As tsunami looms and Indiana in play, Pence eyes future options

Pence could have been reelected, but when Donald Trump picked him out of a tiny pool of Republicans willing to take a chance on the Trump ticket, Gov. Pence made what many believe was a career-saving leap right on to the edge of the straight razor.

Even more astonishing, informed and reliable sources tell Howey Politics Indiana that an internal Gregg poll has Clinton and Trump tied in Indiana at 44%. After endorsing U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz in the Indiana primary only to watch Trump nail him 53-36%, the specter of Pence losing his home state in what would likely be a 50-state blowout is a career-jarring prospect. Trump seemed to acknowledge a “tremendous problem” in Utah. He was asked by CNBC how he planned to reverse the trend, Trump responded, saying he simply planned to do “the same thing I’m doing right now. At the end, it’s either going to work, or I’m going to, you know, I’m going to have a very, very nice, long vacation.”

There is a chance that Indiana might go BLUE again for only the 3rd time since FDR.
