Indiana Governor to be Trump's VP Pick???
Permalink  
 

This is big news here. Who knows if it's true?

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence will almost certainly be chosen as Donald Trump’s running mate, according to a new report from the Washington Times.

The politically-conservative newspaper reported on Sunday that sources say Pence has a “95 percent probability” of being Trump’s VP choice. The sources are Republicans “close to the campaign and to the governor,” the paper says.

Appearing to back up the Pence-Trump rumors, Republican Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma sought advice from a lawyer on how to prepare a run for governor, the newspaper further reports.

The governor and presumptive Republican presidential nominee met in New Jersey last weekend. Trump tweeted afterward that he was “very impressed” with Pence, but the former Indianapolis radio host and congressman said Thursday he had not been offered the VP position.

 

Trump’s campaign is planning a rally in Westfield on Tuesday immediately after a fundraiser in downtown Indianapolis with Pence. The rally is scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. at Grand Park Events Center. Tickets are available on Trump’s campaign website. You can watch the rally live on WISHTV.com Tuesday evening.

Pence is considered a leading candidate to be Trump’s running mate. He’s listed as a host of Tuesday’s private fundraiser on an invitation obtained by The Associated Press. A Pence spokesman confirmed the governor’s plans to attend the private fundraiser. Tickets range from $2,700 per person to $250,000 per couple.

Trump is expected to name his choice in the coming days. Pence must decide by July 15 to either continue his campaign for governor or run as Trump’s running mate. If he accepts the VP nod, the state Republican committee will choose a new gubernatorial candidate to run against John Gregg in November.

Pence is expected to attend the rally, which would be the latest in a series of apparent auditions for Trump’s vice presidential prospects.

Yes, I know that. Rumors abound.

It sounds like the crowds will be far enough away from where we live.

 The VP picks this time around for both sides seems to be more secretive.  Conventions are only days/weeks away.  Strange.

There were rumors that one 9f the candidates was talking to our governor as well. Thank goodness she's out of the picture.

The irony for me?

Since last year, there have been yard signs in many neighborhoods saying "Pence must GO!"

Trump just came as close as he ever will to naming his Vice Presidential running mate. It appears he wants Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to join the ticket. This is a political earthquake that would shake the political establishment to the core!

Trump also expressed that he would be choosing someone with political experience, a notion that he and his surrogates have frequently mentioned as a factor. Other names on Trump's list are said to be Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

 Every day there's someone new.  It was Christie a few days ago.  I'll believe it when he names them for sure.

I suppose Trump and Hillary's choices for VP are a lot more important than the choice has been historically.

Providing the public with the name of the person they feel should be a key advisor or worthy successor is something voters are anxious to see.

It says he is having a difficult time selecting a (potential) VP. 

It says that this is a very important decision for both candidates at this time in the race.

It doesn't say anything at all . Has Hillary announced her pick yet? So, yeah. You infer whatever you want to infer with your bias.

 Why so defensive? 

This thread is about Trump, I included Hillary because they both have the same issue at the moment.

Take a pill.

With the people he claims to be qualified to represent.

Or maybe it says that today is Monday.

And my "baby's" birthday!

I wanted to update the thread!

The Donald's visit:

Attendees lined up as early at 6:30 in the morning Tuesday. By the time the doors opened at 4:30 p.m., several hundred were standing in the hot sun waiting to get inside.

The event was scheduled to start 7:30 p.m., but started an hour late which caused some to leave early.

Some explained Trump’s speech was exactly what they were expecting and had heard before, but they were glad he touched on the ambush on the officers in Dallas.

They also were glad he offered his condolences to the two men killed at the of police in Baton Rogue and Minnesota.

A few people we talked with were simply excited to see Trump in person. They had missed out on his Indiana rallies during the primary.

“I’m not for Trump or for Hillary right now. I’m hoping this would kind of swing my opinion a little bit, seeing him in person,” said Shaun Cook of Westfield. “I know a lot of people are upset with what’s going on around the country right now and I’m one of them too. And things really need to change and I’m hoping being here tonight will swing my opinion more towards him.”

Pence has made headlines across Indiana and the US for the wrong reasons, specifically his handling of RFRA.

“Pence has done a lot of things the past couple of years that Indiana, people from Indiana are upset about too, so I think it’ll hurt him honestly in Indiana. I don’t think he should go with Pence. Chris Christie would probably be the best bet for him,” said Cook.

Yeah, I don't know. It's hard to judge if someone is a good pic based on the opinion in the state the person is from. Those opinions aren't held nationwide because we don't have first hand knowledge of his actions.

 Oh, I totally agree...

I guess Trump is making THE Announcement Friday?

Or not...
