Trump did not pick Pence !!!
He was assigned to him by the RNC. He had to agree to accepting Pence as VP + Priebus as his Chief of Staff. It was the terms that he had to accept, in exchange for the RNC to not undermine him at the Convention. They were threatening him with the delegate situation in regards to Cruz, who was THEIR GUY. They had divised a plan where they would have his delegates vote against him in the first round of ballots. Then it would have went to a 2nd Round where the crooked rules would open up the voting for delegates to vote for whomever they wanted to. They would then tow the party line and vote Cruz, as instructed !! VERY similar to Reagan HAVING to accept Bush as his VP !! BTW, Reagan HATED Bush !!!
