Trump needs a USAG that will stop low-information, pro-LGBT state officials from promoting policies which ignore 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and speech which the states prohibited themselves from doing when they ratified Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
In fact, since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect LGBT agenda issues like gay “marriage,” Trump's USAG will also need to put a stop to the so-called right to gay “marriage,” this “right” wrongly legislated from the bench by state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices, and enforce 10th Amendment-protected state power to prohibit constitutionally unprotected gay “marriage.”
By establishing official policies which protect constitutionally unprotected LGBT “rights,” both the feds and the states are arguably violating the following constitutional clauses which the states made to prohibit both themselves and the feds from establishing protected / privileged classes.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States [emphasis added]: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility [emphasis added].
Trump should put Buchanan in charge of the INS.
Ernst, Haley, Martinez all were Rubio supporters, and Trump doesn’t need or want open border pro amnesty people it would turn off his own base.
Rubio has same problem, and Trump doesn’t need him to do well in Florida, Trump won FL. by 20%.
Kasich, passed NAFTA and didn’t beat Trump by much in Ohio, so Trump don’t need him.
Pence endorsement was for loser Cruz, Bobby Knight endorsed Trump.
Newt, presided over House for first time in generations.
Running against the Clitons Newt is squeeky clean.
Newt was competent and accomplished more in the first 6 months than Obama has in 7 years.
Yeah. Where’s “none of the above”?
So, that argues first and foremost for a Governor.
The other key hate on Trump messages are "he's racist" and "he is anti-woman".
Thus your ideal running mate would defuse all these issues, or at least one or two.
So I think first consideration will be given to the three sitting GOP Governors. NIkki Haley, Susan Martinez and Mary Fallin (of Oklahoma).
I believe Martinez does not like Trump, though she would be good by being Latino. (She seems to speak Spanish easily, as one would expect in New Mexico).
Haley is the best known. She gets 1/2 credit for being Asian Indian, but has some controversy around her, and also may not be a Trump fan.
That leaves Mary Fallin. She said just today she is excited by the Trump candidacy and is honored that she has been mentioned as a possible running mate.
She needs to be vetted, but on first blush I would put her at the top of the list.
The Hannity poll is full of has-beens and wanna-bes. Top group are has-beens and I don't see Trump going backwards to them. Second group is at least fresh ,but none (except maybe Scott) are really compelling.
Sean Hannity is just the fountain of conventional wisdom, isn't ne.
PS: I predicted Palin for McCain using the same process long before almost anyone else mentioned her in 2008, so either I was good or lucky. I guess we'll know in two months.
Mia Love... first endorsed Rubio, then Cruz. In an article today... Utah Republican leaders lining up — reluctantly — behind Trump “mia loves campaign manager said she hasn’t decided.”
Pat is old beyond his years and was
Martinez - Problem back in Dec/Jan with alcohol laden party in hotel where 911 was called and she called to stop the PD from responding. No.
I could live with NEWT I could NOT live with Kasich!!!!
Gov Rick Scott - Florida.
Jeff Sessions
Of those choices the one that would help him the most is Rubio. Kasich would be next, then Cruz. But unless Trump can show he’d beat Hillary I don’t think any of those guys would take it.
I REALLY like Walker however he is horrible on the campaign trail VERY little charisma!!!!
Kasich as Trump VP would be even less consequential than SlowJoe was for Baraq.
So if he brings Ohio along, I’d say go for it.
Mary Fallin?
See http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3427463/posts
Sadly, many Oklahomans don’t seem to like her.
Mia Love
I also LOVE that Sherrif from Wisconsin but no political background!!!
Walker = anti Union.
Trump needs the unions in the North East.
Strangely, I can make the same case about Trump...
Actually, on second thought, Newt would be a much better chief of staff
