Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I will be making the announcement of my Vice Presidential pick on Friday at 11am in Manhattan. Details to follow.

What are the odds Trump lines up all four or five finalists on the stage and then announces his pick with all of them there?  Trump does know how to do one thing well - make a TV show of things.

Note that at least so far, I don't think we've gotten confirmation that Trump's veep pick will appear *with* him in NYC on Friday.  The recent trend has been towards making the announcement at a joint appearance.  But the problem with that is that the choice is much more likely to leak early, because it's hard to smuggle someone in without anyone noticing.

In 2004, Kerry announced that he was picking Edwards while Edwards was in another state, so it was possible to keep it secret a little longer (though it still leaked early, when someone leaked the fact that the campaign plane was being painted "Kerry/Edwards").  But in '08 and '12, Obama, McCain, and Romney introduced Biden, Palin, and Ryan respectively in person.  The Biden and Ryan picks leaked many hours in advance.  Palin was smuggled in to the McCain event without anyone noticing, yet the news still leaked hours early of a flight from Alaska to Arizona to Ohio (where the announcement was made), which jmfcst and other folks correctly concluded was Palin.

Didn't the Ryan pick leak a few days before Romney and Ryan appeared on stage together?

Not "a few days", no.  It leaked the night before.

Hillary should pick Bernie sanders. IF I was Hillary I'd be begging for him to come on the ticket.

This would go along ways to showing the base that I care.

These "short lists" seem to keep getting longer, then shorter, then longer again, then shorter again, then longer again...

He can put little collars with bows on them, and have them do tricks!

Except the 'base' actually voted for Hillary.

RNC Speakers list gotten by the NYTimes specifically mentions Gingrich, but not Pence. I presume it's Trump/Pence, then.

Interesting:

The Never Means Never PAC purchased trumpgingrich.gop, trumppence.gop and trumpchristie.gop, all three of which redirect to the group's #NeverTrump webpage.

that almost guarantees it's Pence.

i'd normally not bother with 'almost', but this is Trump after all.

EDIT: could possibly be Christie too I guess.

I think all the tea leaves are ruling out Gingrich.

Castro is the ultimate empty suit and Booker is actually in bed with Wall Street.

HUGE f'ing mistake to pick either of them.

Yeah, if she's going Latino Perez would be the better pick. At least he speaks Latin.
Latin?
Mexican.

I assume he speaks American too? Any Presidential candidate should be patriotic enough to speak God's language. How else could they read the Bible?

I don't know why he'd speak that. His parents are Dominican, after all.

The concept is too hard for him.

Per FULL convention speaker list released this morning, both Christie and Gingrich are scheduled to speak-- no Pence. Seems clearest sign yet he's pick.

Presumably at some point on Thursday, Trump will tell the person he's picking that they've got the job, and he'll tell the short listers who didn't make it that it isn't them.  Whether it leaks immediately after that or if we have to wait until Friday, I don't know.  I remember in 2008, the night before Palin was announced, we started getting leaks about who McCain had called to let them know they didn't get the job, until eventually it was down to just Palin and Ridge, or something like that.
