I completely agree.
100%.
Don’t take the GOP for granted. For one entire generation they have been selling out America. Every single one of them.
Trump is the very first person, who will stand up to them.
I have read a lot of concern today that Cruz is still trying to usurp delegates. But the basic equation of “if the republicans try to steal the nomination from Trump the entire party will be permanently destroyed” is still true. They’d still be nuts to try it.
Trump’s VP pick will be Jim Webb.
Now it will be on record so I can brag about my prescience.
Newt for VP
I remember at one of his rallies he said that after what happened with Louisiana his eyes are wide open.
Smart move.
Smart move!
Besides, this will keep them talking and speculating, and covering him right up to the convention. More free publicity. Man is NOT a fool.
Not to mention his choice of VP is important and he will take is very seriously without regard to gender/ethnicity/religion/race, blah blah blah. I believe he will choose the person he thinks would best fill the POTUS role should anything happen to him.
My guess is Sessions or Newt.
Sessions or a younger man, Stephen Miller.
“Trump says he’ll name running mate at convention”
Well, that IS how it’s normally done.
Agreed!
Trump is smart delaying the VP take as long as possible, exactly what Pat Buchanan suggested in his column today
How about Sen. Tom Cotton
Every one of them esp GOPe will be schooling him until then, starting yesterday
I saw another thread mentioning Rand Paul, and get the feeling that’s who it will be. Senator Paul made some derogatory comment about Mr. Trump during the primary, but I think he could shake it off pretty easily. I don’t even remember what he said. But Senator Paul might not want the job. I don’t think he’d ever be president himself without 8 years as Trump’s apprentice though.
We know who it’s not going to be
Cruz
Fiorina
Carson
Bush
Thankfully!
Yes, focus on delegates. But if he sits down with the GOPe, and they insist he takes one of theirs as a VP to unite the party, I’d insist on Susana Martinez. I’d think she’d go along with some arm twisting.
Other names to consider:
LePage - Gov of ME
Joni Enrst - Iowa Sen.
Mike Lee - UT Sen.
Ron Johnson WI Sen.
Mary Fallin - Gov of OK.
just a few off the top of my head.
That takes the air our of this media discussion and he can focus on getting the delegates.
Absolutely. He must secure the noimination first.
Think back people, nobody ever demanded a candidate that had not secured the nomination to select a VP candidate.
Cruz made an ass of himself picking Carly when he couldn’t even win the vote of voters. He did it for a reason.
Ask yourself why he did that and think outside the box.
