Donald Trump Makes It Official: It's Mike Pence
After saying he would postpone the Vice Presidential pick today, Trump broke his own word and named Indiana's governor.
After the horrible truck attack in Nice, Trump tweeted out that he was postponing his Vice Presidential pick out of respect, after it was leaked to the press that Pence was the guy.
In light of the horrible attack in Nice, France, I have postponed tomorrow's news conference concerning my Vice Presidential announcement.

Suddenly, Trump reversed himself and confirmed the Indy Star, who first reported Gov. Mike Pence was the choice.
I'm guessing he wanted to quell the heat he was getting by his most ardent followers for making Pence choice.
I am pleased to announce that I have chosen Governor Mike Pence as my Vice Presidential running mate. News conference tomorrow at 11:00 A.M.

I'm wondering if he'll use an excuse that since he tweeted it, he still didn't hold a press conference?
Conservative pundit Jennifer Rubin, was not pleased with Trump's handling of the pick.
The worst VP rollout EVER https://t.co/42BqFJje28

Huge Trump supporter Ann Coulter was very angry over the news of a Trump/Pence ticket
Trump has twice Bush's IQ. Why would he pull a Harriet Miers?

Withholding comment until it's official, but if claims about Pence as VP are correct, boy was I right about this being Trump's first mistake

Better VP picks for Trump! Kris Kobach, Scott Brown, Pat McCrory, Mike Crapo, David Clarke, Mike Tyson, my next door neighbor ...

This is Trump's first mistake?
Conspiracy nut, Alex Jones is shrill about Mike Pence:
