New York Times - Today

Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana openly split with Donald J. Trump, his running mate, on Wednesday by endorsing Speaker Paul D. Ryan’s re-election bid, doing so a day after Mr. Trump said he was not ready to make such an endorsement.

 

That the two members of the Republican presidential ticket were taking different positions on whether to endorse the House speaker, a fellow Republican, showed the searing divisions tearing apart the party.

 

In an interview with The Washington Post on Tuesday, Mr. Trump said he liked Mr. Ryan and was considering endorsing him for re-election, but was not ready. “I’m just not quite there yet,” Mr. Trump said. “I’m not quite there yet.”

 

Mr. Trump’s choice of words was strikingly similar to the speaker’s language in May, when Mr. Ryan said he was “not ready” to endorse Mr. Trump for president. Some people close to Mr. Trump fault Mr. Ryan for withholding his endorsement for a few weeks before ultimately backing him.

Mr. Pence issued his endorsement of Mr. Ryan during an afternoon interview with Fox News on Wednesday, hours after he told Mr. Trump of his longtime ties to the speaker, and Mr. Trump expressed support for the move.

 

“I talked to Donald Trump this morning about my support for Paul Ryan, our longtime friendship,” Mr. Pence said. “He strongly encouraged me to endorse Paul Ryan in next Tuesday’s primary. And I’m pleased to do it. But look, this is all part of a process of bringing a party together” after a competitive nominating fight, he added.

Trump is the new breed of Republican vying for the White House. He fought against the GOP establishment and he continues to do so. He told the Bush's off on national television and keeps them at bay. Pence is his own man. Trump doesn't tell Pence how and when to jump.

Kari spending too much time worrying about Donald Trump. It proves that he and many others are freaking out that Trump will become the next president. Check and see if he soil his underwear.

None of us are worrying about Trump.  We just enjoy the daily spectacle of seeing the GOP flee Trump. More entertaining will be if Trump starts a brawl with Pence.

So lets get this straight. Trump refused to endorse Ryan but endorsed Ryan's challenger instead. Then he "strongly encouraged Pence to endorse Ryan". So how long would it be before Ryan's challenger think Trump is screwing him? More signs that Trump has lost his mind.

Pence is covering his ass. I am sure he is mortified with Trump. He does not want to go down with the ship. He is throwing out an SOS and asking to be picked up on his life raft.

Trump is off his rocker. He is definitely stuck somewhere in his head and is seeing the widening reality he will lose. He therefore wants to take down the integrity of the US electorate system with him by complaining the system is rigged.

That is causing republicans to defect en-mass. They know he is doing damage to the integrity to US institutions and image abroad. This is now beyond his personal narcissism and undermining his supporters faith in the system. It is one thing to be displeased with government but another to think the government is deliberately acting to keep you in poverty.

Black people complain about institutional racism but they have faith in the government to correct it and seek correction in it. He is telling his supporters they have no support anywhere and that is dangerous.

Trump is dangerous because of his tendency to hit back when people hit him. He doesn't stop to think before he acts.

He is dangerous because he is a narcissistic fool and listens to no one but himself. Were he amenable to advice and council he would probably be trustworthy. Otherwise he is just a lousy loud mouthed windbag.

Issues with Pencemay be highlighted soon and it would be much more laughter as they battle between themselves.
