CLEVELAND, Ohio-The Republican National Convention kicks off tonight, but Indiana Republicans are waiting for Wednesday.
They say Mr Pence has actually “abandoned” Hoosiers, despite what Mr Trump said on Saturday (July 16) when he officially announced his pick. Gingrich is a boisterous rabble-rouser who has spent decades in Washington, including as House speaker. Christie, 53, was initially an ever-present pre-running mate, appearing at Trump’s side during speeches, nodding in agreement.
Spehler asked Pence about his thoughts on Trump’s controversial campaign, asking Pence if he stands by some of Trump’s more controversial statements and how their dynamic will play out on the campaign trail.
The vote, Trump said, was a long time ago and “they were also misled”. “Having Governor Mike Pence has really, people that I wasn’t necessarily liking or getting along are loving this pick, because they have such respect for him, and the party unity is okay”. “You find out sooner or later who the last one standing is”.
Trump used the example of how he calls Hillary Clinton “Crooked Hillary” as something that he doesn’t expect or want his right-hand man to do.
The Trump campaign is fighting back against an attempt to force a state-by-state roll call to approve the rules of the convention. But in an effort to show their chemistry, the conversation quickly took a different tone.
Trump says he and Pence are the “the law and order candidates”, adding that his potential administration would be far tougher on both foreign and domestic terrorism than would Clinton.
Late Sunday night, Christie said he was “disappointed” the presumptive GOP nominee didn’t choose him as his running mate. He said, ‘Mary Pat, I like Chris, but I’m scared of you.’ He said, ‘How much does the check need to be? I can tell you, these delegates aren’t insane about TPP.
Hannity also asked Pence about his prior support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a massive 12-nation Asian trade agreement that Trump has regularly railed against.
That’s along with friends, employees and others who’ve worked with Trump over the years who can talk about his business skills, his personal life and his ability to solve problems.

Trump’s team has been building hype for the decision, including in a text message to supporters that urged recipients to sign up to receive an early notification of the choice. “I can tell you a lot of the base in our party isn’t insane about TPP”, he said.
