Breaking on Drudge
I hope that Pence is loyal to Trump, supportive of Trump, and doesn’t criticize him publicly. Gingrich, I would be afraid, could have done that, although he also would have been a big fighter. Christie we know has been and is those things (despite the fact he isn’t the most popular here). My concerns with Pence are that but also that he caved on Religious Freedom Act and how he’ll debate. The bottom line, though, is that Trump needs someone who will stand by him, and Trump feels Pence will do it. I hope Pence lives up to those expectations because Trump clearly struggled because he wanted to make the best decision. He’s put his trust in Pence, and I hope Pence honors it.
You are right. Trumps pick had more to do with electoral college votes
than anything.
Thank-you for making day/afternoon with that good news.
Post 2008, why does that matter?
The Indianapolis Star, which cannot be posted here, is confirming it.
Kinda boring choice. Oh well...
Wouldn’t surprise me if this was a test balloon and a way to control the media - making the announcement covered even more.
Exactly.
Or that Pence has ruined his career by being in with Trump
He is a thousand times better than our choice in 2012
CAN ANYONE TELL US WHEN THE RULES COMMITTEE MEETING WILL BE SHOWN LIVE? THEY’RE BEING COY WITH TELLING US & IT’S QUITE IRRITATING!
Maybe the Pence news is being leaked for reasons related to this, but we won’t know if THEY NEVER START THEIR LIVE FEED. Aargggggh!

JFK and his Bostonian a-holes hated LBJ, but they needed Texas to win.
Ergo: LBJ for VP
Fair one but he was a radio talker for many years and can log-roll just fine.
If Hillary picks that Admiral he could turn out to be a clone of Perot’s running mate, and the debate will be no problem.
Personally I expect the debates will not happen, as Hillary would be insane to get on the same stage with Trump.
I’ll wait for an official announcement from Trump tomorrow.
Well he said it was about the deal. Maybe Pence is the bone that the GOPe gets.
But if Trump is a successful president, Pence becomes heir apparent to the GOP nomination after Trump’s term(s). Pray he learns.
But Will is no longer a Republican so he has invalidated his own relevance :)
Listened to BECK this AM by mistake, he said that the “takeover” was pretty much not going to happen, he would know.
The big unions line up behind the Democrats each and every election, worrying about a creature which has no interest in being your friend is useless. Unions will attack no matter what, 'more presidential' is not what got Trump the nomination, and it will give Bill Clinton a 3rd term.
Good points. Agreed.
Pence’s #1 job now is to not do Trump any harm.
