A Donald Trump campaign stop in Indiana scheduled for Tuesday is raising speculation that the presumptive Republican nominee will announce Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate.

The Washington Times reported Sunday evening that Pence has a “95 percent probability” of being Trump's choice, according to sources close to the campaign and to the governor.

Pence is mediocre but Newt and Flynn....I likey

A decent chick would be fine but they’re aren’t any.....Laura Ingraham

Pence is JOKE as far as most of the people who have ever heard of him an d most people have NEVER heard of him.

He would NOT "unite" the party at all!

He's BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING and brings NOTHING to the ticket!

Just HOW does he end the #NEVERTRUMPERS at the Convention? He wouldn't even be .announced until LONG after the rules committee meets. And guess what....if he would satisfy the arsehole, brain dead E#NEVERTRUMPERS, I for one, most assuredly would NEVER stand for him on the ticket and neither would most Trump supporters.

Thanks; these political naifs and worse, are driving me up a wall!

[nopardons]

It’s MSMers guessing/pushing for the ones they want/filling spaced. :-)

[nopardons]

How am I “supporting” you position, when ANYONE being named as Trump’s for sure pick, brings him less than NOTHING and most actually hurt his chances of winning?

[nopardons]

Most who are pushing for one person or another, here, actually know NOTHING about that person!

OTOH...you're correct re Newtie.

[nopardons]

Look into her. ;^)

[D-fendr]

The supporting part was the nominee made a pick against pressure to do so.

FOr example:”JFK loathed LBJ; so did the entire Kennedy family” . The family was agains LBJ made the pick against pressure.

[nopardons]

Thank you very much! :-)

I also really KNOW the history of American cartoons; both political and just "the funnypapers". I've loved them since I was a very tiny child and as is my wont, proceeded to learn everything about them that I can. And now I have broadened my education by learning all about Brit political cartoons from their inception.

LOL....I have very eclectic tastes/interests and NOBODY should attempt to best me, because not many can. ;^)

And no, I don't know everything and have NEVER claimed that I do.

[nopardons]

And just WHO is going to FORCE Trump into taking some shlub, who adds less than NOTHING whatsoever to the ticket and/or who most certainly SHALL harm his chances of winning?

Pence is a Republican that fits the type the Republican Elitist Establishment could control and he would become one of their members... Pence carried the Amnesty ball for GW Bush and made a huge silly mess of it .. with the idiotic step out and step back in Amnesty ... back in 2007 or so ...

PENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER FOR VP ... Newt Gingrich IS...

I will be very dismayed if Pence is picked - he adds NOTHING to the Ticket - there are at least 6 other candidates who would add something ....

I just want to SPIT thinking about all the good vibes Trump induces to let these silly advisers pick a has been that never was. PENCE IS NOT OF A MINDSET of the typical Trump follower

[nikos1121]

Now that we think of Pence in that light, it makes proper sense.

[John W]

You’re voting for Trump if he names me as VP, who are you kidding?

[corkoman]

Just great. The foam-at-the-mouth Cruz derangement crowd continue to cut their noses off. So many detached noses on the ground and Hillary cackling at her good fortune.

Nothing like bitter winners to spoil the win.

[trebb]

I truly hope he has an ace up his sleeve.

I’m not excited about any one mentioned for VP so far

and I’m only so so on Trump overall.

I don't care if he names my toaster as his running mate.

How are you on Hillary overall??????

[mkjessup]

Just great. The foam-at-the-mouth Cruz derangement crowd continue to cut their noses off. So many detached noses on the ground and Hillary cackling at her good fortune.

Whether Cruz is actually deranged remains to be seen. His failure to tell his certified deranged followers to stand down, and his own failure to endorse Trump, puts him in the same camp as Bush, Romney, Pataki, and all those other losers.

Hillary indeed is cackling, cackling at the continued division and dissension that is being sowed by the Cruzlims, Google up 'Kendal Unruh' for further evidence of that.

Trump needs someone stable and proven to offset him - Pence is it. Newt, definitely, is not.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Not good news. He’s a wavering spineless weasel.
And he brings nothing to the table insofar as insight on how to navigate legislation through Congress.

[ichabod1]

Trump said weeks ago it probably wouldn’t be a minority or woman because that would be pandering.
