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

Perhaps I”m wrong. Is Tom Cotton the same Tom Cotton that attended that island to discuss how to stop Trump?

Are people on here aware that Tom Cotton was at that meeting on the island off the coast of Georgia to stop Trump? Well - he was. So, NO, to him and HE** NO to Mia Love.

Exactly. Tom Cotton is tainted.

He, like all the other stop Trumpers, were flown to Sea Island, Georgia a few months ago, each on a private jet, for the luxurious “What Should We Do To Stop Trump” confab.

In addition, Cotton was at Romney’s boo-hoo “We Don’t Like Trump” shin-dig in Park City, Utah several weeks ago.

I would be cautious about this guy.

Folks, I posted this morning that this is the season now for throwing out names for potential veeps. It's an old ritual going back a couple hundred years in political campaigns history.

Between now and the convention both parties, almost on a daily basis , will toss the names of veep candidates into the national publicity mill to give them sound bites, gravitas, a boost in their home districts and/or a headline or two in their local rags.

So, leave us not get excited, especially when all these second-string names are floated....they will not get the call.

In my opinion, Mr. Trump and Hitlery both knew a long time ago who their picks are going to be.

Just sit back and relax and don't knock yourself out picking this nit and that nit when names like Cotton and Love and Willy Wonka are purposely planted in the media. It's a waste of time.

Cruz delegate Mia can’t attend the GOP convention. Prior obligations. Or something.
Like the other useless, RINO, Clinton supporters.

Yup, and people around here can’t think past tomorrow, much less eight years from now.

Most practical choice for VP should be based on electoral reality, not what me or you wish.

If electoral plurality is lost, it won’t matter if mother Theresa was on the ticket. Losers of elections become immediately powerless and irrelevant.

What I see is that Florida & Ohio are must states. If one of them is lost, Hillary will be your president. So pick whoever helps win those states. Keep in mind, VP works for the president. It matters little where they stand on issues.

I certainly hope not. This must be a diversion. Cotton is a plant? Why would Trump consider him?

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

Enough of the traditional thinking of hiring an old gray-beard as VP. This party needs some youth and vitality.

Duncan Hunter Jr. Comes to mind in this regard. Conservative entrepreneur business and Marine combat veteran who happens to be a Congressman from CA.
