I’d like to see him pick Alan West.

Or Tancredo. Wouldn’t THAT explode Lib’s heads?! LOL

Or how about Judge Janine Pirro? She’s not only smart, fearless, Conservative but beautiful to boot!

Fantasizing is fun, but Trump’s best bet is a strongly conservative guy with credibility among conservative Republicans who has been successful in DC but has been out of office a bit (thus avoiding the odious stink of the modern Republicans), and preferably hails from a swing state.

A one term Congressman who was run out of office? I like West, too, but that won’t pay the bills.

I don’t know who this candidate could be, but if you consider SC a swing state (and I really don’t - if Trump can’t win SC on his own, it’s going to be an early night), Jim DeMint would be a fine, stabilizing, and sober choice.

He's going to go with somebody more conventionally political if he wants to have any chance of winning.

In other words, he's going to have to be more like Reagan, who picked Bush, than Goldwater who hunted for an obscure congressman whose views were the same as his own.

Or Tancredo. Wouldn’t THAT explode Lib’s heads?! LOL

Tancredo wins Trump nobody who isn't already with him and loses him voters who might be persuaded to give Trump a chance.

Or how about Judge Janine Pirro? She’s not only smart, fearless, Conservative but beautiful to boot!

As a celebrity and political amateur, Trump needs somebody who's not a celebrity with little Washington political experience.

Judge Jeanine is a good idea, with TWO big NO-NOS; same state as Trump and her ex-husband's troubles make her too much like Gerry Ferraro!

For a political site, I am constantly SHOCKED by how very LITTLE so many posters know about politics, American political history, and history of any kind. :-(
