Do you think DJT was making subtle hints, disguised as praise, that Pence is not what he seems and was chosen because he's a weak threat? At the LV rally Trump mentioned Pence in the same breath as 'reality television' and 'central casting', and stated that a president should intentionally have a bad VP, as a strategy. Maybe I took it the wrong way, but it seemed like something important and more than face value.
DJT, 4:02 pm Eastern:
"Speaking of vice-presidents, and speaking of vice-presidents, ok - and speaking also of reality television, because this is the greatest show of all time… But speaking of vice-presidents, and speaking of perfect vice-presidents, you know - if you become president the first thing you have to do is choose a really horrible, horrible vice-president. So if the idiots ever want to impeach you, they have to say, 'I can't impeach him - look who we have.' I have the perfect VP, I have the greatest in the world.
…But Mike Pence has been great. But tell me - is it perfect casting, the whole thing? And this isn't about casting, this is about real life …The greatest reality show of all times, times a million, and that's exactly it…"
