So Antonio Saboto Jr. is speaking at the convention. Alrighty then.

The convention line-up includesTim Tebow 

So these two idiots are endorsing that Bozo for President….

And Kimberlin Brown!

That and the e-mails are the only thing they have, so I'm not surprised. 

 

On the business side, venture capitalist Peter Thiel,

 

Where's Hulk? 

 

In their place are the party officials obligated to be at the Quicken Loans Arena
 

You have to laugh.

 

I see that Trump is picking a hardcore anti-gay anti-woman bigot as his VP - it's frightening to think this type of person is so close to being President.

It's even more frightening when you consider that Trump has hinted that even if he wins, he might quit. Pence is essentially running for president now.

Trump has no intention of being President or doing real work. I'm surprised he hasn't quit before now, and I frankly still expect him to before November.

And Kimberlin Brown!

What? Kimberlin Brown is going to be a convention speaker? Holy hell.

Mike Pence scares me more than Trump! He is a bigot that has forced unconstitutional laws into the books in Indiana and governs using his religion. He is absolute trash! The thought of him being one heartbeat away from the presidency! Lawd!

I truly think he is running because he wrecked his career in Indiana and this is his ticket out.   Trump isn't really a christian whack job so this pick seems off, but I guess he feels he has to shore up the fundie base.   I really thought he would pick Newt. 

 

Supposedly they are devoting an entire night to Bill Clinton and how much they hate him and his scandals.   He should take it as a compliment.

Trump tried to back out of choosing Pence at midnight. This is all so hilarious.

With his ego? He's going to ride this all the way and milk it for all it's worth

Speaking of hilarious, has anyone seen the gif that someone made of the new TrumpPence logo?

 

LMAOOO! This logo is THE WORST! #TrumpPence pic.twitter.com/lCD4U78glh

Not surprised. I've never heard of him before yesterday but I am not surprised. I knew he had to be some kind of nut for Trump to select him, and for the Conservatives to be eager. Let the truth about him all come out now so come time for the election, he further demolishes Trump's chances. 

 

I'm ready for Hillary to select running mate. I still wish the party would strong arm her ass into selecting Elizabeth Warren, but I wouldn't be surprised if (like I've always said), she chose one of the Castro bros--a move to groom whichever brother to be ready to run in 8 years. 

Julian Castro will be President someday. I 60% expect him to be VP.

 

The NYT covers Trump's internal drama over choosing Pence at the last moment. Every day is a new meltdown for America's least prepared, least serious candidate.

 

More:

 

 

As late as Tuesday, advisers say, Trump had been leaning toward Christie, his longtime friend and now trusted adviser. Weeks earlier, Trump's children had been leaning toward Newt Gingrich, several sources said, dazzled by the former House speaker's charm and encyclopedic knowledge of politics.

 

Trump has long been skittish about confrontation with those who are loyal to him, and Christie had stood with him longer than most. So Trump kept calling him Thursday, not quite saying he had chosen Pence, but trying to convince Christie to take the job of attorney general.

 

Everyone around Trump knew Pence was the logical -- if boring -- choice, the kind of guy everyone describes as "nice" but one who would be the first to blush if Trump told an off-color joke. He and Trump scarcely knew each other, and his understated demeanor could not be more different than Trump's brash style.

 

Trump's children and Manafort decided Pence was the safe choice; someone who could be trusted, a calm, reliable counter force to Trump's unpredictable and erratic tangents.So as Trump was off in California on a fundraising trip Thursday, he and Pence spoke several times. But no formal offer was made. Trump just could not quite bring himself to do it.

@Vee, do you think that Donald's campaign is gonna implode down the line before the election b/c of he preferred Christie over Pence?
