Donald J. Trump’s campaign has signaled strongly to Republicans in Washington that he will pick Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana, as his running mate, though Republicans caution the party’s mercurial presidential candidate may still backtrack on his apparent choice.
Putting aside any political argument, one way or the other, Pence is boring. Pence is more boring than Al Gore. Pence is more boring than watching paint dry...... Oops, I already mentioned Al Gore.
WTF is Trump thinking? This is a very poor choice.

My dream pick is Sarah Palin, lmao. I'd drag my balls over broken glass to see a debate between Elizabeth Warren and Sarah Palin.
With this VP pick, Trump has reaffirmed that the GOP stands for white male hegemony.
Believe it when they announce it. I don't believe it for a second. Trump is the type that would float this balloon just to make the real pick more juicy. He's a PR candidate and would be right up his alley. My bet is either Gingrich or someone who isn't thought to be on the short list.

That would be absolutely amazing to watch.
I would agree that Pence is likely a weak campaigner, and thus will not be of much help on the campaign trail, but at least he is an adult. Trump surrounding himself with some sane adults is a good thing for him, though I think Pence associating himself with Trump shows lack of judgement on his part..
I don't know if I could either of their voices for an entire debate. Might drive me to drink.

I've not seen or heard Pence debate or speech, so I don't know about paint dry and all that.
It's a pretty much foregone conclusion that this general election is going to be a great big mud slinging contest, in that, Newt would be valuable to Trump, as he makes his points clearly and poignantly and very effectively, and still comes off as a adult - a good fit for a Trump VP, if you ask me.

Or.. he could just be picking a socially conservative politician to help him consolidate a base made up of women and men who don't think he is conservative enough.

Is there some rule that says 2016 is the year of the woman?
Why haven't you said anything about the Dems picking only old white people?
That would be absolutely amazing to watch.

Plus Pence is an "insider". He has experience in both Congress as well as running a state.
I hate to give Trump props for anything, but I have to hand it to him if Pence is his pick. He's a good choice for Trump.
Pence is a terrible pick for a person who already has trouble attracting moderates and independents on social issues.
It would appear that they have taken to the old approach of hoping that socially conservative voters will help them win rather than appealing to moderates and indies
It could be because they already picked a man of color 8 years ago, and then again 4 years later.
Sorry about that, but you gave me such a huge opening, I just couldn't resist. LOL.
