Donald has made small gaffes. This is his 1st big one and I anticipate he and the Gov will not be getting along soon. He had the chance to select a well known, vetted, and welll liked people. He MAY have just given away the election.
I disagree. Trump needed an established Republican with a history in government without turning off the far right. He has that now.
Dems will demonize everyone and anyone he chooses, so don't let that bother you in the least. His job as VP is to be there in case Trump dies, not much else. Pence's stand on Gay rights, women's rights, abortion and anything else you throw at him doesn't matter. He's not there to create new laws and policies.

I'm guessing that Mitch Daniels is a much stronger candidate than Mike Pence would have been.

Republicans won't win the Presidency until they take a neutral stance on LGBT rights & abortion rights.

The whole homosexual thing is way overblown and is not an election year issue.

Trump will win the general because of Trump. The VP position is a non issue. The battle is between Hillary and Trump, and may the better man win!

I'm not voting for Pence or Pee Wee Herman. I'm voting for Trump.

"GO TRUMP" or live in a 3rd world dump governed by the criminal organization of crooked Hillary.
Yeah, Trump is the only thing that will stop our slide into the 3rd world .

Well Daniels says he's not interested, and is happy to stay at Purdue.

Maybe Trump thinks if he doesn't like him, he can fire him later. It's all a reality show.
