Trump postponing VP rollout after France attack - could he rethink his VP pick?

[wheniwasincongress]

Reports state that Trump preferred Newt or Christie for his VP, but his family and staff wanted Pence. Now that Trump has postponed his VP rollout of Pence tomorrow, could he still pick a different VP? How locked down does Pence have this? Pence has to file tonight or tomorrow if he wants to rerun as Governor. Could Trump pull the rug out from Pence, leaving him without VP and without his governor job?

[grossproffit]

1. Nope. He knows that he wouldn't get any attention with the latest terrorism attack in Nice.

2. I'm not saying

that Trump would announce a different VP tomorrow, but might choose differently from Pence privately tonight or tomorrow, and announce the pick later (like during the convention/next week.) You know he likes to change his mind, and he does what his guts wants (and according to reports, his gut doesn't want Pence.) I could totally see him screwing Pence, leaving him out of any job! Indiana law states Pence cannot run for re-election as Governor AND run for VP or President at the same time!

[grossproffit]

4. I understand. He wouldn't get any media coverage if he announced tomorrow. He's a lot of things, but

an idiot isn't one of them. He wants an entire news cycle talking about him.

3. There's something he's not sure about.

And he's using this to borrow as much time as he can.

Edit: It's his My Pet Goat moment. We didn't hear anything from Dumbya for hours after he left Florida like a scared rabbit. When his country needed a leader he was no where to be found.

5. His postponing the announcement is bullshit

Terrorist attacks happen all over the world. Does he think if he is president is work day stops when there's a terrorist attack in another country. Weak!

[kimbutgar]

6. You can bet he will be using this as an attack against Muslims.

He is that low to use it as a political weapon instead of expressing his sympathy with France.

[morningfog]

7. As I said even before the Nice news, I'll wait until his announcement

rather than go on rumors. He's an insincere and petty man with a huge chip on his shoulder.

[DonViejo]

10. It's not rumors, Trump tweeted he was cancelling tomorrow's hoe-down...

[morningfog]

30. I was referring to rumors as to who, not the timing.

[DonViejo]

8. Pence's political career is over if Trump has a change of heart...

tomorrow is the last day Pence can have his name removed as a candidate for reelection as Governor. He cannot simultaneously run for Gov and Veep.

[thesquanderer]

33. I bet there's some way out, it's probably just messy.

I understand Pence can't remove his name as a candidate for governor after today, but there must be contingency plans for what happens if a person who is on the ballot can't serve if s/he were to win.

[monmouth4]

9. All of the talk will not be about him so he'll wait...n/t

[Delphinus]

14. That's more like it. n/t

[Thinkingabout]

11. Maybe Pence turn him down.

[napkinz]

12. this should be called Trump's "McCain Moment"!

Remember in 2008 during the financial crisis when McCain suspended his presidential campaign. (He wanted to delay the presidential debate.)

Shows he's UNFIT to be president.

[writes3000]

13. We will know if it's Pence by early afternoon tomorrow. Pence must file IN paperwork for Gov race.

[wheniwasincongress]

15. my point is,

what if Pence doesn't file paperwork, onlyto be told Trump has decided to go with someone else last minute? You know Trump cxould do it, and not care that he screwed Pence!

[writes3000]

17. There would be Republican establishment outrage if he did that to Pence.

I think it is Pence and we will get that confirmation tomorrow when he drops out of the Gov race.

[thesquanderer]

32. Pence only has to file paperwork if he does NOT want to be on the ballot for governor. (n/t)

[HipChick]

16. he's a Gemini....they are very indecisive..

[pinboy3niner]

18. I swear it's like you have ESPN or something

I love astronomy!

[HipChick]

20. lol!

[HipChick]

22. I did not..

Thank you for that awesome update though...

[gwheezie]

23. Well done

The same crap over and over is tiresome

[Person 2713]

26. Already on my ignore but good to know

Thanks for the info

[spanone]

19. trump has postponed his announcement tomorrow guaranteeing at least 3 more 24/7 days of speculation

he's an opportunist, nothing more.

[herding cats]

24. He doesn't want to share the media time.

This could backfire on him. The leak of it being Pence today was his way of milking this for two news cycles leading up to dominating the Sunday talk shows. Now, tomorrow it'll be obvious it's Pence when he doesn't apply to run for governor again at the deadline. It's all going to be pretty much a done deal without him getting his HUUUUGE media blitz he was expecting.

[MFM008]

25. You win today's DU. Internet.

You get the mushy, tiny mess that is tRumps brain.
A. He doesn't want to share
B. He can drag this outttttttttttttt.
C. He could care less about France
I actually DONT expect him to pick Pence.
This is all a ruse...smoke for a bigger surprise.

[herding cats]

31. Can I just donate my prize?

Newt Gingrich, Chris Christi or Sarah Palin may take it off my hands. 😣

If Pence doesn't file tomorrow by the deadline, and Trump changes his mind about him, I am gonna laugh so loud at Pence for believing Trump they'll hear me in Canada!

[cosmicone]

27. Is Attila the Hun available? n/t

[etherealtruth]

28. NO ... his narcissism will only allow him to be on center stage

[Canoe52]

29. Sarah Palin?

Is there still hope that he'll pick Sarah???

[oberliner]

34. Dozens killed in Paris terror attack and Trump still keeps the focus on him

The hold he has over people is mystifying.

Who gives a crap what VP candidate he picks?

[randome]

35. No, this is just Trump "pivoting".

He's such a novice at this sort of thing.
