OMG: Trump got cold feet about Pence and tried to dump him per NBC & CNN

Donald Trump “was so unsure about” Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate “that around midnight last night he asked top aides if he could get out of it,” CNN reports.

NBC News confirmed the report.

Washington Post: “If anything, this leak is just the latest proof of how poorly the whole thing has been handled. And that poor handling, in turn, makes the rumor seem quite plausible.”

Show the religious nutters you're not serious and the Teahadists that you lack conviction.

In a post a couple of days ago I gave him two weeks before he started shitting on Pence, much as he did with Christie after the latter endorsed him. Shit, this didn't even take 24 hours.

specifically because he was second-guessing his choice of Pence. The reports all say Pence was pushed on him by his kids and his SIL, but that he preferred Christie. I figured he would use the postponement to give him a chance for a do over. Now there will be the extra spice of tension and resentment between the running mates.

Heh heh heh.

When is the popular media going to notice or tell the audience about the inept, dime-store quality of the Trump campaign's operation? These clowns make the 1962 Mets look like the model of efficiency.

once aides informed him that his VP selection had to be a Republican.

And only those among the Bat-Shitiest wold be acceptable to the GOP base.

Its all Pence's fault. Dapper Donnie got to where he is in this election going with his gut - so see what happens when the party tries to get him off course?

Etc etc etc, ad nauseum.
