Source Reports: Trump will pick Gov. Mike Pence as his running-mate

by: John Sexton


Based on an unnamed Republican source, Roll Call is reporting that Gov. Mike Pence will be picked as Donald Trump’s running mate. The story doesn’t offer much detail except to say the source is someone, “with direct knowledge of the decision.”

The suggestion this week has been that Pence and former Speaker Newt Gingrich were the front-runners for the position. CNN reported that a trial-run for Pence at a campaign stop in Indiana Tuesday went very well:

Quote
Pence introduced Trump at a rally Tuesday in Indiana that served as an audition of sorts as the presumptive Republican nominee closes in on a decision. The Indiana governor happily played the role of attack dog by slamming Hillary Clinton and saying she “must never become president of the United States.”…

In a change in plans, Trump later decided to spend the night in Indianapolis “because it was logistically easier” to go straight from there to California, a campaign aide confirmed to CNN.

Earlier in the day, Pence lavished praise on the presumptive GOP nominee, comparing Trump to Ronald Reagan and using the phrase “make America great again” Tuesday afternoon when he spoke with reporters after an event in Indianapolis.

A source tells CNN that the campaign vetted Pence and found his record “was completely clean….” The source adds, “No one needs an extra hassle.”

Trump is set to announce the decision Friday morning at Trump Tower.

Trump could pick Cruz and it wouldn't change a thing.

Totally Trump.  This is a serious decision and he's using it as a prop.

I'm beginning to get a bad feeling about this.  I'm beginning to give up hope that Republicans will do the right thing and block Trump's nomination. 

Republicans so seldom do the right thing between two choices.

I'm also beginning to be afraid that Trump will win.  As Geena Davis once said, "Be afraid ... be very afraid."

I hope people get serious about the down ticket candidates and elect strong conservatives who will not be susceptible to coercion by some crazy, evil  dude we seem bent on electing.

Surprised Trump didn't take it to the Jersey shore and make Cristie, Newt, and Pence put on grass skirts prior to the Tribal meeting.

Too bad really, Pence is a wimp with no backbone after his reversal in the queer bill in Indiana.

But he fits the bill for being a Trump yes boy.

I do not see how this really helps Trump.

Kasich or Christie may have been able to help with PA/OH/NJ.

Or Condi or S Martinez

I think this was the obvious choice from clues. Will Donny petulantly change because his announcement was scooped?

The Trump ego would prefer not sharing the spotlight with anyone.  This is the best example of that

Other than someone of little notoriety outside the Midwest, can't imagine what Pence brings to the table against Clinton.

Pence is solid with just enough of an establishment background, he's a former radio host, so he handles the press beautifully and will be stellar in the debate, he's from the heartland, a nice balance to the Eastern Seaboard states, and as far as enthusiasm... he gave a terrific speech this week introducing Donald Trump., dare I say "enthusiastic".   ^-^

And for the esoteric portion of my post:  Pence is not a loose cannon. 

If this truly is our ticket:  Trump/Pence---I will be very, very pleased.   :patriot:
