he was not telling the truth, anderson, when he said he has always supported all three of those exceptions. i am stuck of cnn s kfile reporting team looked into this and she found pence s answer to an indiana antiabortion group cautionary fill out in 2010 as a congressional candidate. it is still online. we will postal into it on cnn.com tonight. and it asked, quote, under what circumstances do you think abortion should be legal it gave them the option of rape slush incest or other. instead, pence did not to his. that he stated abortion should never be legal. so he was on record in, that on 2010, rejecting all exceptions, when he ran for reelection this time he checked on the life of the mother, so again he checked only life of a mother. so he supported rape, incest, he s saying what he wants to say about his current position, but those are exceptions that i have always supported.

matter of logic. it is a pretty hard one to square. what struck me tonight, jacob, about pence s performance was the fact that he really does face a tremendous structural problem. and the latest cnn poll, 6% of republicans and republican -leaning voters nationally say they support pence. 45% say they there is no circumstance under which they whatever support to pence. what struck me is that on a number of issues, ukraine and the fact that he feels we should be committed to it and could not allow russia to win, and entitlement reform, social security reform, medicare reform. he is very, much any talked repeatedly about being a reagan republican. and being, signing on during the reagan revolution. the question, of course, is
