punching and counter-punching, and ends the exhausting speculation as well as the audition criticisms.

I'd venture a guess that his campaign already picked someone.
Just get on with it already.

I never understood the calls for him to name his VP early. That just gives GOP more time to attack whoever he chooses.

Because it'll be a woman, people will be more likely to believe all the lies and fake news that's going to come her way. Better to put it off for as long as possible.

That's why, when they said he was going to announce months early, it made no sense since it only gives the GOP more time to attack "the ticket", not just the individual candidates.
