In a wide-ranging speech in which he touted his own “landslide” victory in the Republican primaries, Trump cast Pence as a ideal complement for the White House: a veteran of government, a man with a Midwestern sensibility and strong Republican credentials as a job creator and budget balancer.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks at the 87th League of United Latin American Citizens National Convention at the Washington Hilton in Washington, July 14, 2016.
Presently, the poll finds Clinton leads among Latino voters 51 percent to 30 percent and 77 percent to 3 percent among blacks.
“It’s a horror show”, he added, noting that his vice presidential pick came after a long study of IN and its manufacturing sector. Pence, however, strongly backed NAFTA while serving in Congress.
Trump, in his speech, also unwittingly highlighted another policy point where the two diverged: the Iraq war.
“From what I’ve been watching on the news, Mike Pence is very well known in Washington, D.C., and he’s well-liked there”, she said, adding that Pence appeals to social conservatives and strict constitutionalists, which will benefit the campaign. “To me, it (Kaine) makes more sense than ever”.

Pence, the reality television star said, was “highly respected” and a “highly talented” executive that led the state of IN to job growth. Trump called Pence “my partner in this campaign” and his first and best choice to join him on a winning Republican presidential ticket.
“To my mom, thanks for always being there”, Pence said. You know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this?
“All right, back to Mike Pence”, Mr Trump said at one point after a long tangent talking about the Republican Party’s efforts to overturn rules that limit church leaders’ political involvement.

The latest results, however, paint a dramatically worsening picture for the GOP.
The Governor is scheduled to be in NY on Monday and Tuesday and then back in Denver on Wednesday.
