The rumors are flying that Donald Trump has picked his running mate and the internet is having a field day.

Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, may (as in, this is not confirmed) pick Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his vice presidential running mate at some point on Thursday or Friday, with the official announcement scheduled for 11 a.m. ET in New York City.

Pence stepped onto the national stage last year when he signed a bill into law that opened the door to Indiana businesses potentially discriminating against LGBT customers.

The Internet pounced on rumors that Pence was Trump's choice, pointing out that Pence and Trump disagree on... quite a lot.

Also, a lot of people think Pence is just... kind of the best of bad options. Or maybe just bad.

Even ginormous Trump superfan Ann Coulter thinks Pence is a terrible fit.

But hey, everything Trump has done this election has been dubbed stupid or controversial or some such by a number of folks, and he's still here, right?
