3. This is really getting good

Chris Christie is still waiting by the phone.

6. LOL...I just had a thought of Christie sitting by the

phone waiting... patiently...

While Adele's "Hello" plays in the background.

[reflection]

17. You know...

I just realized I haven't heard anything out of Christie regarding this latest development. Has he said anything at all?

[First Speaker]

4. Then what? Does the GOP convene a convention to anoint a new VP choice, like the Dems did in 1972?

...what in God's name happens then? Does Trump name the replacement? Would the convention ignore him, and name their own choice? Could they reopen the whole nomination itself, and replace Trump with Pence, or Ryan, or anybody? And all in four weeks? Jesus H Christ on a hobbyhorse...get me the popcorn...

14. Why would they need a convention?

Presidential candidate picks a VP candidate.

[pnwmom]

16. I think their rules call for the RNC to vote to approve any choice.

That's how it worked when Eagleton left and was replaced with Shriver.

18. the Dems didn't convene a convention in 1972 it was the national committee that

nominated the successor to Eagleton.

[First Speaker]

20. Thanks--at my age, me memory starts playing tricks on me...

...plenty of popcorn, in any event...

[Doctor Jack]

5. Holy fuck

[bigdarryl]

7. That link says nothing.about Pence doesn't mention his name

[bmstee01]

8. Is this being reported on CNN?

[bigdarryl]

10. Nope not at all

[meadowlark5]

9. I think the presidential candidate chooses

Most normal candidates consult with advisors but I don't think they have to. Trump never wanted Pence, he wanted Gingrich. I'm sure thst washed up toad would be up for it.

[LisaL]

13. If Pence were to drop out, Trump would just pick someone else.

[liberalmuse]

11. He won't drop out.

He'll stay "for the sake of the GOP". I'm calling BS (though I've been wrong countless times before).

[MFM008]

12. Don't try to figure out

what someone with religious delusions and hangups will do.
Also remember he has a definite PLAN to run himself.
Anything can happen.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

21. I really think if somehow Trump wins, Ryan will impeach him

They'll install Pence...Assuming the have the votes.

[Ken Burch]

15. Would he be eligible for the Witness Protection Program?

You'd have to think some of the Drumpfmacht will be gunning for him...and I don't mean figuratively.

[book_worm]

19. There is nothing to this especially since CNN is not reporting anything on

their network.

[cwydro]

22. I've heard nothing on this either.
