The Club for Growth, a conservative group that spent millions attacking Donald Trump in the Republican presidential primary, on Friday lauded the businessman for choosing Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate.
"Mike Pence would be an outstanding Vice-President,” Club president David McIntosh said in a statement minutes after Trump tweeted that he was tapping Pence.
"The Club supported Mike Pence’s nomination as Republican Conference Chairman because we knew that he would be a strong voice for free markets and economic liberty among a House leadership team that was too prone to be weak on those issues. And today’s news gives a similar hope that Mike Pence will be effective in pulling the Republican ticket toward economic conservatism and limited government.”
That’s Globalist, to you. I find the term Global to be too crude. (Unless I’m on the internet or otherwise participating in the free market).
Yeah. The scenario I've been watching for is T emphasizes his pro-business side and downplays his taxn'n'spending ways.
Obviously written by someone who's never bothered to keep up.
Is that why you have the Democrat Seal on your page? Are you a conservative?
And may I ask if your last name is Trump? You seem to be all about your self knowledge and insight into the mind of Mr. Trump. I ask this because it just caught my eye you wrote Donald was having second thoughts last night.
After reading several of your post today I can clearly see you have no compassion or heart to understand death and chaos over the murder of many people. Cancelling an event as Donald did it looks like you need to be reminded about the difference of respect for the death of humanity and the announcement of a political position.
Mr. Trump is able to show respect and compassion whereas he can't be responsible for the lack of feelings other fellow country men and woman might have here. Making up the excuse that Trump was uncertain of his pick in order to fit you warped perspective of respect has no place in the Trump camp.
I as well as many others here see you don't like the choice of Mr. Pence. Fine and I respect your opinion.
To assume and take it on yourself to say Donald was uncertain about Mr. Pence last night definitely rules out any ounce of possible creditability of your statements now or in the past. I myself will take your comments for what they're worth.
>>I went from feeling so happy about Pence to feeling like the Globals are rubbing their hands with glee<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Trump will have vetted Pence completely to his satisfaction.
He is TOTALLY aware of the importance of anti-globalism in trade, immigration, international agencies (WTO, UN, NATO etc.) and neocon interventionism.
There is no way he would have accepted Pence without assurances he will back Trump 100% on anti-TPP, building a wall, stopping Islamists from entering the country and all the other key TRUMP policies.
Politically, I see Pence as about where Cruz claims to be, but without the bizarre & lyin’ elements, and the feeling you might get stabbed in the back at any time. I think he should calm down some of the doubters that Trump is a real “Republican” or a real “Conservative.” That’s all.
We Trumpists have a right to be concerned; but I think everything will be okay. Remember, Trump does eventually need to get Congress behind him too, in order to get his programs enacted into law.

LOL! Did you take a good look at that seal? You might want to.
Yeah...yawn...
Pence is to Trump, as Bush was to Reagan. A globalist in conservative flavor.
Great post.
Trump bows before the GOPe. Film at 11.
I hear what you are saying, but I just see a repeat of RR-GHWB.
We got 8 years of RR followed by their undoing by Bush.
My dismay is, while Pence may go along with DJT while Trump is President, Pence will then be in the same position as Bush was, to undo all the accomplishments achieved during the Trump Administration....
All along, DJT’s overriding theme has been “Let Trump be Trump”. If he caved to his childrens’ preference, or that of his advisors, that could well cost America in the future. I guess time will tell.

EXCUSE ME? How dare you?!! This is an outrageous charge, and I can not believe you would stoop so low.
The level of cognitive dissonance you used to reach such a conclusion is astounding. It's not even worthy of a response, but just in case anyone would stumble on your post and believe your false accusations, I will defend myself.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump cancelling his press conference. I agreed with that decision. Trump's pick had to be today regardless because Pence had a reelection deadline.
I never made a thing up. There were media reports that said Trump was undecided and even talked about getting out of it at midnight last night Last night, Trump was interviewed on Fox on two shows and sounded unsure. There were media reports saying his gut was saying Christie, but the reports said he was being advised to take Pence. Trump even said a couple of days ago he wanted an attack dog. Suddenly, a day later Trump changes his mind on wanting an attack dog. Why would you change criteria if sure? Based on these things, I have a right to give my speculation.
After the accusation you made that I have NO COMPASSION for the victims of the Nice attack because I have reiterated media reports that Trump was uncertain, I don't care what you think about my comments because that is despicable.
So you falsely accused me of being a Democrat over a fake seal making fun of Democrats?
My sentiment is with you 100%, Librarian.
: )
Get a look at post 85 and see what I have been accused of because of post 60.
I thought what you wrote was quite plausible (thank you for your thoughts) and can see no connection between what you wrote and that poster’s response.
I hope you continue to post your thoughts, as I find them insightful.
Your FRiend,
RWL
“I still think he should have picked someone that bucked the establishment.”
Another Trump as VP would add nothing. Trump needs establishment votes to win.
