I think Donald Trump will end up picking Mike Pence. Gingrich is too risky of a pick. Mike Pence is a safer choice, however choosing him would ruin Donald Trump's appeal amongst the LGBT community.

Clinton camp has asked Elizabeth Warren to deliver the prime-time address of the DNC on Monday (first day)

Probably as clear of a sign as ever that she won't be nominated as VP.

This isn't the keynote address right?

Also, Trump himself is apparently at Pence's house now as well.

2012
Tuesday: Julián Castro (Keynote) and Michelle Obama
Wednesday: Elizabeth Warren and Bill Clinton
Thursday:Joe Biden and Barack Obama

2008
Monday: Michelle Obama
Tuesday: Hillary Clinton and Mark Warner (Keynote)
Wednesday: Joe Biden and Bill Clinton
Thursday: Al Gore and Barack Obama

So I guess it's possible that Warren could be the keynote

[The Other Castro]

Ummmm

Trump VP pick is not settled, per @SaraMurray. Kids are pushing Pence, Trump's gut says Christie. Trump & Christie to talk today.

Governor campaign stops?
Katie Heinz ‏@katieheinz6  9m9 minutes ago
.@mike_pence's campaign schedule includes stops in Fort Wayne and Muncie today. @IndyThisWeek @rtv6

John Santucci ‏@JTSantucci  27m27 minutes ago
Sources tell @ABC late last night with Trump being grounded in Indy he met with Pence. No job was offered but the two had a "very good chat"

I guess this all comes together to say Trump still hasn't decided.

So does that mean it's between Christie and Pence now?

[hurricanehink]

It's Trump, so he'll announce on Friday that it will be between Christie, Gingrich, and Pence, and the convention is just going to be a giant game show for them to pick the VP. (in all seriousness, probably Gingrich IMO)

[The Other Castro]

It turns out Trump and his kids are meeting with all three VP finalists. They actually met with Christie yesterday. Gingrich is in Indiana, and Trump&co are meeting with him later today. Looks like we're back to where we started: with no clue whatsoever.

There's also rumors swirling of an announcement today.

[Pyro]

what? why?

[SteveRogers]

I swear, if this is all an elaborate fakeout to announce Ivanka ...

[SteveRogers]

Possibly Clinton camp just throwing that name out there to counter buzz about a Trump vetting generals?

[The Other Castro]

Trump stayed in Indiana due to technical problems with his plane.

Trump's advisers are split. Manafort is pushing hard for Pence and is very opposed to Gingrich (and also Christie somewhat). However, Jared Kushner prefers Gingrich partly due to Kushner's relationship with Sheldon Adelson who is pushing Gingrich. Trump's pollster Tony Fabrizio believes Flynn would be the best choice. The only question left is what Trump thinks (and recent reports say his gut says Christie).

.@SenatorSessions is now on his way to Indianapolis, per @SunlenSerfaty


Sessions seemed like for a time he favored Gingrich so maybe Sessions will push for him.

Also could be setting up for a announcement today, maybe announcing positions for others and VP Pence.

Ok, who isn't going to Indiana?!

Except....looks like everyone else has gotten an invite to speak as well:

Does trump have any planned speaking engagements today that an announcement might happen at?

He was supposed to go to California for fundraisers, but looks like that might not be happening now (or it's delayed...of maybe the fundraisers were fake all along, and it was just a cover story for a VP announcement).

[Mr. Morden]

Gingrich is the one who requested today's meeting with Trump?

I always found the west coast fundraising trip right before the RNC to be a little strange. And now "mechanical" problems with the plane that keeps him in the frontrunners state.

[SteveRogers]

How likely is it that all the scrambling is because Pence is having second thoughts about taking the plunge?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

It seems like the main person in favor of picking Gingrich is Gingrich.

All of this means that his termination at Fox probably had to do with being promised some role in the administration, not out of some confidence that he was the vp pick.

Trump to appear with colleague Bret Baier on Special Report tonight at 6 pm et. Will discuss VP, convention & tax returns

Chad Pergram ‏@ChadPergram  9m9 minutes ago
In i-view w/colleague Bret Baier, Trump says he is "at 3, potentially 4" running mates "but in my own mind I probably am thinking about 2"

[TomC]

LOL, Hillary is so weak. Now she considers a general since Big Don took a look at Generals Flynn and Mattis. She has no ideas, must copy from TRUMP.

Clinton has the pick of almost anyone. Trump has to pick the least toxic of about 5 people, and the only military pick he seems to have is a pro-choice Dem that was relieved of his post.
