This is all just another crappy reality show to Donnie Drumpfā¦
Keep Pence dangling just long enough to screw up his campaign for governorāExcellent move, Democratic-secret-agent Trump.
āHe emphasized that Trump postponed the event out of respect for the victims of the attack in Franceā¦ā
I call bullshit on this one
With all the crap going on in the world, this little reality show of d-list politicians jumping through hoops and juggling brings some welcome levity.
I see an opening for Palin or Ernst.
I donāt expect Pence to sacrifice one chance without hearing about the other. Gingrich and Christie are both so badāobviously badāthat we can have a really fun random pick. Kris Kobach?
Reading this article and all that was going through my head is Miley Cyrusā Wrecking Ball. Trump either didnāt get the reaction he wanted from choosing Pence or he feels heās been bigfooted by the Nice attacks and now wants to flip the script. That might explain why Newt is now screaming about deporting Muslims. Either way, I seriously question if heās going to choose Pence.
Try to imagine Trump conducting international negotiations on just about anything. He canāt even manage a process in which he has the right to make a unilateral decision without sending mixed messages and confusing and pissing off the contenders.
Thereās a drinking game in here somewhereā¦
If Pence drops out of the Gov race after the deadline and then he doesnāt get picked for the VP, thatāll just be two-fer!
Theyāve got about an hour and a half.
This man cannot even choose and announce a running mate without screwing up the whole process. We cannot put him in charge of our country. As Charlie Pierce said: This isnāt funny anymore. American democracy is at stake.
From what Iāve read, it might be better if Pence stays in the governor race. Will he win?
āHe was moved by what happened last night,ā Manafort said. "It affected him and emotionally he ā the carnage in Paris
Umā¦I would take you much more seriously if you even knew where the damn terrorist act occurred. Sheesh!
āRespect for the victimsā might include knowing where it happened.
Heās postponing the VP announcement only because he doesnāt want to step on his demagoguery of Muslims in the aftermath of Nice.
Yet again, Trumpās playing the media and presscorp like a cheap flĆ¼gelhorn.
I think heāll win but, in reality, a Republican Pet Rock would have an easier go of it.
I bet Gingrichās last minute inflammatory, bigoted, probably kinda racist, wildly unconstitutional, fascist, Muslim purity test idea put him back in the running.
The tell will be whether Pence dumps his run for governor.
Of course, The Donald is perfectly capable of letting him do that and then announcing that heās chosen someone else to go down to defeat alongside him.
He spoke to Gov. Christie after 4pm in what was described as a ātenseā conversation where a Pence pick was discussed but a final decision was not communicated.
Sounds to me like he may have been stringing Christie along giving him the impression that Christie actually had a chance. Then reality sets in. No more picking up lunch for Mr. Trump, then?
