Donald Trump will showcase his vice presidential pick at a public event on Friday, multiple sources tell NBC News.
Trump's possible picks are thought to be narrowed to three candidates: Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
While the joint appearance is expected on Friday, it's not clear whether or not the identity of the pick could be released or could leak earlier in the week.
Trump is scheduled to attend a fundraiser and rally in Indiana Tuesday night with Pence; he campaigned with Christie on Monday and with Newt Gingrich last week.
He told the New York Times earlier Tuesday that he intended to make a decision "over the next three- to four-day period of time," adding that his "gut" would be an important factor in making the decision.

ok. She would be a bad choice anyway, but I could’ve seen him doing something like that, depending on how much those insiderDC people can actually be trusted. After JFK and Reagan, he should choose very carefully.
I’m hoping he picks Newt for chief of staff and Christie for AG, and I don’t know enough abt Pence to form an opinion. Thanks for that info you gave somewhere up the thread about him.
Pence VP, Newt Chief of Staff, Christie AG
Rudy Giuliani at Homeland Security would be awesome.
Flynn has an event in Cleveland on Friday. I’ll let you know if he cancels it.
If he truly goes with anti-establishment and experienced with Congress, he’ll choose Cruz.
I agree, but we could have had a pure conservative constitutionalist in Cruz, yet to read all the freepers on Cruz you would think he is the devil incarnate.
So we could end up with another gas bag who fails to live up to what they all claimed him to be.
I do agree that Trump is more preferable than Hillary, or any Democrat, but time is short and today is the time we need a true conservative not a moderate who will rubber stamp everything the moderate Republicans give him.
So far Trump is going against everything he claimed to be, time will tell if he walks the walk when he wins.
Oh, and yes he will win. Any Republican would win, that is my problem with going with a moderate instead of a true conservative.
Finally! All the speculation and arguing needs to stop.

It’s my guess that since most people on Free Republic are conservatives, they would love a conservative candidate. They have one. They listened to the candidates, evaluated what they said, voting records for those who had them, and made their decision as to who was the best match for them.
I believe Mr. Trump is the true conservative, and Cruz was/is not. Having been brought up in a born-again Christian conservative home, my dad was my hero. I learned SO much from him about God, the Constitution, and Liberty.
When I first became aware of Cruz, his words sounded good. But, there was something off about him, although at the time, I couldn’t name it. As time went on, as I read more about him, heard him speak, and observed his actions and reactions, it became clear to me (and others) that he was not the conservative of which he spoke. I suspected he was not genuine, and looked to other candidates to see who would be the best choice.
IMO, his subsequent words and actions confirmed my initial reaction. I’m not coming at you to argue, that is not my intention, OneVike, but yes, I do believe he is an agent of Satan. His demeanor, words, and actions 100% confirm it to me.
We can debate endlessly over Cruz’s conservative credentials, but that has been done again and again by others here, and they no doubt would do a better job of it than me.
I don’t have TV, I don’t listen to the radio, and thus, I am not subject to a lot of the Satanic lies and deceit with which the media brainwashes so many sheeple. Their unrelenting, visceral hatred of Mr. Trump confirms he is the one they fear the most. That alone tells me he is the right candidate, not a Globalist like Romney, McCain, Bush, and yes, Cruz.
Having spent many hours researching Mr. Trump, his history (what is available online) over the span of decades, I realized Mr. Trump has played “nice” with politicians to grow his successful business. This does not bother me, because his core words and beliefs, expressed decades ago, matched what he says today....(at least in the videos I watched of him from many years ago). He appears to me to truly love his country and countrymen, and is courageously and selflessly offering himself up as a target to the Globalists, in order to restore this country. Although God uses Christians and non-Christians for His purpose, I think DJT is a genuine Christian.
Looking backward, bemoaning what could have been may well be injurious to the country and to us as individuals, especially since we know that God is in control, no matter what, OneVike. It is His Will that Donald Trump prevailed.
I remember another Christian’s helpful words to me years ago when they told me: “Let’s put all our concerns into a virtual “basket” and slide it up to the foot of the Cross, and say, “Lord, You know best. Your Will, not Mine.”
Your wrong, Trump is a moderate capitalist at best.
But I’ll vote Trump since he is the nominee.
I will not get into anything more, because your understanding of conservatism is not mine.
I am a Christian, and I teach the Word. I would debate anyone and leave them knowing that I know what I know.
I am also probably farther to the right than 99.9% of everyone on this forum, and Cruz is a true Christian conservative.
Good day.
Gingrich or Christie, NO WAY Pence.
Lyn’ Ted is not the devil incarnate. No, he is just a lying natural born Canadian. Sad and pathetic example of a Canadian. Love Canadians, but Cruz, no way, never.
Bring it on Buddy.
You could never convince me that a true Christian would take an oath or sign a pledge and then refuse to honor the pledge he signed.
Never.
“I wanna see Sarah-cuda walk on stage ...”
That would be a sight to behold! The MSM had to change their undies within 30 seconds after she marched on stage and began to speak in ‘08. I’d love to see her sashay to the podium at the RNC Convention one more time.
Fiorina? Not just “No!”, but HELL no!”
I think Michelle Bachman might be involved in 7 Mountain Dominionism, or a sub-group. When researching Cruz’ involvement it seemed that her name showed up, as well as Perry’s. Don’t know for sure, but FWIW...
Mitt crushed Newt after Newt won South Carolina
Fox News and Drudge who was buds with mitts gay communications guy plus Kitts 30-50 million ad buy killed Newt in Florida
And newts surge was dead
A three way hit to take him out especially with Santorum staying in on a broken promise
That’s how Mitt beat Newt
Might have been completely diferent story had drudge and Ailes not gone all Hearst
“Cruz is a true Christian conservative”
LOL!
“Mitt crushed Newt after Newt won South Carolina. Fox News and Drudge who was buds with mitts gay communications guy plus Kitts 30-50 million ad buy killed Newt in Florida.”
Yes, I remember it well. I guess my point was, avalanche of campaign ads aside, Newt should have trounced Mitt on message, personality, and intellect, alone.
Trump trounced 16 opponents while facing into a headwind of hundreds of millions of dollars in negative ads. He wound up winning more votes than any Republican presidential candidate in history, and did it on time and under budget.
Not trying to knock Newt, but if he’d fought like Trump did, he might have won that primary.
