I really believe he was asked to wait until after the debate to make the announcement so it wasn't the central focus of the debate.

It's pretty clear Ghouliani reached the scum at the bottom of the barrel long ago so he's got nothing to lose.

Doesn't look like Pence is going anywhere. I initially thought he'd bail, but he's affirmed his support for the sexual predator.

But I think the electors can't vote for both. I'm quoting from memory, so I guess I'm leaving myself open.

I guess the question would be whether Trump's ego would allow him to write off NY.

In the evening, Pence, who has described himself as a "Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order," told a Rhode Island fundraiser that he was committed to the real estate mogul.

"He looked me in the eye and he said, 'Don’t worry, we’re going to get through this, we’re going to be OK,'" Rhode Island GOP Chairman Brandon Bell told WPRI-TV of his meeting with Pence.

Forget about Trump stating that he had doubts about Pence and really wanted Christie.

When Chris Christie was a NJ federal prosecutor, he prosecuted, convicted, and sent to prison the father of Ivanka's husband, Charles Kushner. Ivanka would not stand for Christie as a running mate.
