Did Trump tell Pence he was his pick so that he would remove his name from the ballot?

Then after the deadline announce someone else as his running mate?

1. Why would he do that - what would be in it for him?

Trump doesn't do anything unless it benefits him. There's no reason for him to punk Pence.

[FSogol]

13. Like you, I thought this was nonsense, until a little voice in my head said, Pence endorsed Ted Cruz

in the primaries.....

[Ken Burch]

14. A very half-hearted endorsement, during which Pence said he had nothing againt Trump.

Doesn't sound like something Trump would try to screw Pence out of his existing job over.

[MADem]

2. That would probably be cause for the RNC to toss him off the ballot. nt

[MFM008]

3. We don't know he

Promised it to Pence. You can't guess
what's in the mind of a syphilitic psycopath.
This is a game.
It won't even be Pence.
Rump could care less about the French.

IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT HIM.

6. I agree...

Trump only cares how a terrorist attack affects his poll numbers, and that's it. The man isn't capable of empathy.

[Doctor Jack]

4. I see absolutely no benefit to such a move

Not unless he has a score to settle with Pence

[DemonGoddess]

12. Given what happened in Indiana's primary

where Pence absolutely refused to do anything with/for Trump, and instead endorsed Cruz? Could be a revenge thing.

5. If he does that...

I will pop some popcorn, sit back, and watch the fireworks. I guarantee the convention will be beyond crazy if this happens.

[Ken Burch]

15. You might see the anti-Trump people put Pence in nomination against him, as payback. n/t.

7. Highly unlikely

8. What????

[SaschaHM]

9. I've been wondering about this myself...

I'd be uneasy if I was Pence since the announcement is being moved back given how much Trump changes his mind.

For those that don't know, the deadline for Pence to remove himself from the ballot in the Indiana Governor's race is tomorrow at Noon.

[LiberalFighter]

10. Are you in Indiana too?

Pence has to make up his mind not knowing if Trump will still pick him. It has to be on his mind that is a possibility.

[SaschaHM]

11. No,but I've just been following this intensely. NC here.

[GeorgeGist]

16. Pence is a fool ...

right?
