[PeteB]

Anyone else think this is a big fake out?

Pence is just a really bad choice

It very well could be - we're talking Trump here.

I started a new thread on this:

More precisely:
Manafort remarked, "I think that Mr. Trump has reached a decision, but he hasn't -- he isn't prepared to announce it yet."

Trump/Pence (the urban/rural duo):


King Trump (and Pence):



Or, as the Democrats would design it:

Scoop: @realDonaldTrump was so unsure about @mike_pence that around midnight last night he asked top aides if he could get out of it

Yeah, attack in France my arse. He didn't want Pence and was looking for a way to dump him.

The question is - How is Mike Pence feeling now, after reading this?

Trump continues to disappoint. He should have picked someone whom he relates to but, if he agreed with his advisers on Pence, he should suck it up now and project enthusiasm.

You have to wonder how he would ever govern and make decisions on complex issues, if he can't manage a straightforward task such as the choice of his own VP or his own campaign.
