A lot of people apparently are very unhappy with the announcement, unhappy with CNN as the source and unhappy finding this thread which had been in Breaking News on Free Republic.
Please don't shoot the messenger and please don't ban me. Thanks!
Local ABC News just gave another Breaking News announcement:
Donald Trump is on a local fund-raising visit today.
Local ABC News confirmed
"again" that Mike Pence has
"officially been offered the VP slot by Donald Trump" and that Pence has
"formally accepted."
Local ABC News said that Trump
"also announced" that he had delayed his announcement, which had been scheduled for tomorrow, due to the Nice, France terrorist strike today.
USA Today/ Indianapolis Star Headline and link only:
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is Donald Trump's VP pick
CNN updated and confirmed again the story at 8:31 pm Eastern time.
ABC National News also just confirmed that Pence is the official VP nominee.
The billions of dollars guy has a veep of Pence. Some vague pun there, I suppose.
Of course many of us were keenly disappointed when Pence backed down on his religious freedom initiative. But I’ve wondered if Trump promised Pence that he’d stand up firm for such things as the big cheese, making the match-up attractive to both of them.
