I know its not going to happen. Its just that...everytime I listen to this decorated ex-marine I tell myself.."this man on point....wish he was running shtuff."
Love Allen West, but I hope he stays away from politics. He is way too valuable as an outside voice.
Byron Donalds!!!!!!!
Byron Donalds!!!!!!
I love Allen but not as Pres/VP. another position would be better for him but not sure what
Nope. I really don’t care for someone using their military rank on their sleeve all the time. I know countless military officers and no one does it. If he had any credentials at all outside of having been in the military you’d think he would use those instead.
No! He might be a good talker, throws out red meat, but look in the details and he’s a bit loony. Last time he was running, I recall him making comments that were beyond embarrassing, were just wrong.
I’d be good with him as VP, but I don’t think he’ll run.
He would be a perfect attack dog.
Trump/West 2024. I like it.
I would love to see VP West.
Bryon Donalds? Speaking for whoever is the nominee, Trump, DeSantis, or someone else, the VP needs to be constitutionally qualified, which eliminates Haley, Ramaswamy, Rubio, Cruz, and others; they also need the ready-to-go experience to step in if necessary. I strongly think that leaves the choice among sitting governors (and there are quite a number to choose from). Lastly, who adds votes to the ticket? Trump will need a women, to balance against his history of adultery, porn stars, whores, payoffs, etc. DeSantis will need someone different, he’s already got the family and family man area covered, so he’d need someone to widen the base. No one comes immediately to mind.
That’s not too bad of an idea
Not this crap again
he was not in the Marines.
“Nope. I really don’t care for someone using their military rank on their sleeve all the time”
The term Colonel is also a title, from the commonweath of Kentucky as in Colonel Harland Sanders.
But Colonel West was army. I know plenty of retired Navy Chiefs who are still called chief. And there’s some Army Majors who are calked Major, although you won’t hear any Naval Lieutenant Commanders which is the same rank called Lieutenant Commander they just call them Commander but that’s not as frequent as either Chief, Major or Colonel or perhaps Naval Captain which is the same rank as full bird Colonel.
Allen West was not a full bird colonel he was a lieutenant colonel which in the Navy is called a Commander.
I don’t have a real problem with it but it’s kind of strange when a Lieutenant Commander wants to be referred to as Commander or Lieutenant Colonel wants to be referred to as a full bird colonel. Whereas a Major which is a Lieutenant Commander in the naval Services is sometimes referred to as Major for some reason.
He’s a wuss.
What? You don’t agree with a governor, for example? Or why I think some might be better or worse? Or that the choice depends on who the nominee is? Who’s your choice and why?
Harris proved that ANYBODY can handle the VP job. All you have to be able to do is talk **** and giggle a lot.
Love his quote about carrying a gas can through hell to save his men.
If it’s about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I’d go through hell with a gasoline can.
Allen West
