Boy, that crowd turned on here VERY quickly for asking an honest question that many of us had.
They should be ashamed of themselves. She is (I believe) a Trump supporter who asked Pence a very frank and open question, and instead was met with Jeers and Pence's sidestepping

The VP Candidate stated that freedom looks and sounds like ... I agree.
But then he went on to say, "I've never been around someone more devoted to the armed forces of this country; more devoted to the families of our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guard and no one more devoted to the veteran's of this country ... "
Come the Hell on! So Mr Pence has never met with the leadership of the VFW or American Legion? He's never met with the AUSA, NCOA? he's never met with any member of the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guard because I'm pretty damn sure that members of those groups are FAR more devoted to servicemembers and their families than Mr trump has ever been.
I don't accept hyperbolic BS pandering like this from Secretary Clinton and I'm sure as Hell not going to accept it from the Trump campaign.

Pence is just another asshole pretending he cares, I don't think he has even met a volunteer at a VA hospital or someone that dedicates hours upon hours at a USO, all those people care more than Trump does, Or the Volunteers at Dover AFB who try to make the worse days of families life just a little better as the results of war are flown how, HTere are countless people who strive to help service members and their families, but apparently Pence has never bothered to meet any of them.

People are allowed to boo, just as much as she is allowed to ask her question. It was a fair question, and one that should have been answered. If the potential VP does not think what Donald Trump did was disrespectful, then he should've stated that and honestly answered her question. The people should not be booing, we need these politicians to answer tough questions, and be put on the spot at times so we see how they really feel and how they will react in tough positions, not be given softballs just to please certain people and make themselves look good. We complain about it when all the MSM ask Hillary Clinton softball questions, but then do the same thing to the Republican politicians. She felt that Donald disrespected the military, and for that she got booed? That's disrespectful!

It was a fair question. If you are going to put your name into the hat as the VP and thus the possible POTUS, you need to be prepared to answer some hard questions.

Being a Gold Star parent or a parent of a vet does not give you freedom to express yourself without being challenged. I challenge my dad's political views everyday. Being a parent of a service member doesn't make you an expert on what service members think or feel any more then I can, as a 24 year active Army officer, can speak for all service members.

While Trump is an A-hole and may or may have not been disrespectful to a service member. Its a no brainer that the last occupant in chief or that vile POS Cankles is/was or will be the greatest insult to any service member period.

Being a US citizen gives w you the right to ask whatever you dammed well please without being put in danger from the Trump sterling fire thugs like this woman was. She asked a valid question and was bashed by thugs.
