Trump Makes First Big Mistake

A

Ann Coulter predicted that the VP selection could mark Trump's first big mistake. Looks like she was right. The rumored pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, pushed a Paul Ryan-type amnesty plan as a congressman. More recently he is known for folding like a cheap lawn chair after Indiana passed a law protecting Christians (and muslims) from having to participate in gay weddings. Pence managed to alienate both sides of the debate, no mean feat for someone so wishy washy.

While Trump had a smaller field than normal to choose from, since so many establishment pols opposed him, he could have easily picked someone better, a lot better. Chris Christie would at least have had his back, is great with the media and would not be embarrassed in the VP debate like Paul Ryan was.

Pence comes from a state that Trump will easily carry, no matter who his VP is. He could carry Indiana if he had picked Mike Tyson. Or Mike Ditka.

A governor like Pat McGrory of NC at least would have helped in a crucial swing state. In addition, he showed backbone in standing up to the gay mafia. No doubt the consultants "helping" Trump now considered him too controversial.

At least he didn't make an even bigger mistake and pick Gingrich, despite Sean Hannity's frantic cheerleading. If he had, the only women's votes he could really count on would have been Ivanka and Melania, and I'm not even sure Melania can vote here.

It was a small amount if I remember correctly. Like a million or so? No easy task to take that to 10 Billion!

He was loaned a million, he inherited the rest. Put in an index fund then he would have more money today, lol. Real genius.
 
I concur. Big mistake in my opinion.

The press has seen him fold in the homo debate and now they're going to do just like Coulter said. It'll be nonstop hammering him about 'Trump said this or that, do you really agree with that?' And there is a very real possibility he'll cave sometime before the election and say, 'regretfully, i just can't stand behind Trump on such and such.' A very real possibility.

Gingrich can't be trusted two inches. It would be impossible for him to stay on message and not veer off into no man's land and start spouting off on something that is his own idea and has nothing to do with trump's message. Totally impossible.

I would have never in a million years voted in a primary for Christie after what he pulled in the 12 election, but I think he can be trusted to be a loyal attack dog in the run up to the election. And that's what Trump should have on his side.

The entire vp debate is going to be questions to Pence about how in the world he can stand with Trump on whatever. Because they know he is weak, weak, weak, and he just might implode.

It's about time someone addressed the pressing need we've had to protect ourselves from being forced to participate in gay weddings. Indiana residents, at least, can rest easy knowing that at long last they can stop worrying about forced, gay wedding participation. But what about the rest of us. Where's our protection? :D
