Pelosi and a couch.
No thanks.
Newts day came and went. I hope Trump is smarter than that.
Give Newt some attack dog position but be ready to have to keep him on a short chain.
Ann’s out to lunch if she thinks Scott Brown is firmly conservative on anything, including illegal immigration.
The two decent pols on it that Trump seems to be considering are Sessions and Fallin.
I agree that any of his other reported possible picks are disasters.
ALLEN WEST
I don’t think Michelle Bachmann would cave. I think she’s stronger and has more class than Palin. If he wants a woman VP, I’d pick her.
Yesssssssssss!!!!!!
My choice is Peter Gosselin Fitzgerald: former GOP US Senator for IL.

First mistake? Trump has made lots of mistakes ... but he rebounds from them gracefully. He’s teflon. Regardless of who he picks I don’t think it would hurt him and will more likely help him.
With that being said, how did she get elevated to her "go to" status whenever conservative networks want some feedback?
Duncan Hunter, Jeff Sessions. Not to be a broken record or anything.
Fitz was bad on immigration & guns.
No, but he wanted to make nice with Establishment of the time.
If Newt is picked VP, I doubt he will be running for President in 4 to 8 years later. Too long in the tooth unlike George Herbert Bush.
If all of his picks are amnesty supporters than he needs to find someone else. Rand Paul has very high ratings from numbersusa on this issue. He would not stick his foot in his mouth like Newt and has a very personable persona.

Kiss the youth vote (the under 50s) goodbye.
Michelle Bachmann ran a TERRIBLE campaign. That’s not a good idea.
Yes, as I recall only old people flocked to Sanders’ rallies. The youth avoided him like the plague.
Look at Greg Abbott.
I believe Rand Paul is the best pick. He has the constitutional street cred of Ted Cruz without much of the baggage. He’s establishment enough to have Mitch McConnell owe him a huge favor, yet he’s still considered by many to be non-establishment. He’s anti-amnesty, pro-gun, pro-life, and well spoken. He isn’t perfect, but his pluses outweigh his minuses.
I can’t think of a better pick, honestly. The only issue is that he’s in a race for his senate seat. It depends on what that looks like. If it’s a slam-dunk, then it’s all good. Otherwise, that could be a problem.
With respect to Gingrich as Trump's VP, here are two words that are a deal-breaker: "Helen" and "Krieble." She gave a talk here in town a few years ago. It was to a tea party group; but from her talk it sounded like she thought she was speaking to a room full of employers who wanted to replace there American employees with slaves from Mexico. And it's about more than just horse crap shovellers—this is for all occupations. There's still steam coming out of my ears from that event.
Sessions pls
