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 it seems Trump changed his mind.....

Maybe he's trying to play it off as a non-final decision to the media even though Pence probably has already accepted. Why else would two Republican congressman file the paperwork today to run for governor?

Because they thought Mike Pence would be the pick. Trump could have changed his mind after Pence had been offered and accepted. Who knows?

Maybe after France, he decided to "be Trump" and pick a general, like he's said he's wanted to do.

Thats what I'm thinking, I think Flynn could be a major dark horse right now.

Maybe he'll pick two (or more) VPs and let the convention delegates vote them down one at a time, reality tv-show style.

I don't think it's going to be Pence.

But if Trump isn't announcing his running mate tomorrow, he must be waiting until the convention to do so.

The Orange Chaos Muppet is playing everyone and the show is just about to get started.

Was The Apprentice democratic in any sense?  No.  He's much more likely to bring up the two VP finalists on stage at the convention and tell one of them "you're fired."

The question about Pence is actually answered today: If he does not withdraw for the gov race, he won’t be the pick. If he does, he is the pick.

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."

LOL, he can’t be that dumb and drop Pence after he got out of the gov race. But who knows? It’s the Trumpster. I wouldn’t be surprised after all if he comes out with a complete wildcard for VP.

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?

Logo makes sense as Trump will literally be screwing Pence for the rest of the campaign.

The T in the P looks like some kind of cult logo, and then there's the obvious sexual innuendo. I kinda like it though oddly enough.
