Karl Rove: Mitch Daniels Would Be Great VP
Newsmax ^ | 11/25/15 | Bill Hoffmann

Posted on 11/28/2015 8:42:12 AM PST by jimbo123

Influential GOP consultant and policy adviser Karl Rove says former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels would be the perfect running mate for whoever wins the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

And at the very least, Rove adds in an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV, the GOP's vice presidential pick should be a Midwesterner to maximize the Republican ticket's drawing power.

"It would be good to have somebody from the Midwest. I've got an out-of-the-box idea for you, how about the former governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels," Rove said Wednesday on "Newsmax Prime" with J.D. Hayworth.

"[He's] done an exemplary job serving in the Reagan administration, serving in the Bush administration, serving as an eight-year very successful governor of a Midwestern state.

"And is now taking a strong role in reforming our education as the president of Purdue University. Anybody would be well-advised to look at him as a VP running mate."

Is Daniels a GOPe?

Mitch Daniels was a good Governor. Then he put aside his Presidential aspirations to help Mitt Romney.

Indiana seems more like a rust belt state than a mid-west state.

Looks like Rove is looking for a job.

Yea, he still may get it, as long as he doesn’t take it to the personal level like Scott Walker did when he left the race.

I already suspect that Mitch Daniels wasn’t to be trusted.

Having Karl Rove recommend him just confirms it.

I nominate Rove for the next Ghostbuster movie’s “Staypuff Marshmellow Man”.

And as Cheech and Chong would say, “Up in Smoke”.

Trump would never accept vice-president. Numero uno or nothing.

I think the same is true of Cruz as well.

He’s a milquetoast, his state only votes D during D landslides, and his whore wife would be a distraction.

I believe without checking it out that Daniels started out on the Dan Quayle staff. How Quayle has been forgotten! Even his son couldn’t hold a House seat but one term.
