Let's just hypothesize a bit and say that TRUMP has it all locked up. Who should he pick for his running mate?
Keep in mind that he has already BURNED a LOT of potential bridges, even given the explosive nature of the primary system as it exists. Some stuff can be overlooked, not really meant, or said in the heat of a tense moment during say a debate. But the personal nature of Trumps attacks often leads to extended acrimony and lasting anger, not easily smoothed over. Especially since some things said, even if forgiven by the target could and would be used by the opposition to paint the ticket as being insincere and could damage the odds of victory in the general election.
Additionally, what should the criteria be for his selection? If he chooses an experienced political operative, might his "outsider" status be put into jeopardy? If he chooses someone from outside of politics does that weaken the ability to "govern?" These are tricky issues that must be navigated with all the care of getting through a minefield, because that is exactly what it is... a political minefield on which the future of the nation rests.
That's a good choice, too.
Trump needs someone who is his equal in terms of traditional moral values and knowledge of the Constitution. I’m thinking Charlie Sheen.
David Horowitz
He is also for in state tuition for illegals
TDS sufferers seek only to pollute Trump threads, not to engage in useful dialog.
I always wanted Bobby Jindal in there.
Thats just my opinion and its not very popular here. I just like the guy personally.
The most practical choice is John Kasich. Trump really needs someone who knows the ways of Washington and it sure wouldn’t hurt to have someone who also has government executive experience. Oh hi O.
The OP said Trump’s running mate not Cruz’s running mate.
Rush. Despite his Cruz obsession.
Ineligible
Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of Florida.
Trump has a way with hot blondes, so this is a much better choice than Rick Scott, hirsute-wise.
Trump has donated to her campaign, and the democrats hate her, so she’s got that going for her, which is nice.
“Allen West!!”
Sounds nice but I hear he’s got some things in the closet that might not make it possible. Maybe a military type spot for him?
Deez Nuts
... or McLovin
Sessions?
At least not by any of the candidates still in the race...
Aren’t you getting tired of posting this drivel, Marco? Put on your lifted boots and go to another foam party.
Himself. Everyone else is a loser.
Donald Trump needs a female attack dog.. and who better fills this than Michelle Obama... You know how the Donald wants to work with the other side.
My guess its someone like Rick Scott, John Kasich or Rudy Guiliani.
OK....Then I will pick his sister... Maryanne Trump Barry
