Odds are most of us would settle for a Trump/Cruz ticket, that seems to be the ticket that would insure a landslide. But what is your preference? Which ticket would you prefer to take out Hillary in a 55/45 shellacking?
What the Hell is “Get?” I don’t have a “get.” I have a gut.
“Get”
Did you mean “Gut” or “Cat”?
;-)
Unfortunately, Kasich is going to be VP.
Trump/Walker
I’ll have to get a get, I don’t have one.
Trump/Cruz will never happen. Cruz/Rubio exists but is impossible because Cruz would never be selected at a convention. Rubio will likely be thrown under the bus because they know his financials are vulnerable. At the convention they will pick a safe GOPe candidate. If they are really really stupid, it will be Romney or Jeb. If they are a little smarter, they will pick some random “acceptable” fool the base doesn’t know enough about to hate automatically.
That’s why, at this point, Trump must win. Once it gets to convention, the GOP will be in charge. We know Cruz sold out since he’s already told voters he thinks Amnesty/TPP Rubio would be a better President than Trump.
Trump/Cruz was always my hope.
But I fear those bridges have been burned.
Trump/whoever
Trump / Christie
Trump / Sessions
It won’t be anything / Trump. He’s not a VP. No way. No day.
The title makes no sense. Neither does the rest!
Trump/West
Trump/Brewer
Cruz/Rubio would have both their eligibility questioned. I think it would be very stupid for them to run together.
None of those. If I were to guess now I would say this is Trump’s to lose and if he is nominated he will pick someone unusual. Don’t rule out Cruz as VP but I don’t see trump following convention here.
I want David Clarke as VP.
What is a “get”?
I don’t think there is a ticket out there that can win 55/45 against the Democrats. It’s just not in the realm of possibility.
First, I don’t think it’s a clinch that Clinton will be the nominee. The legal problems keep getting more and more serious, and the dam will break soon. If Sanders runs, he will actually pull a little better than Clinton in the more liberal States. Won’t affect the electoral positions, but will affect the national popular vote.
Second, there are 45% of Americans that actually like the way the country is going. RCP average of Obama’s job approval over the last year has consistently been between 48 and 52%. This is not a population that is begging for change from the status quo.
Third, Trump and Clinton both have huge negatives and almost 100% name recognition. Not a lot of movement toward support, so the numbers in a head-to-head match up will put both around 46% base support, leaving only 8% of the population to make the decision.
With that, a Trump/Cruz ticket would consolidate, and motivate, a large section of the Republican base.
A Trump/Rubio or Trump/Kasich would consolidate and motivate a smaller section of the Republican base.
My personal hope would be a Trump/Cruz ticket. It would be provide a strong team against either a very wounded and vulnerable Clinton run or a very enthusiastic, yet overly liberal, Sanders run.
But we may see something like a Trump/Martinez or a Trump/Daniels ticket.
