Pence will bring GOP consolidation
Republican political consultant Karl Rove Saturday praised Donald Trump's selection of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his running mate, and said that the governor's best asset is helping in the "the consolidation of the party faithful behind the ticket."
"The vice president doesn't make a big impact upon the nationwide vote," Rove told Paul Gigot on Fox News, "but the vice president can directly help in the consolidation of the party faithful behind the ticket."
He noted that many of the polls released this week primarily showed Democrat Hillary Clinton "moving down, not Trump moving up."
Rove cited, for instance, the Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday that has Trump three points ahead of Clinton in Florida. In June, Clinton led by eight points.
"If you take all these polls and average them together … you'll see a similar pattern: In late June, Hillary Clinton peaked and began to move down."
