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 !!!
He appears to be the polar opposite of Trump. Could be that he was ordered to pick Pence, just like Reagan was forced to pick GHW Bush as his running mate. And we all know what happened to Reagan. Apparently Trump changed his mind about what he wanted in a VP within the past 24 hours, at least according to Roger Stone. Trump "Does Not Want A Globalist" Or Member Of Council on Foreign Relations What you want is someone solid, dependable, and effective as a campaigner. And knowing Trump, I would add a couple other critera. He does not want a globalist, he does not want someone who belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations, he does not want someone who is part of the Washington-New York elite. And that is who he will pick.
Hadn't heard that. By whom?

Hadn't heard that. By whom? Perhaps "forced" is too strong a word. Reagan wanted Ford - ...the shadow government did not care for Reagan when he first ran for president. He (Reagan) would sometimes speak out against the Trilateral Commission, and other secret government organizations. After winning the White House, Reagan, never known for his detail oriented approach to administering, probably unknowingly allowed his cabinet to be filled with the same shadow government types he campaigned against. However, it was still early in his first term, and the insiders still did not feel comfortable with him in the White House. Bush, the ultimate insider, was someone they could count on. At the very moment the assassination was to take place, Bush was on his way to speak before the globalist/communist Trilateral Commission. Reagan was no fool. He must have at least suspected what was really behind the assassination attempt. Close associates claim he was never the same again after that day. Whatever plans he may have had to go against the wishes of the shadow government ended on March 30 1981. For the remaining 8 years of his presidency, he was, more or less, reduced to doing the will of the secret government.
Hadn't heard that. " Your kidding, right ?
