Uh, may want to rethink that one. The same mccrystal that joined with betray-us and margabby kelly giffords bunch? The guy who only wants to "selectively" protect and defend the Constitution? That mccrystal? NO! He musta took a different oath than I swore to back in '67. I believe mine included the entire Constitution.

I hope not.

McChrystal missed the Islamic religious threat, and said it was a lack of jobs in Afghanistan that led to the TALIBAN being the reason they could get new recruits.

To me McChrystal is another naive Infidel and shouldn't be in the forefront of facing up to Islam. -Tom

Any republican ticket that includes an officer that served the usurper is a non-starter for me.

While Donald is politically inexperienced, he can’t be that dumb to choose a retired military man for VP. Trumps advisers should be shot if they let him make that huge mistake.

My guess:

The Donald (6 weeks ago): "I've decided on ______ as VP, but don't tell anyone!"

The Donald's family & campaign staff: "Okay, but what should we say when the mainstream media calls and asks?"

The Donald: "Oh, just pull some Random Name out of the air, anybody except _____ and tell tell them that it's super-duper secret and hush-hush, it is NOT for publication, but Random Name is on my short list!"

Trump needs a veep who knows how to navigate in Congress. Someone like Newt, only two decades younger.

He was a Democrat—selected for his liberal stand on many issues by Obama. But when he didn’t tow the party line he was sacked by Obama. He may not be a Democrat now. My guess he’s a Republican. He was a good General by all accounts and would do well with Trump—BUT-—Trump needs a Washington man who knows the strings to pull if he wins the election. Maybe for Sec. of Defense might be a better job for McChrystal.
