Trump says he hasn't picked Pence

NBC's New York affiliate has video of Pence getting off a plane in New Jersey:

You need to change the thread title, Trump is now saying he hasn't picked Pence, or anyone.

You need to change the thread title, Trump is now saying he hasn't picked Pence, or anyone.

But numerous news outlets are saying that he's offered it to Pence, and that he's accepted.

And Trump himself is saying they're wrong, he's made no final offer.

Also, Gingrich and Christie are both already in New York City or nearby. And Trump praised Christie/Gingrich just an hour ago.

I would assume that’s his clumsy attempt at subterfuge, leading up to the “official” announcement.  Look, we were in a similar situation four years ago, when it was leaked that Romney had picked Ryan.  Numerous news outlets said that their sources told them that Romney had offered Ryan the job and he’d accepted, but many posters here didn’t believe it.

But whatevs.  I’ve changed the subject line to “Trump apparently picks Pence for veep”, to make it sound a bit less definitive.  Even if this is some kind of weird con, it’s still an “apparent” pick, since the news outlets are reporting it.

CNN said the Supreme Court struck down ObamaCare, remember? They can be wrong. Especially when it comes to Trump. It's not a similar situation to Romney because Trump flat out went on TV and said they were wrong and he made no final offer. I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the Trump campaign honestly thought he picked Pence but misunderstood since Trump does things his own way.

I can't believe Trump picked a social conservative. I thought one good thing about a Trump ticket would be the end of that nonsense. Ugh.



Oh and it's great how he "postponed" it from 11am today, only to announce it at 10:50am today on Twitter.
