Is he seriously about to pick MIKE PENCE as his VP? Does he not realize how awful of a pick this is?
>b-but Trump needs to appeal to Conservatives and unite the Republican Party if he wants to have any shot at winning! Trump's share of the Republican vote is currently identical to that of past Republican nominees. He's currently got 85% Republican support, Romney had 87% and McCain had 84%.
>b-but Pence will provide voters with a Conservative alternative to the far left progressive ticket! The political alignments are shifting. It's no longer about Conservative vs. Progressive. It's about Nationalist vs Globalist. This is why Trump has been so successful when it comes to independents and even disenchanted Democrats. They see in Trump the opportunity to elect a politician that completely reshapes the political landscape and establishes a new, America-centric party.
TL;DR By choosing Pence, Trump is chasing 10% of his party (that would probably vote for him anyway when it came time to pull the lever and the reality of a President Hillary Clinton set in) while at the same time alienating a far larger chunk of the electorate who will be completely turned off by Pence's hardline social conservative positions.
>implying him getting Newt, Pence, etc on stage in different states wasn't just simple A/B testing just like with the nicknames he gives people Doubt it will be Pence. Think Flynn, Paul, or some other more wild candidate.
Joseph Clark
Hopefully sessions gets picked but I understand if he'd prefer to stay a senator
Daniel Barnes
>Sessions imagine it, lad. After Trump's 8 years, a book is released on how America was revived. >TRUMP SESSION: The American Renaissance
Ethan Anderson
>Paul >Sessions
This your first election?
Owen Torres
>implying this election is normal have you been paying attention
Jonathan Garcia
not even the VP nominee but the shills are already running out in front of him to try and shift opinion. Hillaries war chest really is rather impressive.
Brody Hill
Romney got 0% of the conservatives he insulted behind him, which is why he lost badly in a massively low turnout against an embattled president who did not rally his own former support.
Connor Howard
I've been a Trump supporter since he announced last summer you conservacuck. Can't believe you fringe faggots are going to cost the Republican party another election because of muh abortion and muh gay marriage.
Juan James
Go get a hot pocket son, you've earned your break.
Jackson Cook
>look up Mike
>hes just some bible thumping neo-con faggot who labels himself a member of the tea party
pls no. Hes basically Sarah Palin
Luis Price
Rand Paul would never run with Trump. It's career suicide if he loses, and Rand has a chance at being president someday.
Dylan Russell
Worse than Palin. At least she's not a neocon.
Elijah Harris
>Rand has a chance at being president some day HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Alexander Brown
Leave your basement and go get some fresh air. This website is rotting your mind.
William Cox
Still a better choice than Gingrich
Carson Ortiz
Paul and Sessions are important to the senate, Flynn has nothing to lose. #NeverTrump is already dead in the dust. Trump should use his VP pick to make his statement as a unifier of the American people under the banner of nationalism, not of the established GOP order.
Jason Hernandez
Kek. Shills are already trying to create the narrative.
> we need to appeal to social degenerates
Anyone who was voting for their faggots and their cummies is voting for the democrats. You don't alienate your base for voters you won't get anyway. Go ask Malcolm Turnbull how trying to out left the left works.
Hudson Brown
People would have reacted to Trump the same way a year ago. In the right moment/political environment, Rand could become the guy.
I'm not saying his chances are high, but if he runs with Trump the train wreck and loses, they go to zero.
James Richardson
Can't he just pick a pro-life libertarian? I'm a pro-life libertarian. Why can't I be the VP?
Evan Lopez
This is when we find out if Trump's for real or not. If he is really going to take battle to the globalists than he understands the risks of picking an establishment VP. If he goes through with it, he is not on the people's side and no amount of FIVE DIMENSIONAL CHESS desperate excuse-making can change that.
Asher Long
I think you are on to something here. why pick someone conservative. If i where Trump i would pick a really liberal vp (the most liberal i could get to run with him, not sure who would tho), and steal a lot of those from the left who are disgusted by Clinton.
Brayden Foster
>You don't alienate your base for voters you won't get anyway.
Trump got the nomination despite literally everyone working against him. People are tired of this neo-con horseshit and it will literally never win again.
>hurr maybe this year people will vote for me because I said gays shouldnt marry and you cant have an abortion!
Noah Torres
...where is the Trump General?
Aaron Bell
penisballs
Justin Long
>waah waah why is he picking someone who will allow him to get things done when in power
Your republicunts will help to block everything he tries to pass if he doesn't make a token gesture to appease them
David Walker
>He's currently got 85% Republican support, Romney had 87% and McCain had 84%.
And guess what dipshit they both lost
Isaiah Kelly
It's probably going to be Pence, Sessions or Gingrich. Out of those three I'd pick Sessions.
I wish it'd be Rand, Webb, or Kasich though. I think any of those choices would bring in a lot of independents.
Gabriel Jackson
Didn't Pence try to pass some muh gays muh trannies law in indiana and got absolutely lambasted by the national media and all major corporations?
Seems like walking into a hornets nest by picking him
Samuel Robinson
Paul is going to be Secretary of state. It's going to be announced at the convention, screen grab this
Josiah Morgan
Nice proxy, Moshe. No one would suspect jewposting from Poland.
Ryder Hall
No lie I'd vote Trump if Kasich was his running mate.
Matthew Perry
It needs to be Flynn.
Easton Williams
You're right, we in Israel are very against an establishment GOP VP pick, there is nothing we fear more than generic cookie cutter neo-conservatives. Your genius knows no bounds, absolutely brilliant post and great detective work. Mossad is going to dock my pay for a week because of this, darn it.
Jaxson Carter
>Picking Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn is an attempt to "out left the left" Are you retarded? That's not what this is about. It's about recognizing the fact that the country has changed. There are far more people in this country who support gay marriage and abortion than there are people who oppose them, and to continue to make political decisions based on these two fringe issues is political suicide.
Colton Mitchell
>implying this election is normal
It is. Trump is just like Romney, they are both old rich white men won't don't care about your or me.
Colton Moore
>WE NEED FLYNN Nice try Neocon. We need Flynn like we need Bill Kristol.
Owen Richardson
>WHAT THE FUCK IS TRUMP DOING? Whatever retarded idea is floating through his head at the moment he decides to act, same as always. Just be glad the decision was held off until after he was finished fantasizing about Ivanka as VP.
Jaxon Sanchez
It's funny watching all these neocons and liberals attacking Mike Pence on twitter. Seriously go look... it's a massive flood against him.
Mike Pence has worked with Buchanan, so you know he's legit and exactly who we need as VP.
Bentley Nguyen
He had best not.
Jaxon Torres
Can't wait to see Sup Forums's collective face when Trump picks a neocon war monger bible thumper like Newt or Pence. Everyone will commit collective suicide and everyone will jump third party.
Tyler Roberts
is that right aye?
Nathaniel Walker
>Mike Pence has worked with Buchanan,
You mean the insane Christard Buchanan who said we need to die for Israel? All the more reason NOT to have Pence.
Adam Nelson
Ivanka Truml would be the best option. She would kill it with the ladies.
Justin Sanchez
We don't need Flynn, either.
Sessions, Christie, Gingrich, Santorum, or some wildcard like that. Has to be someone who will hit the media back hard. Someone who won't won't be ashamed of Trump and his positions. Someone who will crush any debate opponent and can light up a crowd.
Ryan Harris
This is an interesting theory, ive read about before your stupid images but honestly its just tinfoiling.
Sometimes you need someone to help you write a book, be it that person is friends with a """conservative""" political commentator - doesn't mean he's one of Bill Kristol's sleeper agents.
Bill Kristol is not that smart or conniving, he has a terrible track record of trying to Stump Trump's momentum
Andrew Davis
Trump one time said he would Oprah as his nominee. Google if you don't believe me.
>You mean the insane Christard Buchanan who said we need to die for Israel? All the more reason NOT to have Pence.
HAHA, nice try Shapiro. We're two steps ahead of you.
Benjamin Rogers
Ivanka is fucking based AF.
Julian Brown
>Sessions, Christie, Gingrich, Santorum,
All neocons Christards. Might as well put GWB on the ticket. GOP is fucking DONE
Liam Green
I thought you meant michele bachmann
Liam Stewart
Pat Buchanan bleeds red, white, and blue- American Patriot, through and through.
Henry Mitchell
Sessions and Santorum sure as shit aren't neocons. WTF
Ayden Bailey
You have no fucking clue what you are talking about. Let me break down the ongoing trend in Trumps campaign
>Trump does something >we freak out >turns out to be an amazing decision and we were wrong
But please tell me how your insight as a chair locked NEET has given you better decision making skills than TRUMP
Tyler Morales
Everyone who hates Newt Gingrich has no actual reason for why they hate him. He's a hero, and the only good "establishment" Republican of the last 25 years.
Landon Bailey
Flynn would be great, Webb would be amazing, Christie would be hilarious, those are the only good plausible choices
Brandon Ross
>Mike Pence has worked with Buchanan Well then, Pence supporting Trump's enemies didn't begin with him endorsing Cruz, what do you know?
Adam Torres
I'm just getting warmed up faggot... I'm going mach 5 in order to stop you getting your little neocon plant within assassination distance of Trump.
You can squeal and cry like the pig devil son of a bitch you are. It only gives me more motivation.
Charles Ross
I dont think Sup Forums would like it... But if Trump picked Mark Cuban as his VP a shit ton of on the fence and even some liberals would jump over to vote for a Trump/Cuban ticket
Joseph Ward
Rand, Flynn, and Webb would all be good. I'd be okay with Sessions or Gingrich though. Pence would be a terrible pick; he adds nothing to the ticket.
Justin Flores
Never mind. I just looked at all your idiotic posts and realized you are working for CTR and are to be treated like the toddler autist that you are. Get back to scribbling, you stupid fuck.
Kayden Gutierrez
Gingrich is going to DESTROY Hillary Clinton's VP nominee in a debate.
Gingrich wrecked the media in 2012. He was Trump before Trump:
This is the only running mate that will make Hillary REEEEEE
>Trump Lewinsky 2016
Jace Adams

Xavier Price

Samuel Watson
implying 18 year olds know who lewinsky is
Asher Williams
This tells you everything you need to know about who 'hates' Mike Pence.
Jackson Cruz
Pence is Trump Jr., same orange fake tan, weird hair, super shiny suit.
Newt would kick ass in debates, but he might outshine Trump -- can't have that. VPs have to have less charisma than the POTUS.
Nicholas Taylor
>(((Erza Klein)))
Jordan Perry
Ever since the influx of Sup Forumstards, the board has gone to shit.
Gavin White
>all these cuckservatives hating on my governor Based Mike Pence
Seriously get fucked, without social conservatism you're just liberals who like low taxes
Mason Robinson
None of the people Trump has been bringing out to rallies or has been showing up on mainstream news short lists will be the VP pick. All of these names are distractions and some of them purposely bad so when Trump pulls the trigger he can shock everyone and get max news coverage.
Parker Anderson
Pence is pro-TPP.
Nolan Murphy
I also want Flynn. Sessions would be dope too.
Lucas Kelly
He's gonna do whatever the fuck he wants whether we like it or not. And win.
Robert Harris
Pence was born in Columbus, Indiana, one of six children of Nancy Jane (née Cawley) and Edward J. Pence, Jr., who ran a string of gas stations. His family were )))Irish Catholic((( Democrats. He was named after his grandfather, Richard Michael Cawley, a Chicago bus driver who came to the United States from Ireland through Ellis Island.
