Formal announcement expected Friday Donald Trump is planning to announce that Indiana Gov. Mike Pence is his choice for his vice presidential running mate, according to a Republican with direct knowledge of the decision. As Trump narrowed in on his choice of Pence, the two men spent time at both Trump's golf resort in New Jersey in early July and at the Indiana governor's mansion this week. In addition to testing the men's chemistry together, Trump was reportedly impressed with Pence's calm demeanor, his experience on Capitol Hill and as a governor, and Pence's potential to assist Trump in governing, should the ticket win in November. - See more at: http://www.rollcall.com/mike-pence-chosen-as-trumps-v-p-nominee/#sthash.xig33I7C.dpuf Pence, 57, served 12 years in Congress, rising to the No. 3 post in the House Republican leadership, before leaving to run for Indiana governor in 2012. There, he faced criticism for his handling of a religious liberties law that many said would discriminate based on sexual orientation and gender identity. When he backpedaled in the face of boycotts, he angered some conservatives, as well. - See more at: http://www.rollcall.com/mike-pence-chosen-as-trumps-v-p-nominee/#sthash.xig33I7C.dpuf

Don't be a dipshit. It's common to "leak" a VP choice, then retract it to see public opinion without harm. Use your noodle, hondope
Heard today on the radio, and read elsewhere that it is true that Pence is a mainstream neocon globalist, America-last, establishment Republican. That he is against banning Muslims from the US, and that he is pro Free Trade, pro NAFTA, and pro TPP. WTH is up with that ???? That DOES NOT square with Trumps stated positions !!!
Trump is trying to make his ticket a more well rounded team. They purposely looked for a VP to fill in the gaps where Trump falls short. Trump is widely more popular that the socialist cunt, however, if that filthy whore decides to team up with commie sanders, Trump might have his hands full.
Well, if Pence's views are as I have heard, I don't think it is a good choice.

I doubt Trump picked him for anything less than a scientific-factual study that shows this no-name is the single best choice to increase Trumps popularity and appease the trump hating conservatives. However, this might sound a little Decktard like far out CT, but I'm still not counting out that Trump dumps him within a few weeks for another choice. Who knows.
