Via Adam Carolla.
On whether Cruz would serve as Trump's VP:
Adam Carolla: They're talking a lot about you and Trump, and possibly vice presidency, has there been any discussion of that?
TC: Uh, none whatsoever. And I have no interest whatsoever.
On whether Cruz would pick Trump as VP:
AC: You don't want him to be your vice president??
TC: You know, it is difficult to see Donald Trump serving as anybody's vice president.
Carson would be a smarter pick anyways so it’s really no loss.
So the two are running for top ticket, not wishing to speak of the bottom half until the time is right and proper. I’m just thankful the two are on the same team and appear to be working together as one unit taking down and destroying the rotten boards of the GOP platform winos. It may not be VP for one or the other, but the fact still remains their being on the same team now, like spirit will continue and eventually include additional like minds to fully round out the entity. Think Sarah Palin, Jeff Sessions, Mike Lee, and a number of others who would be qualified in the many player positions. Oh Happy Day- a brand new home. No leaks, no creaks, and working plumbing with energy in abundance!
WE STUMP FOR TRUMP
AND CANNOT LOSE WITH CRUZ.
THE TWO ON A TICKET WILL SHOW WHERE TO STICK IT
AMERICA WANTS JUSTICE FOR HER COUNTRY AND PEOPLES.
DESTROY ALL WHO WISH HER DAMAGE...ALL OF THEM!! NO PUNISHMENT IS TOO SEVERE!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT FOR GREAT AMERICANS
WEâRE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
After he is President, he can be appointed to the Supreme Court. His intelligence and Conservative principles should not go to waste.
We all know what you meant.
Carson is the most ill prepared candidate to be President in recent memory. Dangerously unprepared to be Commander in Chief in a post Obama world.
Obviously, you were too young to know about Jesse Helms!
Anyone who goes out without a jacket is asking for it. Esp. to a photo op. Leaving it in your car is no excuse.
not eligible...
Thank you, libbylu. Merry Christmas. ;)
I doubt that Reagan or W would allow themselves to be the butt of a practical joke. Jimmy Carter probably would. He seemed pretty weak.
Absolutely agree. Hopefully chief justice when Roberts decides to write a book and spend more time with his family and improve his golf game.
So you’re saying Cruz showed up in a shirt and tie but no jacket to meet Trump? Not likely. Then you might try to tell me that Cruz must have borrowed a Trump shirt and tie for the picture. One look at the fit of Cruz’s collar tells me it is not one of Trump’s shirts, and since I don’t believe Ted goes around town in shirt and tie with no jacket, I can come to only one conclusion. The person not thinking this through is you.
It isn’t time for that decision.
I’m happy too. Trump needs a VP that won’t back amnesty, not one using weasly words about it or talking to donors behind closed doors.
As Senator, Helms practiced a conservatism that either outraged or pleased. He was labeled "Senator No" by the News and Observer for his tendency to vote against government programs. But Helms practiced what he preached. He returned millions that had been allocated for running his office. It was his mastery of parliamentary procedure that infuriated his colleagues (even Republicans); he routinely forced votes on delicate social issues such as abortion and school busing.
Helms leadership style was more than controversial; it was also effective. Helms's support of Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) for president in the 1976 North Carolina Republican primary has been credited by pundits, including Fred Barnes, as the reason for the California governor's comeback victory in 1980. When the Republicans controlled the Senate in 1981 to 1987, Helms chaired the Committee on Agriculture. When Republicans controlled the Senate during 1995-2001, he chaired the Committee on Foreign Relations. In this position, he was the most interested and exercised his greatest influence, scaling back the U.S. debt to the United Nations, reforming the State Department, defeating ambassadorial nominations of Liberals, and helping strengthen the embargo against Cuba.
As a former reporter, Helms understood the value of mass media. He relied on direct mail to collect small contributions to build multimillion-dollar war chests for his campaigns, by-passing big contributors interested only in buying influence. Helms's toughest campaign was against former Governor James Hunt (1937- ) in 1984. At over $28 million in expenditures, the 1984 campaign was the most expensive U.S. Senate campaign in history until that time. Centrist politics, which had made Hunt a formidable campaigner, were what defeated him when he challenged Helms. From the beginning, Helms attacked Hunt as being wishy-washy, and voters once again returned Helms to office. In 1990 and 1996, Helms ran against Harvey Gantt (1943- ), an African American and former mayor of Charlotte. The Helms campaign used Ganttâs affirmative action positions to defeat him. The 1990 campaign, for instance, featured an ad depicting an unemployed white worker crumbling a rejection notice after a minority landed the job.
In his last years in the Senate, Helms's declining health forced him to use a wheel chair. Announcing he would not seek reelection in 2002, Helms publicly supported Elizabeth Dole (1936- ), who won and became the first woman U.S. Senator from N.C.
Even when retired and in declining health, Helms still held influence and remained active. Political candidates sought his endorsement. Helms also wrote an autobiography and promoted the Helms Center in Wingate, which houses his correspondence and promotes the principles to which Helms dedicated his life: free enterprise and limited government. "Senator No" passed away on July 4, 2008.
If you think the Supreme Court is going to rule that a citizen at birth who did not have to go through a naturalization process, is not a natural born citizen, you are truly delusional.
good.
Is that you, David Brooks ?
