Trump announces Pence will be his running mate -- discussion thread

[Holmes]

So Trump is letting the Clinton team attack Pence and the media dissect his bad qualities and decisions as governor for a whole day before formally announcing him?

Ahahha look at the logo!

I can't believe they released a logo in which everyone will think it's a P being screwed by a T.

Didn't the Trump camp leak earlier in the week that they were going to leak the choice on Thursday?  I really don't buy the false outrage here; either that or Trump has zero control over his operation.

Anyway, hopefully the TP ticket gets a good TP-ing around Halloween.

I think this running mate selection got out of control for him with a lot of people in his campaign and family all wanting different things that I think he made a decision and regretted it almost instantly, and used the attack in Nice as his excuse to postpone his decision to see if there was a way to get out of it. Doesn't reflect well on his ability to make choices as President.

Trump immediately left the room after introducing Pence. He can't even stomach staying in the room to back his VP

I heard. Just woke up so I haven't seen it, but this was his running mate's introduction after the disaster that was yesterday? And he said he picked Pence to unite the party? Not the country? Not because he's best for the job? Wow.

[Holmes]

Oh man, Trump walked off the stage when Pence got on. He doesn't like Pence.

So I read Pence's job approval in IN is about 40/42. Should the Clinton camp make a play for IN like Obama did? Run a state-specific campaign against Trump/Pence.

Pence's unpopularity in Indiana will probably just mean his favorite son effect in the state will be a wash.
