TKC NOTE: Even progressive pundits concede that the style and swagger of this GOP rising star is notable amid a competition betwixt two unlikable candidates. Take a look at what this Kansas City media power broker has to say on the topic . . .
Craig Glazer: A Star Is Born. Mike Pence.
Until the debate this week between Mike Pence Republican Vice President nominee and Tim Kaine Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, we knew just a little bit about both. Then the magic of a tv debate happened. Tim Kaine was decent no doubt, but Mike Pence, holly molly, emerged as 'The New and Future Star' of his party. Pence had the calm presence, the answers and maybe most important: HE LOOKS LIKE A PRESIDENT! Even his voice tone was pleasant and authoritative.
Hey he may be too far right for many. The fact he's a republican will of course not please any democratic folks, but boy he left that stage as a political rock star! Pence came under attack not only from Kaine but also the commentator who was clearly not a Trump fan. Kaine interrupted Pence all too often, but he not only held his own, his message was loud and strong. Pence never rattled or got upset. A lesson his boss could use, Donald Trump.
Lets be honest, Trump is trailing and as of today not likely to beat Hillary Clinton in a few weeks in November. If he loses, Trump will of course be done with politics and back to being 'Donald Trump.' However Mike Pence is likely to be the man she will face in four years, the next election.
With both Clinton and Trump drawing more negatives than positives you have to wonder: what if the Republicans would have found this guy a year ago? What if it were Pence and not Trump going up against Hillary in November? Things might be much different. You even wonder what might have happened if Trump dropped out a few months back when things got dark for him and it was Pence who faced Clinton in that first debate, which may have sealed Trump's fate.
It's become clear that America likes the nice looking,charming, candidate when possible. Pence has that 'Kennedy' thing. The guy has the looks, the presidential presence and the goods to be the next big thing in politics in America. The problem is if Trump falls he will have a long wait and running against an incumbent is always uphill. However with all Clinton's issues, if she doesn't have a great four years, then look out for Pence.
Yes Trump can say his first big move as a political leader was to choose mister hot, Pence, but again, he has come under so much media fire and he keeps saying things that don't help him. Trump was nearly even with Clinton before the debate and now has fallen back. Pence helped Trump somewhat but likely not enough. Trump needs a HUGE win Sunday night against Hillary. That will be tough with the town hall style of the debate coming up. Plus Donald just hasn't learned how to do what Pence did, stay calm, stay on the issues and not get upset. Again it may just be too late for the 'Donald.' It's just the beginning for Mike Pence.

If there was an option.
ReplyDeletePence would win the election over both Hillary and Trump today.
And here is Craig two days later saying what everyone else has already said so he had lots of quotes to steal from. once a thief always a thief. Once a snitch always a snitch.
ReplyDeletePence is a homophobe who has cost his state of Indiana over $60 million in lost revenue after he signed the anti-gay legislation. The debate never brought that up. http://www.advocate.com/religion/2016/1/26/indiana-took-60-million-hit-after-passing-antigay-law
ReplyDeleteDamn! One month before the election and we still don't have any Presidential candidates. We are really screwed now.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't understand the significance of "that Mexican thing", & he didn't understand that it was Trump's campaign, & not Hillary's, that was insult driven. This lack of understanding was nearly pathological. He's a "Christian First" which means he's divorced from reality (see above comment 3:38) & a hater.
ReplyDeleteWARNING TO 3:34 Craig Glazer was never ever a snitch he was a high ranking law enforcement officer for the Attorney General's office some 30 plus years ago. WARNING, today there are lawyers who will seek you out and sue you for lying and defaming people. They advertise on radio and tv . They will find you and Glazer could sue you and win. He can prove he was never anything but a cop, yes he once robbed dealers as in his book explains but as a fake cop before he was hired to be a real one. Dig...I know I was agent in charge when he was arrested last and we were WRONG. Guys o.k. with me.
ReplyDelete3:49 I hear all this crap bout him on radio and online. Glad to know it ain't true. I never thought that bout Glazer, hey I'd hate to run into that guy in an alley looks bad ass to me.
ReplyDeletePence sucks and so do you.
ReplyDeletePeople like Byron hate Trump and Pence because they succeeded in life while he couldn't. It used to be that the poor, pitiful poor wanted to get rich by working hard, getting an education and not take for granted the opportunities this country gives them.
ReplyDeleteNow guys like Byron want to make everyone a poor, pitiful poor loser like him. It's trickle up poverty 101. Instead of everyone from the bottom go to the top. It's now make everyone from the top come to the bottom.
Byron's right. Pence is as bad as Trump--maybe worse in terms of ideology. He lies as much as Trump. Can't understand why anyone would support Trump/Pence, but their view of Mexicans (and Mexico) is so outrageous we can only laugh.
ReplyDeleteAnd remember, Pence is a woman-hater--he wants to require funerals for miscarriages. NUT.
The only next big thing or star is born now days is in the dwindling imagination of aging boomers who's time fucking everything up that can be fucked up has come and gone.
ReplyDeleteClinton already in seclusion and resting ahead of Sunday debate
ReplyDeleteLMAO
3:49. You were the agent in charge of what? What is your real name?
ReplyDeleteTo me, like possibly a million other Kansas Citian's, he means absolutely nothing.....some guy whose dad owned a comedy club and somebody went to jail or somethin.... Shit, I'm from KC and I don't even care enough to remember.
ReplyDeleteCraig has some sort of affect on maybe .001% of the people in KC.
Given that fact, how in the world can he be described as a 'power broker?'
My thoughts exactly. But because Tony's prints his every word, he has to make him sound like a big deal.
Delete3:49 if you was wrong why was the dipshit on probation, nice try Craig but you're busted again fucking liar.
ReplyDelete4:51 + 100
ReplyDeleteMan don't know if Glazer is good or bad, but he's a big name in KC for sure...everyone I speak to when the guys name comes up, knows who he is. Just sayin.
ReplyDelete3:49 then you better warn your pal Craig that he best stop making fake comments using AJ Finney's name in here. That's called "Identity Theft" and I am willing to bet AJ would not be happy with that at all.
ReplyDeleteThe debate wasn't a fair fight to begin with. It was Mike "Race Bannon" Pence vs Tim "Creepy Clown" Kaine.
ReplyDeleteOH poor Stupid Dave ,commenting anon because he cain't take the heat anymore.
ReplyDeleteEvertime the dildo open's his cock sucker,someone,likely several folks punch him square in that stupid cock sucker of his,because he brings nothing new to the table..NOTHING.
Look ,fat man.we all know you hate Craig.i could give two shits about the dude ,myself but i dont hate him.He doesn't get on my nerves at all.he can be funnt sometimes ,other times not so much.point is ,i dont read enough of him (i spose) to see why such burning hate from you,towards him??
I do know one thing .he's a helluva lot more interesting to read than you.DAMNIT MAN, You just get you ass handed to you every time you open your stupid ,boorish ,fat face! LOL..With good reason .you are the most boring ,hateful, non-fucking-funny-fuck a guy could possibly read on TKC..IM TALKING A REAL GODDAMNDOWNER,MAN.
nOW, Tony knows this.He for damn sure knows you are not funny,that's why you dont even attempt humor.He knows that if he lets you write your mind numbingly boring little editorials, he will get a few clicks( not many) Most just saying how horrendously a drag you are.
Now,if Tony wanted to be a real prick ,to you,he'd say "hey STUPID,WRITE ME SOME FUNNY SHIT .YOU PICK THE TOPIC" bwahaha. We all know he uses you as a punching bag,just like he does Glaze BUT Big diff ,little fat buddy. Glaze can be funny.Glaze can hold your attention.Glaze has a million stories and knows how to tell em and FINALLY, GLAZE can take the punches(for the most part)LOL
you ,on the other hand are a big ol fat pussy,who apparently cant handle Glaze being a better writer ,funnier,able to laugh at himself andall this without putting people in a goddamn coma...BUT then again ,thats why Tony doesnt ask you to make us laugh.He knows you're incapable.
So you end up writing SERIOUS shit,which comes across as dull ,judgemental,boring and is just absolute GARBAGE.you inject your opinion in the comments on everything KC.YOU dont live in KC.you have never lived in KC and you never plan on living in KC..right?? OF COURSE ,IM RIGHT! LOL
Face it ,dude.you are a nobody with no talent..GIVE IT THE FUCK UP, before you get ran off,for good. or Glaze takes a notion to just kick your ass ,one fine morning..lol
I could go on ,FATMAN,but ive got shit to do.just remember this-I am never far away.I reaf TKC fairly religiously and I will always be here to call you on your shit , signed or not,I always know its you,stupid dave .
6:03 Take your fucking meds before you make everyone around you sick.
ReplyDeleteCall me crazy, I like Craig AND SuperDave.
ReplyDeleteGlazer, is one sandwich short of a picnic. If you gave him a penny for his intelligence, you’d get change.
ReplyDelete3:38 nailed it.
ReplyDelete3:38 is a far left fascist. Go back to Mizzou, douchebag.
ReplyDeleteCraig should do his homework, while the Moderator soft balled the VP Debate, much could be said of Mike Pence's DEPLORABLE record on the Mathew Shepherd Hate crime bill ,and in his own state forcing Women to have funerals for aborted fetuses.
ReplyDeleteIndiana Governor wouldn't allow a program for AIDS drugs , unless there was religious based conversion therapy program in place to offer homosexuals a way out of the lifestyle.
Mike Pence likes to remind us that he drops to his knees often.....lets hope it's not in an Airport Restroom
I was wondering where the haters went Tony. Glaze got a few articles in with no hater comments...guess they were in Branson. My oh my.
ReplyDelete6:03 I see you have set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public.
ReplyDeleteSuper Dave, remember this quote. "Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.
@ 6:03
ReplyDeleteA stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.
Total agree with you CG. Pence will be in the spotlight after Trump dumps. See him run in four years.
