Former Trump adviser reveals who 'nobody is talking about' that you should 'keep an eye on' for VP
Business Insider ^ | 06/25/2016 | Oliver Darcy

A former adviser to Donald Trump floated Utah Rep. Mia Love on Friday as a possible pick for vice president on the real-estate mogul's ticket.

"If you were to name some people that nobody is talking about, to keep an eye on with the vice president [pick] … who would you say we should keep our eye on?" asked Brian Kilmeade, a Fox News Radio host.

The former adviser, Michael Caputo, prefaced his answer by saying he was "never in those discussions" because they were "above my pay grade."

That said, he provided a couple names.

"The two people I think you should look at - and these are unorthodox. First is Mia Love, the congresswoman, somebody who is an African-American leader with really bright ideas and an ability to communicate," Caputo said.

"Is there a relationship there?" Kilmeade asked.

"There is. People are looking at her. There is an incredible opportunity for the Republican Party," Caputo replied.

Uh, NO.

Too green for one thing.

Let’s be serious about this. It is not a boobie prize job. Trump is 70 and a lot of people would like ot see him dead.

I read somewhere that she is in serious jeopardy of losing her re-election bid.

"Love is probably misdirection, although it does point out that the VP will not be over 65, and probably not over 60. That rules out most of the favorites mentioned here on FR."

Pay not attention to the man behind the curtain. All the talk of who it will be is all boob bate for bubbas. This is more serious this is all a smoke screen.

I have my pic, it could be wrong, but my potential candiate and all the media are quite about his potentiality. Sometimes the quite ones are the ones to watch...

There's not one Republican in congress who, if selected by Trump as his VP, would hesitate to stab Trump in the back. I wouldn't trust any professional politician, either.

THEY are the ones rigging the system, they are the ones who got us here for there own enrichment.

We've got to do all we can to warn Trump away from these globalist RINO traitors.

Won't cut it.

Just like Sarah Palin, she won't be the "right kind" of (black) woman. I.E, not a liberal Democrat.

How about Steve Forbes?

Here we go again. Another old white guy gray-beard?? Hell if you want the same old tired, stale, one term geezers, why not Bob Dole, or John McCain? Sheesh!

Seriously, look at a 50-something, bright, fresh, conservative, entrepreneur businessman, Marine combat veteran like Duncan Hunter. It doesn't hurt that he's a Congressman from CA and sits on a variety of committees. Look him up.

Mia is sweet and young and seems very conservative, but she is not presidential material for the United States of America.

NO way is TRUMP so irresponsible as to select her for a VP spot, to assist as a legislative sage to the mechanics of the two houses of Congress. NO way.

The world is on fire and TRUMP is no nit wit.

TRUMP will select gravitas, proven expertise and heavy on brains and with an ability to LEAD, in the event of crisis and in preparation for 2020. Loyalty will be the starting point.

Rice doesn't want it. Besides, she's a Bushie clone.

Duncan Hunter - Conservative Representative from California should be under consideration if you want a fresh look.

“Agree. Contributed to her first campaign but didn’t take her long to side with the RINOs”

...and that is the problem. I wonder what if anything she has said about Trump?

I dont think she is going to help much with the black vote. Her parents were Haitian and thats definitely not ethnically connected.

Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton has a MUCH stronger spine than Mia Love who, sadly, seemed to join the Establishment crowd.

Cotton has been VERY vocal of Dingy Harry.

My dark horse remains conservative Marsha, Marsha, Marsha Blackburn (TN) who has stated she would be very open to VP.
