In response to Stone's tweet, someone wrote, "He's high on Koch :)" Another tweet read, "I'd like to see him really file. Then he can see how much people dislike him." Someone else said, "He knows that...but he'll make a ton of money playing the game.....running for office is a business enterprise...win or lose....$$$$$ to be made..."
"Has more chance than Trump," another quipped. "I’d vote for a chain link fence before I’d ever vote for pence. Pence definition: it is usually the smallest denomination within a currency system. Presently, it is the formal name of the British penny ( abbr. p) and the de facto name of the American one-cent coin," someone else said. "No one likes Pence…" another declared while a third said, "Don’t care, can’t stand the loser. He’s a liar and cheat." "Agreed, they might be testing the waters to see if any of us have changed her mind. Mine still made up #neverpence," a tweet asserted.
One individual tweeted, "Pence is a right-hand man & he's good at it. He's not a leader though." However, some claimed Pence stood a chance nevertheless. A user wrote, "Come on Roger, these elections are fixed. He has a 1000% chance of being elected." "He’s the Antichrist and everyone will vote for him," a tweet read. "He is despicable," wrote another.
I'd like to see him really file. Then he can see how much people dislike him.
