Mr. Trump used. How does Eric expect to be elected as governor when he cannot support the candidate the people chose. That is what is wrong with politicians, they deny the people’s choice. 66% of the people are against the fraud Obama care but it was jammed down our, well you know.
