Mike Barnicle on Donald Trump’s selection for Vice President

Today’s Morning Joe conversation revolved around Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s selection for Vice President, slated to be officially announced Friday although Trump’s campaign by Thursday afternoon indicated his selection would be Indiana Governor Pence. Said veteran columnist and Morning Joe panelist Mike Barnicle: “It will come down to, can the person who is selected succeed Donald Trump if anything were to happen? If Trump agitates Congress to the point where they decide to impeach him, can the vice president succeed the president?” While the media focuses on Trump’s choice, Barnicle points out that, “The Democratic selection for Vice President, though, is kind of even more interesting because of the presence of former President Bill Clinton in the White House.” Watch the conversation here.
