The campaign has said a decision has not been made. The media is saying that it is Pence. I have a few concerns about Pence and thought I would voice them because, according to the campaign, they said Trump still has to make a decision.
These are two tweets already dug up by the press on Pence:
Governor Mike Pence Verified account @GovPenceIN
Trade means jobs, but trade also means security. The time has come for all of us to urge the swift adoption of the Trans Pacific Partnership
And:
Governor Mike Pence Verified account @GovPenceIN
Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.
The other day he gave an interview and was asked about Trump's wall. He refused to say directly he was for the wall; he just said he is for Trump:

Per InfoWars:
– While Trump has promised to build a wall, Pence has been savaged by respected conservatives like Pat Buchanan and Phyllis Schlafly for advocating “stealth amnesty” in the form of a guest worker program.
– While Trump has campaigned against job-killing foreign trade deals, Pence vehemently supports NAFTA, CAFTA, and the TPP.
– Pence voted for the Iraq war and opposed a withdrawal date even after it became apparent that U.S. involvement in the country was a disastrous policy.

CNN said last night that it was down to Christie and Pence. Trump's gut was giving ups Christie, and his family, Manafort, and supposedly establishment conservatives like Paul Ryan wanted Pence.
Trump is the man who has to work with this guy every single day. Christie and he have done so throughout the campaign. Christie bucked the establishment and endorsed him early, has been 100% loyal, has never said a bad word to the media, and he has supported Trump's campaign to the detriment of his NJ poll numbers. He also would do well in the debate and be Trump's attack dog. You might get from this that I'm a big Christie fan. I'm not. I just think that if these are our two options and if Trump's gut was telling him that, maybe that's where he should have gone.
I will support Trump regardless of who he puts on the ticket. Bottom line. My concerns are merely that Trump's VP stands firmly behind him, doesn't criticize him to the media, and agrees with Trump on policies.
Did you send these to Trump? I always tweet Trump, Manafort, Eric, & Donald Jr.
Why this now? Who did you vote for in the Ohio Republican Primary?
And he’s all for open borders
He changed. People change. Consistency does not mean crap. Tell what people want to hear at the moment.
OMG. You mean Trump is going to tolerate DISSENT?
Sessions pls: problems solved, drama gone.
Because it’s VP selection time now? I have said on here who I voted for, and that’s irrelevant to this post.
That was my pick. I guess he was too valuable in the Senate, but yeah, I love Sessions.
Not to me it isn’t. And I don’t ‘follow’ your posts, frankly.
VP candidates accept the policies of presidential candidates. Cheney had differences with W. but he accepted the policies of Bush
Another thing to complain about Trump doing wrong in this election.
A vanity about something that hasn’t happened yet?
Well, it is to me. You’re only asking because you think that I must be a Cruz troll I’m assuming. If I said I voted for Cruz, which I didn’t, then you would say I’m just trolling.
Neither guy would be a GREAT pick........now Kris Kobach, Sec’y of State of Kansas, who wrote laws requiring photo ID’s for voters, strong border protections, Friend of Sheriff Joe, early supporter of Trump, THAT would be a great pick!
Vice President has to give in to President.
pence is not going to help further the march against the globalist establishment - let’s hope it’s all a ruse...
I said it hasn’t happened yet.
