Political Pundits Just Decimated One of the Most Important Events of the Trump Presidential Campaign: ‘The Most Half-Assed Big-Time Political Event I’ve Ever Seen’
Donald Trump in Manhattan just concluded his speech introducing Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate, and by all accounts it was a complete disaster. Trump, true to form, made his speech introducing the Indiana governor all about Donald Trump, and even admitted at one point he chose Pence was because of his good looks. Trump’s speech lasted nearly a full half-hour, and he barely mentioned Pence at all, and not before he was halfway through. At the end, rather than stand by his VP pick, he walked off the stage, leaving Pence to deliver his speech all alone.
On Twitter, political pundits, journalists, and average voters ripped it apart. Take a look:
