Trump Picking Pence As Running Mate

[Ender]

Part of me thinks he's going to change his mind on the VEEP now because of this attack and go the national security route and pick someone like Flynn.

Or this gives him time to back out of Pence (who his campaign people like) versus Newt (who his kids like) and others

My guess has been Newt- but we shall see........

 

[nikcers]

Trump is too much of a Chris Christie hugger, Giuliani is on his fantasy presidential team too. He's connected to these globalists no other way he would get so much preferential treatment in the media. The solid money is on Chris Christie, I don't even doubt it.

We will know for sure about Pence tomorrow, if he files to run for reelection, it won't be him.

Would Pence accept a cabinet position? That could also be a reason not to file for re-election. Or he might not file because he will likely lose re-election.

better than Christie, but Newt would have been far better. Pence too establishment, and if anything goes wrong would give Trump no protection from impeachment. When Nixon picked Ford to replace Agnew his fate was sealed. Chaney protected Bush 43

Who is doing the lying about what people said? You accused CPUd of lying here:

Emphasis added.

Nobody said Trump would quit. So how is you accusing CPUd of lying on the basis of 'Trump never said he would quit' anything but a lie in itself?

You are splitting hairs. Trump never said he would or could quit. Period. Yet, the claim has been made on here several times that he did.

You may be ferocious enough, but you are not correct. How long are you going to keep thumping this tub? Are you capable of admitting you were wrong?

Trump NEVER SAID he could or would quit. Interesting that you are still trying to further this lie.

This. Plus all manner of passive-aggressive behaviors which are leading to infractions being passed out like candy. Three cheers for the neocon duopoly; looks like they're finding a way to divide the populace against itself again.

I can't claim to still be amazed at how rank-and-file Republicans get themselves played, over and over, again and again. I got used to that. What I can't seem to get used to is how proud they seem to be of getting played. Again and again.

I know the Republicans suck. Do you know the Libertarians do too?

I mean he is boring. Few Americans know him, and the media will have no interest covering him. Trump realizes that he has an advantage over Hillary in nearly every facet of the race. Voters like his policies better, they like him better, and all he has to do to win this thing is not screw up by doing or saying something crazy over the next few months. Conversely, Hillary's only hope is that Trump and his team DO commit some blunder and she is able to successfully demagogue it.

Christie or Newt are high profile guys with huge egos that might well give Hillary that crazy or controversial sound bite she's looking for. Flynn is a straight shooter with no political experience and you could easily see him making a huge mistake too. Pence is boring, experienced politician unlikely to say anything off script. And he's so uninteresting to the public and press that in the odd event he did say something interesting, there's a good chance nobody would be around to cover it anyway.

It is the 4th Quarter, Trump has the lead, and now he's just trying to run out the clock. Pence is the perfect pick for that. Objectionable to no one, boring, disciplined, and sure to be forgotten by next week and play little to no role in the campaign.

He's objectionable to me. He's a neocon. Kristol's anointed one. He's not as bad as Johnson's pick, Bill Weld, but sheesh. This ain't good. So, no celebration going on here if he does in fact turn out to be Trump's VP pick.

The Supreme Court is another issue that I see no other way around it than voting for Trump. I pulled the quote below from another thread and he makes a good point. How do you anti-Trumpers reconcile opposing Trump so vehemently that you are so willing to give Hillary the power to nominate Supreme Court justices?

If you live in 40 of 50 states, it doesn't matter who you vote for between Trump and Clinton. Choosing a palatable 3rd party and getting big numbers (double digits) to vote for them is the ONLY vote people will notice in non swing states.

That's the fact.

It's been answered several times.

This guy could even be POTUS on Day 2. Trump has said he could resign if he got elected and didn't feel like doing the job. Otherwise, he would be VPINO:

Would Donald Trump Quit if He Wins the Election? He Doesn’t Rule It Out

Ender
The Times cites a recent interview with the presumptive GOP nominee in which a scenario was posed to him about declining the presidency right after defeating Hillary Clinton. Trump, the report says, "flashed a mischievous smile," then says, "I’ll let you know how I feel about it after it happens."

The story goes on to say that this could've been simply another of the real estate mogul's bids to gain media attention, though notes that the idea that Trump's competitive desire to win the highest office in the land might surpass his interest in actually serving in it wouldn't exactly be wildly inconsistent with how some might look at this most unusual of campaigns.

And the specific word was "could", not "would".

Here is the link CPUd referred to where Trump's advisor states that Trump will "outsource the President's job to his VP":
