(CNN) Donald Trump has called Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and offered him the vice presidential slot on his ticket, CNN has learned.
Pence has accepted.
The pick sets up a stark clash in styles: a brash presumptive nominee with a tendency to freelance into controversies alongside a cautious former congressional leader who's stuck close to conservative orthodoxy since starting his career in talk radio.

It may be merely an academic point- after all the clues that have been discovered to date, but Donald John Trump has NOT stated who his running mate is going to be, whether NBC likes it or not.
The old adage is probably in play: one can’t please everyone.
