Arizona’s former governor, Jan Brewer, who has been described as “a conservative icon of sorts” during her six-year tenure, is now considered a serious choice to be Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s second-in-command.

We are getting such conflicting reports about Brewer’s position. Last week we’re told she’s with the #nevertrumpers advocating nonsense. The month before she’s alongside Trump proclaiming him as the very best candidate. Now there’s a report about her being a VP selection (something I agree would be an excellent choice).
I think the reporting is faulty and not Brewer.
Find someone who doesnt like McCain or is neutral, maybe Thad Cochran.
The other Senator from Nebraska Deb Fischer.
She should not be VP. She is 72 and not ready to be president. But she would make a good addition to the Trump team.
Yes. Do the arithmetic.
Trump said he wants a VP with experience inside Congress, and/or someone with strong military and foreign policy chops.
Brewer has none of those qualities, so no!
For many, age is not a concern because they can’t think through 4 terms and add 4+4+4+4.
[Jan Brewer opposed Obama on securing the border long before Trump did. She has not always been successful. ]
From what I remember, she also joined the list of states agreeing to expand Medicaid to foster Obamacare.
Yup.
Yes. Mary Fallin would be the better choice. More conservative, experience in Congress, and younger.

Brewer strongly opposes Amnesty. She may have other flaws, but she is good on that key issue.

Brewer seems to oppose Obamacare and federal health care in general - another plus.

Brewer is rated A+ by the NRA and has exactly the right stance on our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms.
She may have flaws as a person or on other policies, but in the three most important areas for a chief executive she is very good.
Rubio is another one who belongs in jail. All of the open borders/amnesty pukes have violated their oath of office. If it were up to me they’d be on death row for their actions attempting to destroy our sovereignty.
No
You are right about the three most important issues. If Brewer is “right” on all of them, Trump should consider her seriously.
If her worst flaw is defending the sitting US Senator from her state, Trump could do a lot worse. I'm not saying she's the right choice, but she is dramatically better than Rubio, Jeb, Kasich, Christie, or anyone else from the pro-Amnesty crowd.
I hope he picks Scott Walker. I know he is considered a “RINO” but he proved he was an effective leader. He is popular in Wisconsin. Therefore, he can help Trump pick up that state. I would argue that is the state that Trump did the worse. Even Bush never won that state.
It’s Sarah Palin, she just took out the speakerbag of the house.
I would LOVE to see Trump choose Sarah Palin as his VP.
If only for the spectacle of John McCain and all of the other GOP establishment types engaging in pretzel back-flips over how she’s not really qualified.
