Donald J. Trump’s campaign has signaled strongly to Republicans in Washington that he will pick Mike Pence, the governor of Indiana, as his running mate, though Republicans caution the party’s mercurial presidential candidate may still backtrack on his apparent choice.
Mr. Trump’s advisers have told national Republican officials that they are preparing to make an announcement with Mr. Pence, according to three people with knowledge of the conversations, who were not authorized to discuss them publicly. His campaign has said that it will unveil a running mate for Mr. Trump in New York on Friday.

A Trump/ Pence ticket is like a chicken in the presence of a wolf facing the Rainbow Jihad. Both would do nothing to stem the tide.

Based on my reporting, Don Jr. favors Newt. Jared leans twd Newt but open to Pence. Ivanka's view unclear. Manafort for Pence.

Here in Cleveland several people tell me the Pence name was thrown out to see the reaction at CNP, which is meeting before the convention.

Last I heard, Trump was picking a Democrat as his running mate.
If I were Pence or whoever Trump announces as his running mate, I’d ask for the commitment in writing. Trump could change his mind several times. Not that Trump would necessarily honor a written, signed document.
