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.
He needs someone who will help him win. And he needs someone who could be groomed in the position to make a good follow-up president down the line.
Oh boy. Things in the closet? Really???
Jeff Sessions
just plain NO!!!!
Yeah. Kinda sad if true. Female issues. Hopefully it’s just a rumor.
Pelosi
He’s 1/2 Democrat anyway.
"Welcome to 'Celebrity Apprentice: Vice-President Edition'! Contestants, ONE of you will have the privilege of being my Vice-Presidential choice! You will get to shine my shoes, fetch my coffee, and learn the secrets of my great success! Lucky you! But the rest of you--oh, the rest of you will be exposed as the LOSERS you are! That I can tell you! So now let me introduce my contestants to my massive audience! Tonight we have the following applicants: Oprah Winfrey . . . Vince McMahon . . . Kim Kardashian . . . nice ass, Kim . . . and Jesse Ventura. . . ."
I predict Rubio.
Like what? If there are specific allegations on Allen West, cough ‘em up! Would like to know.
Here’s a crazy one to chew on:
Preet Bahrahra.
Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho
Rubio’s too lazy and he wouldn’t risk NBC outsiders coming up.
Walter! It will be like Joe Biden never left.
Sarah Palin...it will be Trump/Palin. Donaldus Maximus and Sarah America!
Better still--I'll kiss Megyn, and Donald can make up with her.
I nominate Laz.
Deez Nutz.
Gee, All Sharpton. Just read a great article about big Al’s coptor ride.
I going to guess it will be someone he’s really admired,supported and had closed relationships in the past, like:
Hillary Clinton
Barrack Obama
Chuck Schumer
Mitch McConnell
Nancy Polosi
It probably will be Rubio, which is why Donald hasn’t attacked him much
Not that I want Rubio, but if he were the VP choice
1) It would suck a lot of Hispainics away from the Rats
2) It would deflate charges of racism
3) The GOPe wouldn’t fight as hard
