Twitch chat is going to be glorious.

It surely will be a great fun, but I'm just afraid, that if the current trend set by trump and likes continues, soon the twitch chat will be how politcal conversation looks like and the candidates will cater to that.

Disgusting VP pick. Way to erode your support among moderates and independents by picking an anti-gay social conservative. That did so well in 2008 and 2012.

He should have chose General Flynn.

He's probably already regretting his decision even more now than he was last night

Am I the only one wondering if the madman would change his mind?

Edit: I think the gay thing needs to be put to bed. There are a lot of people who would hesitate to vote for someone who, more than a year after the supreme court gave it the thumbs up, would still try to overturn it. That ship sailed. It really, really sailed. Dare I say, it makes the ticket look out of touch. Don't like 67% or some similar amount of young republicans support gay marriage? This is gonna be a real bummer for them.

No.

I hope he does. Not just because I think it would be hilarious (and wouldn't really feel bad for Pence getting shafted at all) but because Flynn is just objectively a better pick both for winning the election and for meeting the criteria of being a quality person of integrity that ought to be a metric used for determining the VP.

At the very least, he isn't dictated by backwards social policies like Pence is.

Trump needs to change his mind on this.

This combined with Trump tweeting his VP after cancelling the announcement today just adds to my comment from yesterday that it felt like he was getting cold feet.

And yes, the pivot to the center, which was already dead, has now been truly buried.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Pence pick has nothing to do with moving right. Pence was favored by some of his kids because he's safe and boring. That's the rationale. And no one is going to stop supporting Trump because of this. They are already voting for Trump, now they are going to offended by Pence? As we've seen in senate polling, people treat Trump as Trump, and don't really associate him with others or the party as much as was feared.
"But, as the conservative understands it, modification of the rules should always reflect, and never impose, a change in the activities and beliefs of those who are subject to them, and should never on any occasion be so great as to destroy the ensemble."

The Pence pick might actually backfire in terms of alienating older white women who tend to vote conservative. Have person as VP telling them that their children, or possible grandchildren that might be gay that they aren't real citizens is really a great way to turn off that voting bloc.

I am surprised at your strong feelings towards Pence's integrity considering your support of Donald Trump for Commander in Chief.

Also I like when people say "objectively" when stating opinions they feel particularly strongly about.

Highly disagree with the Pence pick, this election is going to come down to bernie supporters and independents. This type of social conservatism will really put off that voting block even more than their resentment towards HRC. Should have just gone with his gut and gone with Christie or one of the generals. His campaign has always been about following his gut and doing what he feels is right, now some idiot aides are applying 'strategy' to a campaign that has been anything but that. Sad to see, it might have been his own family that were too stupid to see how this is a bad move.
Question.?

I am shocked, shocked that those proposed plans might violate the Constitution. Shocked that the goverment can't register you based on what church you attend.

looks like the pence pick is just getting trump a lot of bad press about how disorganized his campaign is... its just a news cycle though, it'll be longer before we see the actual impact on the race

Quick reminder that the supposed calculated businessman who wants the nuclear launch codes couldn't even confidently pick a VP with several months to vet.

Also, good luck winning an election with only white males with Pence. I guess Trump can take comfort in that he'll probably beat Mondale's numbers so he won't be the biggest failure of a presidential candidate in US history.
