Why? What does West bring to the table?
I think West brings three valuable things to the position(s).
First off, I believe he is not a Washington DC insider. Everyone in America is SICK AND TIRED of Washington DC insiders, selling out America. It is maddening, how much damage the DC insiders have done to our beloved nation.
I believe Allen West also has a connection of some sort with Trump. They seem to get each other. And West will attract even more black Americans to Trump (and he’ll get quite a few, even without him)
Finally I think such a choice would insulate Trump from accusations of racism. Which seems very useful, while he has such a non-PC agenda.
Besides, I think West is among the very most qualified for the job.
I think Trump should think long and hard, before counting West out.
A real good guy, in my opinion.
I think many people on FR are enamored with Black, Conservative, military men.
I don't see him bringing anything to the ticket.
