We know how Donald acts when he can't have his way..... I can't wait until this flames up on the trail.

rumors of a "deal"being made.

I firmly believe that the deal was "you take Pence or you might not get the nomination".

And, if I were Trump and somehow get elected... I would hire a bunch of food tasters and no go out in public much... I think the GOP establishment likes the idea of "President Pence".

We'll find out about it for sure. He won't be able to contain his tantrum.

Really good rumor/intel. Thanks.

Pence is a Koch brothers tool. Apparently their plan B is that the fool Trump, if elected, would get himself impeached.

Well, it sounds more like their plan Z!

I don't know what I'd want Dems to do in that situation: vote against to keep the Trump rope wrapped around the Republicans' necks for the next election, or vote for it but get President Pence.

It makes Trump look indecisive. Which he is. He is indecisive, right? Because indecisive is great and it's great to be indecisive. Many of his best friends are indecisive. He'll make indecisiveness great again.

Right?

Sorry, I got carried away. But I have YET to hear Trumpence explain ONE part of his plan to do anything. I can only imagine the stress put upon him by having to pick a running mate.

That means the Indiana Governor's election just became open season! And we might have a chance to get a decent Governor in that state and overturn those hideous, hateful, Jim Crow style discrimination laws???!!!
