Donald Trump's vice presidential search turned into a head-spinning melodrama Wednesday as candidates vying for the spot hopped on planes and phones to perform frenzied, last-minute try-outs...
The meetings held in Indiana were done so to allow Trump more time with Pence, a Trump spokesperson said. But the plan to fly GIngrich and Sessions to Indiana appeared to be more of a last-minute scramble, since sources told CNN Tuesday night that he was spending the night because Trump's plan had mechanical issues...
One of the biggest questions is whether he will opt for someone with a reputation as a partisan scrapper who could defend him in the media and lambast Democrat Hillary Clinton, or if he will choose someone viewed as a safer political partner who could bring more sobriety to his volatile campaign...

“head-spinning melodrama”?
“Frenzied”?
Oh, yeah. This is an objective non-biased report.....
Whoever gets the VP nod some of us may not be too happy.
The word of the day will be “controversial” no matter who he picks
With Hillary the word leaking will mostly be used.
It goes without saying. I’ve been seeing the reactions here to every one of these people.
They each have strengths: Pence would bring aboard a lot of the “neverTrumptiods” and pacify the GOPe.
Newt is smart as heck but too often talks without thinking. (And then there’s Callista . . . ugh)
Christie is an attack dog, but already in trouble in his home state.
Sessions is terrific, but sort of a calmer Trump-—whom we desperately need in the Senate.
Dude, this is FR.
ANYBODY Trump picks won’t be liked by 20% of the website.
That aside, the man is a winner and he knows how to pick winners. I’m ok with whomever he chooses.
It’s not going to be Gingrich , Christie or Pence . Remember I said this .
“ANYBODY Trump picks wont be liked by 20% of the website.”
That is the damn truth.
According to the CNN article Sessions is only in an advisory position which I hope because he doesn’t present enough of a contrast to Trump to be meaningful.
The Beast will pick her consort for VP.
Abbott?
Frenzied??? I this word suppose to arouse people?? Like we don’t know what’s really going on??
I was listening to MSNBC yesterday and CNN today — love to channel flip around — but anyway, it is killing the media that they do not have the inside scoop! I wish Pence didn’t have to report by Friday re:Governor because this could go on until the Convention. I’m not tired of the show at all, and I love all the free media he is getting. So smart! So I’d be perfectly happy if this went on for days because the media is absolutely beside themselves. I am LOVING IT!
They’ll use “post menopause” phase for Hillary
Also, “volatile campaign...” Har. CNN is pulling out all the stops.
What a joke.
Understand our Governor is still in the hospital recovering after skin grafts to his legs after an accident.
