Maybe he's listening to me after all. An announcement that was supposed to happen at 11 a.m., but was supposedly postponed because of the Nice attack, has now happened officially. The press conference won't be until tomorrow, so we can hear more then about Trump's rationale and Pence's thoughts on how he wants to help but as a running mate and as vice president.
I like this pick, with all due respect to the boss's preference for Newt (who I also like, although for different reasons). One of my frustrations with this election cycle was that there were so many Republican governors who had excellent governing records and could show through the results they've gotten in their states that conservative policies work when they're implemented effectively. Primary voters showed almost no interested in any of these guys, which I felt denied the GOP the opportunity to go up against Hillary with someone who could offer a real record of achievement compared to her total lack thereof.
