On Monday's NBC Today, turning to Donald Trump’s selection of Indiana Governor Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate, co-host Savannah Guthrie observed: “On substance, it seems to be a choice that Republicans are happy with. In terms of process and the rollout, the reports that Trump was vacillating until the end, and then the kind of bizarre speech and rollout on Saturday, what do you make of it?”

Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd ranted over how badly he thought the announcement went: “It’s just – we're going to say this a lot – missed opportunity....how did they blow this? This is not a hard thing to blow, and they’ve totally blown it. I'm still just stunned that...they’ve yet to campaign together. This is crazy.”
