I cant believe nobody picked Pence. No winners on the R side.

His name was never mentioned as a possibility anywhere at that point, from what I recall.

Lol if everyone flopped can the bet just fly by without punishment

What punishment? I wouldn't have said anything had anybody ever mentioned a punishment.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Surprised everyone is surprised. I thought he had been in the running the last few months?

Shuster just tweeted Trump plans to announce his cabinet at convention, which will include all VP finalists.

What the fuck is Gingrich gonna do?

 

[HylianTom]

Well, Hillary has to be feeling no pressure on her pick now. This doesn't really change things all that much.

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Trump doubling down on anti-women sentiments via his VP further suggests to me there's no need for Warren on the ticket.

Sec State, I'd guess.

At best, it gives Trump Indiana, and I'm not even sure of that.

Real talk how dangerous is Pence?

Not super dangerous. Only reason he's seen as a "threat" is because he's not completely terrible like Palin / Gingrich / Sessions. So on a relative level he's seen as dangerous because he's not a pathetically terrible option, but on an absolute level he's going to get grilled over the RFRA stuff / gay rights issue.

Governor Mike Pence @GovPenceIN

Calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S. are offensive and unconstitutional.

Somehow I got converted over in the last month or so and now I really want Warren on the ticket. Let's go America!

 

[teiresias]

I want to know what Log Cabin Republicans think of Pence as VP.

 

[Kusagari]

Gingrich: Sec of State
Sessions: Sec of Defense
Christie: AG

 

[BitStyle]

Welp, Pence it is then.

C'mon Warren, you're my only hope.

TBH; I would probably change a lot of my negative views on Clinton's willingness to win at all costs if she went with Warren. I've been fairly cynical about her using Warren to try to get Bernie supporters on board without actually promising anything.

Aside: Pence being VP pick means that we need to start working on getting Pete Buttigieg (mayor of South Bend) as governor of Indiana. (He said he wouldn't run this term....but we can dream)

Dude's freaking awesome.

Also, he will be Adam approved shortly.

Polling is going to be in flux for about the next three weeks with the VP and convention stuff

 

[Bowdz]

What's this recent Vilsack talk for Clinton VP?

According to Halperin (lol fuck that guy) he is a longtime friend of Hillary and they get along very well. Personally, I a general rule of for VP selection is not to choose anyone who's name has the word "sack" in it.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

does trump have a vetting opperation?

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Christie was clearly going to be attorney general. At least that was what the idea is. ...If Trump won.

Pence will do a good job offending everyone Trump hasn't.

 

[pigeon]

Unrelatedly, here's an article from Vox about how the entire system of picking your VP while running is stupid and leads to bad VP outcomes and we should just get rid of it.

http://www.vox.com/2016/7/13/12159174/vp-terrible-gingrich

Alternately, we should create a constitutional norm that immediately after you're elected you make your VP resign and appoint an actually good VP.

I honestly don't understand why Christie would go through the humiliation, the drop in his polls, and the having to deny a story that he fetched McDonald's for Donald Trump, in order to get Loretta Lynch's job.

Like, I'm actually surprised at his lack of ambition. He was going to be president! Before he turned out to be Tony Soprano without the leadership skills.

Should have taken the time to clean out your twitter feed in advance of this.

EDIT: oops, I see this was already posted above

 

[Spoiled Milk]

I mean any social conservatives feeling concerned will feel much better now. Unless he becomes a completely different person there is no way he appeals to anyone but them though.

Trump and his team are so incompetent.

 

[Cybit]

does trump have a vetting opperation?

Either Trump's incompetent (never bothered to vet) or a genius (using this as concrete evidence that he's willing to walk back some of the craziness he has said). I'm not sure which yet. (Suspecting incompetent at this point though)

 

[Officerrob]

It's funny seeing all these people on MSNBC saying they don't know for sure it's Pence, while strongly hinting it's Pence

He can't walk back the trade deals though. That is a cornerstone.

Meanwhile, back in New York City:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...taffer-should-be-secret.html?via=twitter_page

New York judge ruled on Thursday that Donald Trump cannot keep his lawsuit against a former staffer behind closed doors for now.

Judge Eileen Bransten ruled that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee or his attorneys must show cause in New York Supreme Court on August 10 as to why the suit against former adviser Sam Nunberg must be kept in arbitration and out of a courtroom.

This could be interesting? I'm not a real lawyer and I'm not sure how serious an order to show cause actually is.

 

[greatgeek]

He can, and his base will gladly vote for not-Hillary.
