Along the lines of what you said, I have been wondering if he’s dropping hints about Gen. Petraus. Maybe not VP, but Joint Chiefs of Staff, or Sec of he Army.

Great minds think alike.

I've thought of Petraeus many times (pre-dating his problems), but now he carries too much baggage (email stuff like Hillary's, extra-marital affair) and he'd be savaged by the media. Too bad his career took the wrong turn.

I actually haven't given much thought to a veep candidate, first things first and all that, but I'm going to start thinkin' on it because it's starting to pique my little white cells. Rest assured I'll ping you to my "choice" as soon as the first primary is over with.....maybe sooner.

(P.S....I don't think Trump will tap a woman as a running mate, E-12. I'm convinced the populace wants double "man-power" this time around, and I feel Trump probably picks this vibe up, also.)

Trump has consistently mentioned two generals: Ray Odierno by name and another general who was fired for talking rough.

The rough talker is General Mad Dog Mattis. I’m betting that Mattis and Trump are talking. I’m betting this is who Trump wants to build the military so strong that no one will mess with us.
