The Trump campaign, blindsided by rival Ted Cruz's sudden exit from the race, is now beginning internal deliberations about potential vice presidential candidates, two Trump campaign sources tell CNN.

Sessions certainly fits what Trump has said about a political/get legislation through type.

Sessions, but I would hope Trump would let him do more than attend state funerals and bridge dedications. I would see him as having an expanded role in foreign policy and national security issues.

blindsided by rival Ted Cruz’s sudden exit from the race


Blindsided by victory?

Blindsided by winning?

Blindsided by success?

Is that like being blindsided by hitting a powerball jackpot?

Or how about this: the media is blindsided by their own stupidity.

Palin has been with Trump from the start and has a former staff member working on Trump campaign, same as Sessions. Palin will be making appearnaces for Trump next few weeks and how she is received will help ascertain her ranking for VP job instead of Cabinet position.

Didn’t Nikki Haley trash Trump in the response to the SOTU this year?

I could handle those but will have to find out more about Portman.

I'm so fed up with Newt being a constant guest on Hannity. Maybe he is slipping and can't get anybody else. I suppose he is intelligent and knows well the ways of Washington, but I can't stand him.

Trump/Love 2016

I’m with you. Would happily contribute to, campaign and vote for Sessions. Palin belongs in Trump’s cabinet. Only voted for McCain because of her and would vote for her again as VP but, all things considered, think there are places where she can be more effective this time around.

#1: Don’t know about her but I’m willing to be educated. #2: Didn’t she bow down to the flag issue? #3: Hell no, I’m from Ohio and this guy thinks homosexual “marriage” is okay now since his son came out.

Ummm... Eastwood would be 80 plus at the end of Trump's 1st term.

Who dreams up these stupid possibilities?
