Anybody remember Tug McGraw's famous pitch?
President Trump is going to throw this "screwball" out of office.

This could really shake things up in Atlanta.
As the clock ticks closer to Thursday’s presidential debate pitting former President Donald Trump against President Joe Biden, a report is circulating that Trump could be springing a big surprise on his Democratic opponent.
And upending the presidential campaign in the process.
NBC News reported Tuesday, citing sources identified only as “people familiar with the situation,” Trump could be revealing his running mate before he and Biden even take the stage at CNN headquarters.
Trump has previously said he would reveal the name of the individual he’s chosen before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, which begins July 15.
But that timetable might have changed considerably, and Trump is now considering a “curveball” that could knock Biden off his already-unsteady feet.
“People familiar with discussions about a pre-debate announcement had differing views about Trump’s leanings,” NBC reported.
“One said he is eager to fill his ticket before he squares off with Biden. Another source said he would like the opportunity to throw a curveball to distract Biden before they meet but understands that such a move could create logistical and political complications.”
Any news report is only as credible as its sourcing, and anonymously sourced reports should always be treated with a grain of salt.
But there’s no denying a Trump announcement on a running mate would be a headline-grabbing move that would suck up the oxygen surrounding the Atlanta faceoff.
It would be a national story. It would put Trump on top of the news cycle. And it would almost certainly set his opponent back a step.
In short, it would be exactly the kind of move Trump has been making since he came down the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015 to announce his bid for the presidency.

A REAL CURVEBALL would be for Trump to back out, and thus end the DNC plan to replace Biden before the Convention.
Yep, mess up the news cycle for the spin that “Biden won the debate”
Good point.
Trump is going to announce he now identifies as a black, handicapped lesbian? That...would be a curve ball.
His opponent doesn’t know who he is anyway. Wont make a difference.
Media driven hype. I don’t see Trump announcing his running mate unless he needed a distraction tomorrow.
i think another thing that’s going to happen right before the debate starts is that Trump’s people will announce that Trump has had an independent drug test and the results are posted on the web for anyone to see ...
I thought maybe he could stand up and tell Tapper “You were right, Herr Tapper. Heil Hitler!” And then handwalk off of the stage...now that would be a spitball.
AUDENTES FORTUNA LUVAT
That should be “iuvat.”
But that hair!
The author sits down...Let’s see...what’s a good story I can make up...........Here goes....This is news cr**.
Trump should make public a list of possibles.
The media would help vet them.
Meaning?
I was under the impression, Trump’s only demand was for Biden to take a drug test.
That would be interesting.
As soon as I see ‘NBC’ and especially ‘NBC anonymous source’ - I suspect a dirty trick. NBC is willing to sell the Paris Olympics coverage to the Taliban if it will help to destroy Donald Trump!!!
