Pence does no harm. I can think of zero times I voted for the GOP ticket because I liked the VP and I didn’t like the Presidential candidate. ZERO!
Eh I can...Sort of. I really was not happy with McCain until Palin came on the ticket—not sure I would not have voted for him given the choice, but she really is what made me feel invested in that election.
Your candidate should have immediately recognized real leadership and got on board. That was most unfortunate for Mr. Cruz. Everyone is not going to be a winner here.
PC and political business as usual are being prepared for burial.
Me too! Donut boy would have been a disaster!
ABC just broke in to confirm.
“Trump has proven instincts, and they’re pretty darn good. There is a LOT that goes into a VP pick, it’s pretty complicated. IF this is true (still an if until tomorrow), he has solid reasons, as well as his gut instinct that this is the man.”
My thinking, as well. I’ve got to trust Trump’s well honed instincts and experience on this.
We’ll see if it’s Pence or someone else tomorrow.
Aus....your post sounds a ‘little’ like sour grapes...
you wrote “Trump and his supporters can’t quit the venom.”
to this I say...”let those without sin..cast the first stone”.
BOTH sides need the other.... how about you start by fully coming on board with Trump..and forgetting the whole ‘winner and loser’ thing....:)
Its all good...
I think it’s speculation
Pretty much this.
That said, Nixon picked Agnew as he knew it was insurance from assassination as Tricky Dick knew they would hate the VP more than him.
Someone the establishment truly feared as VP ( Newt/Palin/Rand?) would have perhaps been one school of thought
That Pence is it? Trump’s campaign said it wasn’t true. On Breitbart.
Yes, Pence in the air heading east.
It is honestly scary the reaction of some when faced with the fact a Trump choice leaked and the leak turned out to be true. The man is not Jesus Christ folks, things are going to happen to and around him the same as they do to and around any human being.
A VP choice never did anything to help a candidates.
Also, sadly 4 years ago, I had a lot more admiration for Paul Ryan—he fought against Obamacare, etc. At the time, I was much more comfortable with Mittens when he put on Ryan.
OF course, now we all know what a turd Ryan has turned out to be.
I wonder. I really don’t like Pence has said about TPP or TTP or whatever it’s called and other things, like the moslem ban, IIRC.
One thing that made it nearly impossible to keep secret was the deadline to withdraw from governor’s race. You have more media covering these guys than the population of New York so how’s it going to stay a secret.
Take a look here and you’ll see he’s still on the ground.

Trump & co kept it a secret for longer than I’d have thought humanly possible. I give him enormous credit for that.
Winning in November is more important.
Fox News just reported press conference tomorrow has been cancelled.
Just announced on news that Trump is postponing VP announcement tomorrow due to Nice, France attack.
No problem.
