Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence were joined by Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, a supporter of Mr. Trump and a former head of the Republican Governors Association, according to an aide to Mr. Trump...

Gawd....I hope not. Pence is our own little Rubio. A common core weasel.

That’s Apple and oranges and you know it. What happened in Colorado was absolute fraud and deceit buy party insiders.

See # 22. He’s caved on every controversial issue. He wets his pants thinking about having to go up against the gay mafia. And it goes on, etc.

Oh no, didn’t mean that they would be tacky or anything. Cruz just got to the Governor first for campaign help and I am sure donnie is trying to convince him otherwise. You know, renegotiate the deal?

Until Donnie Kardashian gets to 1237 he isn’t winning squat. Is he likely to get there? Probably. But unlike you, I don’t leave the races when there’s still 5 laps to go no matter who’s in the lead.

If everyone felt that way we'd still have 17 candidates and a cluster for the nomination.

Fortunately, most get out when they see they can't win.

There’s two people into people only who will be chosen for vice president, and that is either somebody from Florida or somebody from Ohio

Thanks for that reminder - I do recall that incident.

Initially, Pence stood strong then caved a few days later.

Well, he’s off my VP list along with Cruzifer and Kasick.

two years ago pence was on my short list. maybe #3 after walker. i was thinking he might be someone who could represent conservatives. that was before he folded like a cheap suit on religious freedom.

Pence held great promise.

Then he bent over for Big Business and spat upon the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom.

That was the week I cancelled my Angie’s List membership.

The race is over, the numbers don't lie.

When you need 101% left of the delegates to win, you have lost.

IN is a winner-take-all semi open primary.

Unaffiliated can vote in any primary they wish, but democrats cannot vote in a republican primary and visa versa.

Historically very conservative, but bursting at the seams with anti "free trade" anger.

Trump has a good shot here.

I agree. Looks like Trump is changing his strategy. IMHO he is getting better advice. GO TRUMP GO

Fortunately, most get out when they see they can't win.

Most of those who dropped out with dignity when they realized that they had no chance to win also love America more than their own ego and ambition unlike Cruz and Kasich.

Bears repeating. Cruz and Kasich are tearing the party apart in an attempt to destroy not build. They're hurting our chances in November.

Pence is a good man.

When he took his stand against the gaystapo, all of the "religious" and "christian" leaders ran away from him.

I'm really pleasantly surprised about *some* governors and "christian" leaders in other unnamed states.

At least they have the stones to support their governors.

Agreed. Kasich has won ONE primary. His home state of Ohio.

That's great, but does he really think he has any kind of shot against Hillary?

Kasich needs to play nice with Trump. He might just get on the ticket as VP.
