"We have another contender the one time talk radio host Rush Limbaugh on decaf who chats his way to the Governorship, the guy who blew his Presidential aspirations over his cock up in his handling of Indianas Orwellian named religious liberty law, the guy who evidently Trumped regretted picking as his VP even before Trump officially picked him as his VPCNNs Dana Bash and NBC News Kelly ODonnell both reported that Trump got cold feet Thursday night over his apparent veep choice, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. According to Bash, Trump was so unsure about his offer to Pence that around midnight last night, he asked aides if he could get out of it. ODonnell tweeted that the real estate mogul was on the phone late into the evening on Thursday, asking if he could change course on VP pick. It is not like the negative feeling is not mutual -no it is much worse than that The National Reviews Tim Alberta reported in April that longtime friends of Pences said the governor loathes Trump. Alberta stood by that reporting on Friday. A match made in hell then. Yes meet the Stupipdarty of 2016, a year when every day is Christmas day

But he either pretends or is too stupid to know whether he does or not.

(8,377 posts)Many politicians are dopes, but most of them at least have political savvy. This guy has none of that. He had a whole series of stupid moves, culminating with the RFRA thing that made him infamous.
He really is a laughing stock. The Indiana GOP probably is celebrating now that Trump pulled Pence out of the Governor race. There was a very good chance he would have lost that, even though his opponent (Gregg) have very little on the ball either. The chances of the GOP holding the Governor's Mansion just went up considerably.
I have no idea why Trump did this, as I don't see where Pence brings anything to the ticket. Maybe it was a case where everyone else turned Trump down.
