Get under his skin that his own running mate is not defending him. Im curious the kind of mood in trump world right now. You know, i have not heard that theyre upset by governor pences performance in any way or that theyre worried that he might have upstaged donald trump. There was a lot of pushback to that reporting from the campaign. But what i can tell you was that before they were deciding on who was going to be Donald Trumps running mate, there was some concern about choosing somebody who would upstage donald trump, somebody like Newt Gingrich or Chris Christie who is more of a politician, a more practiced politician, bombastic politicians who know a lot more about policy than donald trump does.
