“When did Trump make the announcement and why didn’t the TV news networks cover the announcement?”
because trump hasn’t announced anything. the only outlet reporting this is something called rollcall.com that drudge linked to.

In that case I would not be shocked to see Trump come out later and announce someone else. He might leak false info to the media just to humiliate them.

Well then, the information must have leaked from the Trump campaign.
I’m surprised it would be a governor. Trump has got the executive experience element wrapped up.
I see Pence as hanging in limbo. He’s not fully establishment/RINO, but many conservatives have written him off as squishy, so I don’t see what portion of the vote he brings to Trump that Trump needs. I think Trump wins Indiana in the electoral college easily, so it’s not like he needs the state. What gives?
