LITTLE ROCK,Ark.--Donald Trump said today he is possibly considering Senator Tom Cotton for a running mate or a top position in his administration.

In an interview today with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, the host suggested Trump pick either Senator Cotton or New Jersey Governor Chris Christie as his running mate.

Trump said he can't reveal his thinking in considering his VEEP pick, but had positive things to say about Arkansas' junior senator.

"I've gotten very good, you know, very good statements from Senator Cotton, who is a, you know, who I know, whose parents I know and met," Trump said. "I think that he is a very talented guy. He's also very popular. He's a very popular person. So these are two names that I have high on the list for something at least, that I can tell you."

Hewitt cited Cotton's military experience as an asset to Trump's campaign

A good, solid choice if he is, in fact, the chosen one

He was THE ONLY SENATOR TO NOT VOTE “YES” FOR THE CORKER AMENDMENT. CRUZ DID!

Just give me Mia Love. The pissed off expression on Michelle Obama’s face alone would be worth it.

Donald Trump’s VP will be a first-string consistent Constitutionalist, and someone who has worked with Trump on the campaign long enough for their true metal to shine forth. As far as I can see, Senator Jeff Sessions is the only one who meets this mark.

“In an interview today with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt”

I don’t know why these writers insist on inserting an element of comedy in their stories. That statement is completely laughable.

The only thing that dissuades me from agreeing about sessions is that Trump would want someone doing enough to continue 8 more years of his administration.

Trump has pretty much said nice things about every one he’s been asked about being the VP. The only time he’s said no about someone is when they’ve publicly said they wouldn’t want the slot, and Trump then announces they weren’t in the running anyway!

Obviously he’s playing it close to the vest. I suspect it’ll be someone that has not been named, at least not by the MSM.

I used to think there were a half dozen or so Constitutional Conservative US Senators. There aren’t. A strong guiding hand will be needed to clean out that sewer. That would be Sessions.

That is conventional political thinking. When was the last time you noted Donald J. Trump using conventional political thinking? Donald Trump realizes that if he doesn’t get the country back to being a Constitutional Republic in eight years, it isn’t going to happen.

Besides, the Great Sign in the Heavens described in Revelation 12:1-2 will actually, literally occur on September 23-24, 2017. Once we are fully into the prophecies contained in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, all conventional, man-centered thinking is moot.

No, Donald, nooooo!
Don’t pick Cotton!
Slaves picked Cotton.
And Cotton is white.
That would be racist!

Mia’s first vote was to save Boner then went downhill from there.

I like Cotton because:

1. As far as I know, he is a reliable and true conservative.

2. His military record.

3. He’s young and we can possibly have 16 years of Trumpism.

I agree with others on Sessions. But, he is too old.

Frankly there are more urgent issues than constitutional conservatism. Such as 11-30-40 million illegals running around unchecked, No wall or borders, 94 million adults without jobs, Obamacare, ZIRP going on for 6 years with no economic growth in sight, middle-east in complete chaos, ISIS spreading in many places, EPA regulations, Syrian refugees flooding in, infra-structure crumbling, on and on.
