Trump and his team and his candidacy are falling apart.

Disunity gives the throne to Clinton and Obama; insanity, temporary or otherwise without remedy. It should be avoided.

Good stuff. I note the NY Slimes is trying to sell this as a split between Pence and Trump. So they’ll just ignore the fact DT TOLD Pence to endorse him and STRONGLY SO. So presumably if he told him NOT to he would have NOT done so.

Trump better put Pence on a shorter leash. Pence can screw this up for Donald. Donald needs a new speaker to get anything done. Hopefully a non globalist speaker.

In an ideal world Trump could stage a big rally in Ryan’s district and actively campaign against him. In this world, Priebus was having a nervous breakdown over Trump’s refusal to endorse. The Pence compromise calms Priebus down while keeping Trump’s non-endorsement intact.

Sometimes you can’t have it all. This is a good compromise.

Noting that I will gladly Vote Trump, please consider the following.

I guess that it should be no surprise that constitutionally low-information Trump would choose a running mate who arguably knows less about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, and associatd limited power to appropriate taxes, than Trump does imo. (Trump may have read the Constitution, but you also need to study the writings of the founders and key statements in Supreme Court case opinions to really get a grip on the Founding States’ intentions for the feds constitutionally limited powers.)

I’m supporting Trump because because patriots, particularly those who participate in FR, should have no trouble getting Trump up to speed on the fed’s constitutionally limited powers.

As a side note, Constitution-savvy Trump supporters may be getting Trump up to speed with the fed’s limited powers at this very moment. But as articles that FReepers have referenced indicate, Trump deliberately talks to people at a 4th grade level to help insure that his ideas are understood by as many people as possible.

So Trump’s approach to mentioning 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty may become, “it’s probably better for the states to decide ...”

Corrections, insights welcome.

I guess you didn’t read the part where TRUMP GAVE HIM PERMISSION TO STRONGLY ENDORSE RYAN.

Speaker Ryan is going to be President Trumps biggest road block. Pence should have known better. Pence could be the biggest threat to Trump, not the MSM or the DNC.

He is a ticking globalist establishment time bomb ready to go rouge. I can see it in his eyes. He is the weak link that will be exploited.

Trump is letting Pence speak for himself. In this election, that’s a good thing. Pence can say things as VP candidate Trump shouldn’t. It’s excellent strategy, IMO.

Vote Trump 2016

What happens if Pence drops out ?

There should be a big secret meeting to do a reset.

I have a very uneasy feeling about Pence. I don’t trust him. He is the GOPe plant in place for when they impeach Trump.

Trump and Pence should have just stayed out of it.

As I read though the posts below, I find that over half of the people are not taking the time to read the full article, if they were, there wouldn't be such ‘half witted’ statements...

Pence and Trump talked about this, how many of you didn't take the time to find out about this remark? No, you read the headline and off and running you go, read the article then comment...no wonder this Communistic media has all of you in pretzels....

"Pence’s endorsement simultaneously extends an olive branch to Ryan to get aligned with trump while making Ryan look small and petty for snubbing Trump’s peace offering. It puts enormous pressure on Ryan without making it look like Trump is twisting arms."

No one believes that except Trumpies having "don't worry, be happy" fantasies.

Pence was the wrong choice. whoever told Trump to pick Pence was a saboteur or an idiot.
