Trump got PLAYED!!!! . . . Now having to swallow Pence.

Let's watch and see if we can see his anger over having been pushed into choosing Pence for VP.

I know he hated choosing under the pressure of a deadline (Pence's deadline for announcement concerning his running for IN governor).

I'll bet he felt played, and in his book there is probably no more of a pathetic word.

They had to examine her sh*t for a couple days to make sure it came out.
There's an analogy in there somewhere.

Says Pence was his first choice all along, and that Pence has done a spectacular job in Indiana. It's the plaintive wail of the grifter who got caught: "I was going to do X all along; no need for law enforcement or any legal unpleasantness. Now that you've noticed I didn't do X, I'll do it now (since you're watching). See? All nice and by the book."

I get the feeling that Mike Pence is horrible at debating. He seems so humorless and stiff. Even though I don't know who Hillary's VP choice will be, I'm pretty confident that it'll be a bloodbath.

8. Trump would not come out when Pence lead a second round of applause for him.

At the V.P. announcement, after introducing Pence, Trump abruptly left the stage (as though to get rid of a bitter taste in his mouth) and would not come back out when implicitly encouraged to do so by Pence who lead a second round of applause.

Angry at himself? Angry at the situations? Angry at milquetoast Pence?

Stay tuned.

I doubt he'll be able to recover from this. This is his Palin moment.

His Veep selection turned into a monumental clusterfuck.

The one thing that will be remembered will be this:



Yeah, scrub, scrub, scrub those web pages. You'll never live this down!
