I came here to post pretty much this. I thought maybe he's getting into the breakfast arena.

Or we could be more realistic and understand that his announcement won't get optimal coverage when there's a crisis dominating the news.

You're a special American, OP.

Oh come on, this is just an excuse. First of all, Friday has to be the worst possible day to make a major announcement. The only reason you would announce your VP pick on a Friday is because you don't have your shit together. Which he doesn't and which is why he basically had to do a very anticlimactic tweet.

Lol

Too bad the Trump Steaks are no longer available to be served with the Trump Waffles. Middle America would have eaten that up!

You're picking a fight when there really doesn't need to be one.

This is as foolish as debating whether George W. was disrespectful for swaying to the BHOTR at a memorial service.

Let it go.

Not to side track the thread, but I'm a liberal who didn't like Bush as a president. As a person, however, I think he really does have a good heart and the swaying thing was just him trying to show warmth in a really traeic situation. I think he really does hope both sides can come together in a respectful, empathetic way.

Also a liberal, and also impressed by Bush at the memorial, especially by the comment that we should stop judging the other side by their worst examples while judging our side by our best intentions. However, while Bush was trying to bring us together, Trump was spreading tales of people wanting a moment of silence for the Dallas cop-killer (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-claims-people-called-moment-silence-dallas/story?id=40549389). Aside from the fact that this appears to be another of his made up claims about "some people", he was doing exactly the judging by worst examples that Bush warned against, and trying his damnedest to rip us apart just as responsible people were searching for ways to bring us together.

I don't judge all Republicans by Trump, but it's too bad that their worst example is the presumptive nominee. In partial defense of Trump against that worst example charge, Gingrich, on Hannity's show, did a pretty good job of throwing away 1st Amendment religious freedom by advocating a test for all people of Muslim background, with deportation if they fail his test (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNtGGFJOmYs).
