The Trump VP Selection Show

Published



Three stories Wednesday morning out of Trump World on the vice presidential front. The first is CNN reporting that the Trump children want Mike Pence while Big Orange is leaning toward Christie. The second is the New York Times with a quote from Trump where he says that he has five finalists, two of whom nobody knows about. And the third is an NBC report claiming that Trump is going to stage an event on Friday with his VP pick.

It’s pretty clear from all of this that Donald Trump is about to make a huge mistake: Regardless of who he taps as his running mate, it seems as though he’s going to roll out the pick in a totally conventional manner. Which, like his attacks on Judge Curiel and boosterism of Saddam Hussein, would represent a missed opportunity.
