On air on MSNBC Friday afternoon, O'Donnell said that sources told her that Trump was unsure of his choice for vice president and was looking for a way to back out of the decision.

News leaked on Thursday afternoon that Trump would select Pence to be his running mate. Then, after the attack in Nice, France, the Trump campaign cancelled Trump's Friday morning even to announce his vice presidential pick. Trump subsequently went on Fox News and said that he had not made a "final, final decision," casting doubt that he had decided on Pence.

1. I believe it. He was talked into Pence. n/t

[maxsolomon]

2. hahahahahahahahha

into infinity

[Android3.14]

3. So Trump, how are those NDAs workin' out for ya?

[turbinetree]

4. TP

Does the Tea Party darling of the Toilet Paper ticket know how to use it first.
It's pretty hard to clean up once you miss it the first time, it kinda leaves a mess.

Now he is having second thoughts on TP ticket brand, there are only so many TP's to pick from in your grocery aisle

[C_U_L8R]

5. I bet Pence is really enthusiastic now (sarcasm)

Sounds like everyone involved made really dumb decisions.
I'm sure we'll see bigger, better blunders in the days ahead.

[riversedge]

16. well the TP was a silly decision.........

Don't think I can stop😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Doctor Jack]

6. A half thought out decision that he instantly regrets

Im sure they will be a strong team going into november

[MFM008]

7. showing how he would make strong decisions

NOT.

He wants out of this as badly as his first 2 marriages.

[lark]

8. Great decision making skills on Drumpfs' part, LOL.

This just shows how the media sway our elections. If people knew the truth about this asshole, very few would still be in his corner. Only the most racist, crazy and hate filled jerks, the worst of the worst, who hated this country and didn't give a damn if we imploded would even think of voting for him if they understood that it's all illusion and talk.

[Libby2]

9. Haha!!

What a dumb ass.

[AntiBank]

10. Pence should step down, he is a laughingstock atm.

[ReRe]

21. If Pence hasn't actully made...

... a public acceptance speech, with the Donald at his side, then looks to me like he could back out of it. But, maybe at this point Pence has no alternative but to stick with it, as his "options" are almost gone now?

What a three ring circus the Republican Party has become, the whole lot of them.

[tblue37]

11. Remember when McGovern dropped Eagleton from his ticket? That did a lot of damage to

McGovern, who would have had an uphill climb anyway, but his ability to make good decisions and stick to them was called into question by that debacle, and the GOP used that to damage him a lot more.

[maxsolomon]

13. Actually, I don't remember that!

because I was a little kid.

but I remember that's the election that deceived me into thinking my parents were liberals. 1980 disabused me of that notion.

[AntiBank]

23. I was only 6 and living in London, but I do remember my father enraged at Nixon for taking the US

off the gold standard the summer before ( he did FOREX on the side), and he hated Nixon ever since (still does)

he voted for McGovern, but straight rethug up until the first Clinton term (92 election, he hated Bush Desert Storm) 96 Dole, Bush 2000, Kerry 2004, then Obama (he hated McCain and Mittens) twice

this year he is voting for Gary Johnson, as he hates both Clinton and Trumpf

he says the the only 3 presidents worth a damn he voted for in his life were Eisenhower, JFK, and sorta Obama

[bucolic_frolic]

12. It really is Cheeto and Jesus

Of the three candidates considered, I think we got the best deal

[tblue37]

14. So that logo gif is of the "T" both "screwing" and "pulling out" of the "P". nt

[progree]

22. Well Trump hasn't finished with Pence yet. It may be awhile. Bookmark and check back later

[riversedge]

15. Don't think I can stop😂😂😂😂😂😂

Don't think I can stop😂😂😂😂😂😂

[christx30]

17. That's exactly what I like to see in a president.

Someone that makes a firm decision about something very important tries to find a way to back out of it.

[Mendocino]

18. XPence?

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

19. Chris here-; ) what I got to say about it is picture perfect

DUMP TRUMP !

That's right folks ,thumbs down on Trumps Junk ! I joined up with the dump Trump gang. And I'll tell you something else ,it wasn't about the incident in France, that was his excuse, it was that tree that came down. Trump took a lot of illegal monies out of New Jersey,and when it comes down ,so will he,and it's down !

[tavernier]

20. Hey Mike, if Donald asks you to go to a ski lodge,

be suspicious! Ask Ivana and Marla how that went. And if you see Christie there in a cute pink ski jacket and pant ensemble, the news ain't good, buddy.

[Yavin4]

24. Trump changing his mind about a potential partner?

That's sooo unlike him.

[Person 2713]

25. How presidential not
