As a woman I do too. But it's what makes D.C. tick, regardless of party.
As I read that all I can think of is one man.
Gingrich.
I'm not sure Sessions would want to give up a Senate seat for the vice-presidency, especially since he'd be 70 when sworn in. He could help Trump on the Hill.
Trump doesnt need a woman as his VP ... in fact, I personally think it would be a sign of PC pandering if he chose one.
The gender of his vice-president is not going to help him or change who he is so trying to push a woman on him is counter productive.
Republicans / Conservatives engage in identity politics just as much as the Left, while decrying it
You point to abortion as justification for your statement. I'll go further. In aggregate, women support bigger, more powerful government and PC feel-good policy making. The country more and more is being driven by women, either directly or indirectly via political pandering to them. And the results are gays everywhere, no more ladies rooms, and massive increases in social program spending.
Today as I was walking through a lobby they had CNN on and the sound was down but the banner at the bottom said "GOP Women respond to Trump's comments on Hillary" and I thought 'oh brother, here we go. You can't even criticize female politicians on policy or blatant corruption without people rushing to find other women to condemn you as a sexist meanie. And they'll find plenty to do it, too.' And this is how they think they'll beat Trump. Make women think he's a meanie. They won't, says conventional wisdom, vote for a meanie. They managed to make wimpy Mitt Romney look like a big old heartless meanie so they are drooling at the chance to demonize Trump. He's in for some rough seas with this crowd.
Sigh. If Sarah Palin had just said no to McCain she would now be a retired, highly successful two-term governor. She would either be a top contender for the Presidential nomination itself or, barring that, on top of the Veep short list. But now, well, no. Won’t happen. A pity.
I don’t think Sarah wants it. She wants to be an activist. I understand that and respect it.
The women on my list who would help Trump are (in no order):
Brewer, Rice, Martinez, Blackburn, Parker, Haley, Ingraham, Hasselbeck, Cheney, Brown, Ayotte, Chao, Black
They aren’t all conservatives, in my opinion, but they would all be worth doing background analysis on in terms of WINNING in the fall.
Look at his family....Look at his daughter.
[Interested in hearing what is thought of Gov. Fallin of OK as a potential running mate?
I heard her name floated too.
A great blend of congressional and gubernatorial executive experience, paired with private sector work. Not to mention how prosperous OK is.
Only potential con is a divorce as a result of alleged infidelity on her part. Don’t know if that would play well with the electorate once the Dems exploit it.
Amen
Blackburn
Kill the babies...in the name of freedom?? Insane
Little marco?
Some of the women on my list I’d prefer to some of the men on my list.
The premise is wrong. Mr. Trump doesn’t have a problem with women, unless those women are anti-American feminazi’s.
I suspect many of these Republican ‘women’ are of the same mindset as most of the Republican ‘men’, namely, RINO’s.
At this juncture, anyone who is stupid enough to put political correctness above saving this country can stick it.
I doubt it will be Martinez. She seems content being a GOPe
“diversity” wind up toy. Why would she give up that gig?
Jan Brewer .... excellent! So would Michelle Bachman.
Me too. Because I don't identify with any politicians.
