Veep candidate Pence gets glowing reviews from delegates
While Ted Cruz’s non-endorsement of Donald Trump on Wednesday was the talk of the town, Republicans had glowing things to say about Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
Donald Trumps running mate received glowing reviews for his Wednesday night acceptance speech, which was overshadowed by the Cruz controversy.
“Loved him. Phenomenal,” said Cruz delegate Derek Kreifels. “He made the ticket for me.”
“I thought he knocked it out of the park,” said alternate delegate Mary Ann Waldenmeyer. “To me, he was very presidential.”
Cruz delegate Mike Howerter was very pleased particularly when Pence came out and
described himself as an unabashed conservative.
“He was humble,” Howerter said. “He was funny.”
Gov. Sam Brownback described Pence as “really down the Reagan model,” and his selection was helping the party unify.
