I never could understand why he picked Pence.
Except maybe the deep-staters told him it might help him win that state? (old thinking)
A ticket of him and Palin would have been gold. What? You say the media would have trashed them both? Duh... they were going to do that anyway.
I think Trump picked Pence for about the same reasons that Reagan picked Bush. The Deep State hoisted Bush on Reagan to keep tabs on him. Ditto for Trump.
I don’t think he picked, I think he acquiesced for quid pro quo, perhaps to be allowed to run with some GOP support. Many of the “picks” Freepers excoriate him for were in the same category.
I understand that he was going to pick fatboy Christie but Christie turned him down.... I love Trump, but he just sucks and picking people
Why did Reagan “pick” Bush?
