Donald Trump’s inner circle scrambled to fly to Indiana on Wednesday because they were increasingly convinced the GOP frontrunner was moving away from picking Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate after a positive meeting on Monday with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, according to a campaign source with direct knowledge of the situation.

In response, Trump's top adviser Paul Manafort, his three adult children and son-in-law Jared Kushner jetted to meet him in Indiana, where the candidate had stayed overnight, in an effort to intervene as he nears finalizing his choice for a vice presidential pick.

Trump remained in Indiana due to a "technical problem" with his plane, after having met with Pence on Sunday and appearing with him at a rally on Tuesday.

Kushner, the millionaire who has emerged as a de facto campaign manager in recent weeks, strongly opposes putting Christie on the ticket. Notably, Christie was the federal prosecutor who put Kushner's father in prison a decade ago.

Trump meets Newt, Newt is nice to him, so he wants him as VP
Trump meets Pence, Pence is nice to him, so he wants him as VP
Trump meets Christie, Christie is nice to him, so he wants him as VP
Trump meets....

There is only ONE qualification

and so the circle of Trump life never ends.

I try to talk myself into voting Trump, bit NO WAY AM I VOTING FOR A TRUMP/CHRISTIE TICKET!  If Trump chooses Christie, I'll be completely convinced he has no intention (and never did) of winning!

 :silly:

Or more like the Brady Bunch:

Here's the story of a YUGE billionaire
Who fathered five kids with three different wives.
All of them had hair of gold, like their mothers,
The three oldest ones had campaign lives.

Here's the story, of a man named Gingrich,
Who was busy with three ex-wives of his own,
There were three other men, all hoping to be VP.
Yet they were out and all alone.

Till the one day when the Billionaire met this Pence guy.
And his kids knew it was much more than a hunch,
That this group must somehow form a ticket.
That's the way we all became the Trumpy Bunch.

The Trumpy Bunch,
The Trumpy Bunch,
That's the way we became the Trumpy Bunch.

I'm already convinced of that.  Remember how Trump sounded off about how he was going to take it to Hillary?  Now that the path is clear to attack her, especially now that Comey unjustly cleared her, Trump has decided taking the fight to Hillary is "boring."  This putz is not going to win, in large part because he doesn't intend to win.  Why would he want to deny his longtime friend what she is convinced is owed to her?

Trump only got in to protect the Clinton/Soros crime syndicate. He's as dirty as they are in every regard!
