Trump reportedly thought about dumping Pence as VP. Which is believable, thanks to Trump
Washington Compost ^ | 7/15/2016 | Aaron Blake

Somebody close to Donald Trump's campaign is apparently leaking something very unhelpful.

Needless to say, having rumors out there that you thought about dumping your vice presidential pick 12 hours after his name started leaking is a bad thing. If you're Mike Pence, you just affixed your brand to Trump's for the next four months -- and perhaps the rest of your career -- and the botched handling of the VP rollout has now culminated in this. Not exactly a confidence-booster.

If anything, this leak is just the latest proof of how poorly the whole thing has been handled. And that poor handling, in turn, makes the rumor seem quite plausible.

Also making it believable: Basically everything the Trump campaign said on Thursday. Here's a sampling (with a big assist from The Post's Robert Costa). All of this came after Pence's name emerged as the likely pick late Thursday morning.

MSM is in business of spreading rumors.

They know nothing.

From the unofficial FR worrier (I should change my FR name to that), this wont change ONE vote.

This doesn’t matter AT ALL.

This was a waste of a valuable PC’s time, the 10 minutes it took to write.

This pick must have them really scared - as it should.

Pence is a certifiable nightmare for Libtards.

The MSM knows Hillary is in deep trouble so anything to set a fire in the Trump camp they’re only too happy to assist in fanning the flames. Of course it’s from the DC Compost so what do you expect.

I watched this and it was total CNN Bull Shit.
Bash had a source(unnamed) at midnight telling her Trump changed his mind.
Everyone on the panel kept there mouths shut and let her ramble and spew this un verified crap.

"From the unofficial FR worrier (I should change my FR name to that)"

Change your tagline to "The Voice Crying in the Wilderness."

Yeah, I saw CNN for a few minutes. Dana Bash was about to have an orgasm as she broke the news. All the talking heads were giddy.

I didn’t say “botched.”

I think you meant to ping someone else.
