You contradict your own argument — that the GOP leadership will force Trump to choose a vp of their liking.

They're not going to force Trump to do anything. They're going to do it themselves.

Do you seriously think John McCain (for example) decided on his own to pick a running mate in 2008 who he despised?

“They’re not going to force Trump to do anything. They’re going to do it themselves.”

Can you be serious? That is forcing Trump.

“Do you seriously think John McCain (for example) decided on his own to pick a running mate in 2008 who he despised?”

Yes, (she campaigned for the idiot when he ran again, out of loyalty, she said). Everyone in McCain’s campaign despised Sarah Palin. McCain chose her because he thought she could deliver the conservative vote, not because he liked her. Historically, the presidental candidate does not care for the vice presidential candidate because it is strictly a political marriage.
