When reporters tried to ask Pence for his reaction to the news that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has abandoned Trump, Gov. Mike Pence turned around and kept walking towards the door. Once of Pence’s staffer’s did admonish the reporters that this wasn’t a gaggle.
The Trump campaign spent weeks criticizing Hillary Clinton for not holding a press conference, as Trump’s running mate has turned fleeing from the questions of reporters into a daily event.
Trump and Pence don’t do press conferences or take questions from reporters on the road, so when is the right time for the press to ask questions?
The next time that you hear everything is fine from a member of the campaign or the ticket watch this video, and you’ll see that things are most definitely not fine between Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
