My mom calls him Fence and just told me she wants a Christina Aguilera CD. I'm not sure which is worse.
I wouldn't say that. Kaine seems like oatmeal with fiber, keeps you regular

Indeed. It's going to get completely lost between the talk of the tragedy in Nice last night (which will probably continue to dominate much of the news cycle today anyway) and the RNC starting up, and have barely anything to itself. Mess!

Don't worry about Christie. I heard McDonald's is going to start a delivery service soon.
What a wretched ticket.
True!

Don't worry, Milo will find a way around it.

Hillary gets to attack for a full day.
Everything about this is a disaster for Trump (not that I think his veep is gonna change the race)
Wait, are you suggesting that the Trump campaign might squander an easy political win due to their incompetence? Say it isn't so.

This is one of those moments where the difference between Hillary's organizational advantage and Trump's is going to be most pronounced. Her oppo team likely had a file with videos, tweets, and media already prepared for each contingency, allowing her an upper hand in defining/spinning Trump's pick early. He's a blank slate to a large percentage of Americans, so she gets the jump on tilting his ratings.

Yeah, the only thing Trump's Twitter announcement accomplishes is giving Hillary's team an entire day to set the narrative before Pence is even introduced.
So what you are saying is Hillary has Preptime?

Wasn't there a quote about Manafort being worried that Trump would just announce his VP pick on Twitter? Because that just came true.
Was about to post this. The more I see and read about this race, the more I think Kander is Blunt's antithesis.

LOL... CNN Copywriting needs some work.

At least Christie won't have to run very far.

His hand was forced. Having a big rollout event was out of the question because of Nice, and Pence had a noon deadline for filing for reelection as IN governor. Unless he *wasn't* the pick, the media would've picked up on Pence not filing and ruined the announcement even more.
Via text message, I believe. Followed by email and website leading up to a rally that afternoon.
This Twitter thread gets to the idea of a bungled digital announcement.

But his hand wasn't forced. He saw the media shitstorm yesterday. He could have done it then. He knew this deadline was coming up, but instead wasted time being wishy washy in public sight. Instead he bungled every part of it.
Also, that assumes he thinks a rally is inappropriate but a tweet about it isn't? There were so many different ways this could have gone without being forced or inappropriate.
Christie would have been able to talk at least. Watching Pence handled RFRA fills me with glee waiting to see him during debates and interviews.
Are you saying she's the night?

Going to be funny to see Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity backtracking their comments.
I agree. Trump just picked generic republican B who adds nothing to the campaign. This is a chance for Clinton to create further contrast with her VP pick.
This is really an amazing Twitter thread. Very strongly suggests that Trump got angry and just went and announced it himself.
But what's really impressive is that Trump's campaign was still super unprepared because they could have reacted to Trump's announcement by doing all this stuff. Apparently they just hadn't planned to do it!
Meanwhile it's been a half hour and Hillary has:
* Video
* Image macro for sharing
* New landing page for donations
* Blog post
I don't have my email solicit yet, I guess that guy isn't in the office. I'll lay odds it shows up in the next hour.
I kind of want to just go work for her campaign, not even because I think she's great and Trump is an existential nightmare, but just because they seem really competent and well-organized! Seems like a good place to work.
If I waited to start my final research paper until right before the deadline, and then my grandma ends up in the hospital, it's not my grandmother's fault that I have to scramble over the last 24 hours. My hand wasn't forced. I was ill prepared and ready to adapt to when life happens.
He knew (or his campaign did) that Pence's deadline was coming up. His campaign knew that this was leaking like crazy to the media.
The problem is the Trump campaign continues to be in disarray and even without Corey, there is still heavy infighting and pulling of Trump in multiple directions. Trump can't make a decision. The VP choice is the first easy "presidential" decision someone makes, and the rollout is the first easy execution of a "policy push" that they make, too.
Nice was terrible, but this was already terrible before Nice and remains terrible during Nice when you should be able to be effective through Nice.

in the end: Trump chose Pence for Koch money over Newt and his Adelson money

Yeah. I don't see what Kaine brings to the ticket, especially now that Pence is going to shore up Trump's support among white guys.
