“Yes. I like Marco Rubio. Yeah. I could,” Trump told columnist Kirsten Powers about putting Rubio in his administration.

He was asked if Rubio was a potential vice president choice for him.

“There are people I have in mind in terms of vice president. I just haven’t told anybody names. … I do like Marco. I do like [John] Kasich. … I like [Scott] Walker actually in a lot of ways. I hit him very hard. … But I’ve always liked him. There are people I like, but I don’t think they like me because I have hit them hard,” Trump responded.

The good news is, Trump is figuring out the mess called politics.From the beginning he admitted he’s new to politics and it appears he may be attempting to prevent future blunders.

The Republicans have no electable candidates.

The GOP nominee must win at least 63% of the white vote to win the election.

Let me put that in historical perspective:

In 2012, Mitt Romney became the first presidential candidate in American history to win 59% of the white vote - and lose the election.

The all time American record is just 66% of the white vote - by Ronald Reagan in 1984.

I really don’t get people who like Trump, but would abandon him over a VP pick. Talk about being spoiled....

It's not "spoiled" it's voluntary blinders. They don't WANT to see anything negative about Trump or his choices - or even his past.

Ever see the avg age of actual voters and the overall population?

[ripnbang]

Yep

[Mechanicos]

More like Marsha Blackburn...

“Nikki Haley, that would be good.”

Not her. The Confederate Flag issue would be a problem with the states in the south — and for every voter who is for free speech. Aren’t there NBC issues, as with Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, etc.? She supported Cruz in her state’s primary; I can’t support anyone who supported Cruz.

[outofsalt]

He’s will need a conservative to dissimulate his liberal instincts with non tRump Rangers.

[visualops]

He is “just saying”. I wouldn’t put any stock in speculations. When he says “yeah I could”...well sure he could, doesn’t mean he will.

[trebb]

Sounds more like being polite and noncommittal while not burning any bridges. No wy he goes with Rubio or Kasich - possibly Walker because he dropped out so quick that his campaign is a forgotten deal for most.

I like your Sessions choice.

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Yes, I’ve seen the average age of voters. And?

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

Not her. The Confederate Flag issue would be a problem with the states in the south — and for every voter who is for free speech. What does it have to do with free speech? Private citizens are still allowed to display it.

Aren’t there NBC issues, as with Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, etc.?

I think the "NBC issues" would only be in the heads of a small minority of voters.

She supported Cruz in her state’s primary; I can’t support anyone who supported Cruz.

Well, then I suspect you won't be voting for the ticket.

[ripnbang]

To 70 y/o’ will fare well with the voters...exception Sander’s voters, but they don’t vote anyway.

You really have to watch those relentless attempts to unify the party behind YOUR candidate. A unified party might actually ELECT him!

[BlackElk]

Do you get the impression that napscoordinator’s function is to guarantee The Donald’s loss by insulting the rest of the party and the conservative movement?

[BlackElk]

Oh my! another example of diplomatic behavior!

[BlackElk]

Another diplomat heard from! Hey, Mussolini is no longer available and would stumble over that NBC thingie since he was not born here, had Italian citizen parents and probably never set foot here and we defeated him in WW II but he sure had the right attitude, right?

Keep up the insults, though. Teach THEM a lesson. Triumphalism uber alles! That ALWAYS works in politics.

[CAluvdubya]

I like your choice in your tagline: Duncan D. Hunter.

He's very likeable in Congress and so was his dad. He's strong on the military (having served) and illegal immigration. Also, benefitting from his dad, he knows the ins and outs of politics.

Yep, Duncan D. would be a great choice!

[BlackElk]

Works for me!

His descriptive nicknames are among the best in recent history: Mad Dog Mattis (likely would have a foreign and military policy to admire and that is LOOOOOOONG overdue) and The Warrior Monk, never married and no children but intellectually the best.

He had the distinction of commanding the First Division Marines like Patton's cousin Chesty Puller. His letter to his troops on the eve of battle in Iraq is pitch perfect. It is good to know that our country still produces such magnificent officers.

He speaks his mind and a very fine mind it is!

I would like to hear about his views on social issues and judges but I suspect that he may qualify there too.

[BlackElk]

Yeah, Scott Brown. He was once a Playgirl centerfold nude photo guy. That will turn out the Evangelicals. He is a thoroughgoing pro-abort while claiming to be my fellow Catholic. A clumsy candidate who dispatched another "Catholic" pro-abort candidate so weak that she lost in Taxachusetts and then was dispatched himself by Fauxcahontas. Brings a LOT to the ticket! Wise choice! (NOT!).

the "A white womna" sentence is incomprehensible. Life is short. I won't try.
