IT'S GOING TO BE IVANKA TRUMP!
I don’t think it will be Pence. I honestly don’t have a feel for who he ultimately will be the one. I do think Trump would benefit from someone with a military background which would be the key trait if I were leading the search.
The person should not be afraid to be outspoken but should not be known for bombast. Trump is the star and he doesn’t need a distraction. He also needs someone who can talk on their feet and has proven themselves able to deal with the press. The person should also be someone that can command respect from across conservativdom. He needs someone who can help him get solid endorsements from those like Cruz who are still butthurt and need a push to get on the train.
I suspect he will go with a woman who has those qualities. It makes sense. Its the area he needs the most help in and a woman pick will help take away Hillary’s “woman’s card”. I don’t think he will pick a Bush era lightningrod option like Rice. People always suggest her but while I think she did a fine job she would carry all that Bush era baggage.
I’ll wait and see. Right now Trump is building the suspense up. I don’t think we will be disappointed.
I’m getting a creeped out feeling that the GOPe has forced all possible contenders, except Newt, to just say no.
I fear that Newt is the only one who is going to accept the VP spot.
I also fear that Newt just brings all of the wrong optics, and the wrong message to the ticket. I think that well over 50% of the American electorate absolutely despise Newt. We all don’t...but we don’t have the votes.
