Trump Picks Indiana Governor Mike Pence as VP

Just in: Trump will delay the event tomorrow in respect for the terror attack in France.

Trump will officially announce his choice for VP tomorrow but early reports indicate Mike Pence will be Trumps Vice Presidential running mate. The Indystar reports Pence is “is dropping his re-election bid ” for governor:

Trump’s long-awaited decision upends the political landscape in Indiana and at least partially remakes the Trump campaign in Pence’s image.

In Pence, Trump has added a social conservative who GOP strategists say will reassure rank-and-file Republicans that Trump can be trusted to pursue their interests. Veteran political observers say Pence, a former U.S. House member and chairman of the House Republican Conference, will provide a disciplined counter to Trump’s improvisational campaign style. Pence also brings fundraising power and credibility on a wide range of policy issues that are important to conservatives. Pence is set to officially become the vice presidential nominee during the Republican National Convention, which starts July 18 in Cleveland. He could become the first vice president from Indiana since Dan Quayle took office in 1989 under George H.W. Bush. Pence’s departure for national politics sets up a scramble among Indiana Republicans to determine who will replace Pence to run against Democratic challenger John Gregg in the November gubernatorial election.

The convention begins next Monday. I look forward to the next chapter in this crazy election cycle. I think Trumps choice is wise, Pence will bring strength and stability to the ticket.

    Whatever can the man be thinking? His political career has come to an end.

  2. Nate says:

    In December, Pence tweeted “Calls to ban Muslims from entering the US are offensive and unconstitutional.”

    I wonder how he squares that with his decision to be the VP on Trump’s doomed ticket.

    Such wispy complaints when one considers the hefty pile of dung sitting on your entire party’s plate.

    Idiannna, Indianna, Indianna…

    Balance

    Unifying force.

    Agreement is boring…only you lock steppers are required to do it. Perhaps that’s the reason you make such an ungodly mess everywhere.

    Bernies so-called endorsement of Hillary ran nearly an hour and it sounded more like a stump speech for himself. Clinton was forced to do the bobble head during the entire thing…the fix is in and Bernie swallowed the poison but not without a little payback.

    NYT, “Bernie’s Uninspiring Endorsement”

    Clinton — who actually wrapped up the nomination more than a month ago — stood next to him looking uncomfortable, nodding endlessly like a bobblehead doll and smiling at odd, seemingly random moments.

    The event was bound to be stiff, since Sanders has spent most of the year attacking Clinton as corrupt, excessively hawkish and beholden to Wall Street.

    So it would have been naive to expect Sanders to give Clinton a roaring tribute. But did it have to be as awkward as it was? Who thought of leaving the winner up there with the loser the entire time? The same public-relations genius who put Michael Dukakis in a tank in 1988?

    Politico, “Jill Stein shreds Sanders’ Clinton endorsement”

    Stein has suggested she would step aside as the Green Party’s standard bearer should Sanders wish to lead the ticket. “I’ve invited Bernie to sit down and explore collaboration,” she told The Guardian in an interview published last Friday. “Everything is on the table. If he saw that you can’t have a revolutionary campaign in a counter-revolutionary party, he’d be welcomed to the Green Party. He could lead the ticket and build a political movement.”

    “Many Berning hearts are breaking right now,” Stein tweeted, with a broken-heart emoji.

    Bernie Sanders supporters still plan to raise a big stink at the Democratic National Convention, despite their man’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton on Tuesday.

    A planned “fart-in” at the convention next month will go on as scheduled and will perhaps gain momentum following the endorsement, according to one of the protest’s proponents.

    Bernie Sanders supporters are feeling bern-ed after the Vermont Senator officially endorsed Hillary Clinton on Tuesday.

    Along with memes offering Sanders’ voters tubes of Preparation H, others offered swift condemnation of the former candidate for seemingly selling out the political revolution he inspired.

    “We just lost everything. I’ve never felt so betrayed,” one wrote. Another said, “I can’t believe I was rooting for you. You’re a f—— sellout.”

    So what did Bernie bring to the Hillary camp of ” heads up their ‘ ,……
    well that “depends!”

      Nothing to the Hillary camp! That is where people are foolish! The Media does not control any real Bernie supporter.

      The DNC is freaking out cause their plan did not work. Heads up who’s?

      Those would be the people who watch media and think they have a clue about the Revolution.

      Guess you will never know The Revolution will not be televised.

      BTW Bernie Sanders is still a Presidential candidate till the convention. May the handcuffs go on! But we know even the GOP is too scared to open up the real corruption! The Clinton Foundation that will topple gov both Dem and Rep.

      They are all crooks!

    Tina what do you even know about Pence? Nothing. Except he is a crazy Koch tea bagger.

    Indiana hates him and he could loose his IN election.

    Campaign finance records from 1990 showed that Pence had been using political donations to pay the mortgage on his house, his personal credit card bill, groceries, golf tournament fees and car payments for his wife. He waged a statewide apology tour.

    He took money from the tobacco industry and then said “Smoking Doesn’t Kill” in a nice little op ed.

    He is a typical corrupt politician who believes he should control peoples lives by his crazy religious ideas. But yet he will lie for his donors.

    You may recognize his Immigration Plan from 2006………. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2006/jul/25/20060725-092629-3249r/

    The people of Indiana are jumping for joy to get him off the ballot and end #BoycottIndiana.

    Trump is going to regret this but I am glad. It makes the Trump look pretty bad to have a homophobic establishment insider on the ticket. I suspect he paused announcing cause the negotiating with Koch was not sealed.

    Now on the Bernie deal, you seriously do not know what is going on? It is a Chess game. I have so much respect for him/ The DNC threatened him. First they said they would give him some concessions on platform if he endorsed. Then they said if he did not endorse he would be blocked out of convention and stripped of all his 1900 delegates. He would not be allowed to speak. And they have rules to enforce it. DId you even look at his face? He was hurting and under duress!

    Bernie decided to stay inside and fight. Many wish he would have booked but the Green party is still trying to get on the ballot. So he did not concede, Bernie is still a candidate.

    Bernie’s Campaign called all delegates at 6am that morning and said he wanted them to be there for roll call. We have a massive campaign to raise money to get them there as they have made it cost about 6K to attend. The breakfast where you pick up your badge is $200.00!

    He is still fighting and is playing the DNC’s chess game. They will railroad hm but he is doing what he thinks is best for the people. Make no mistake he is still a candidate who is being bullied by the DNC. He did not concede!

    Meanwhile his Photographer put out a video with an explanation.

    Nina Turner is campaigning with Jill Stein, and Cornell West endorsed Jill. All cues. People are trying to get Jill on the Ballots and her donations had a 1000% rise.

    Interesting deal is Jill is in VT. Staying for 6 days? Nina Turner went to VT. Nina will hit Stage with Jill soon.

    Bottom line A man fighting for his people. Anything can happen. But truth is Hillary is slamming him, cheating, and this is war. But if nothing breaks he is still leading the revolution. Media reports nothing so a few people are confused. Make no mistake Millions will never vote for Trump or Hillary

    The revolution is not about winning the white house. It is about getting the establishment corruption out. He has implemented the downticket institution and a new organizing site is in the works.

    Make no Mistake Hillary is just as corrupt as Trump. Look at the DNC convention ran by Republicans and Lobbyists funded by Corporations.

    This election is a “Controlled Opposition Coup” ran by big money interests. Both sides.

    The Battle of the Donors all hedging their bets on Both Sides. Even Charles Koch was looking to vote Hillary…. Pence may have changed everything, Trump is no fool He put Koch in the VP position. WHat will Soros and wall street do now?
