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.
How could he dump him before he appointed him?
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.

Trying to emulate the f’in success of John f’in Kerry.
This pick must have them really scared - as it should.
Pence is a certifiable nightmare for Libtards.
As usual, in a snit they just start making s#!+ up.
Okay Aaron, you’re up.
I need a completely fabricated hit piece on my desk by tomorrow morning.
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.
silly. OF COURSE DT was considering other folks for the post
so what? that’s exactly what he needed to do
What was “botched” about it ??
WaPo go to the devil.
WashPost? Enough said. Return to your seats.
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.
Change your tagline to "The Voice Crying in the Wilderness."
WaPo = Clinton campaign DC HQ
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.
The smears/lies begin—and the diehard Cruz supporters will believe them.
I didn’t say “botched.”
I think you meant to ping someone else.
Usual and customary BOVINE EXCREMENT from the pink panty wapo.
