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.

A lot of Tea Party people are not happy with West, who was elected on the strength of the movement and turned around almost immediately to discuss putting tax hikes into play.

> First off, I believe he is not a Washington DC insider.

Trump has stated he will pick a VP to help him navigate the legislative process, and West doesn’t have the experience to do that.

> I believe Allen West also has a connection of some sort with Trump.

Other than being falsely accused of stuff by Michelle Fields, I don’t see the connection.

It won’t - it will be obvious tokenism, given how little else West offers.

I don’t see a single voter who would vote Trump with West on the ticket who wouldn’t vote that way with a different VP.
