They still havent figured out Donald Trump.
GOP leaders thought theyd outfox the frontrunner-they-dont-want by making him sign a mafia-style loyalty pledge to the GOP. He signed it, no problem. And why not? The Republican Party isnt exactly the Sopranos. What are they going to do if he breaks the pledge anyway? Break his thumbs?
In return, the geniuses behind this idea have now forced every other GOP contender to vow support for Trump if he wins the nominationalong with whoever he chooses as his running mate. Which prompts us to ask a fun and fascinating question: Just who would that running mate be?
Too soon to envision a Trump ticket, you say? Well, why should that stop us? After all, America has had to endure a year or more of earnest speculation among DC pundits about a potential Bush or Clinton White Housevision quests that are literally putting voters to sleep. So what exactly would GOP nominee Trump do? We know, of course, what the ever-predictable professional political class would advise: that Trump pick someone with considerable Washington experience to balance the ticket. Maybe a solid Midwestern senator like Rob Portman. Or someone who can help solve his alleged problems with the women, like a Kelly Ayotte or maybe a Nikki Haley. He might, theyd suggest, pick a safe, calming choicelike some of the more establishment-approved Republicans hed just run against. A Jeb Bush or a John Kasich or a Marco Rubio.

Wait till the media decides to destroy Trump. He’s got better than 30 years of media ammo hanging over his head and oddly enough the media hasn’t seen fit to use it.....yet.
I like Palin. I like Florina (if she gets her head out) .I love Cruz ( but I’m afraid Trump won’t want the constitutional issue after he tried to prove obama was born outside of the country— really a simple reject). He might go with Carson. I see this as the leader for VP right now.
Trump hasn’t even started. Can you imagine the media blitz on the weak minded? This is over.
The choice is clear.

I like Cruz but Ben Carson would be a devestating VP pick. He would destroy the Democrtic narrative and make us much more competitive in the key battleground states.
We have the Iran deal, boner and turtle to worry about first...we are way to early to wonder about who Trump is going to pick for his running mate?
Has shillary, or any others decided yet? Why should Trump have to, I haven’t even seen any other candidates sign their pledges yet, or was that just Trump that was suppose to do that?
You won’t believe the ammo he will fire!! it will be shock and awe.
WHY is it time? Is anyone asking Clinton? Or Bush or Sanders?
Jefferson Sessions as Vice President
Department of State, (return INS.) John Bolton
Department of Justice - Trey Gowdy (Suggested by The Donald)
Department of Treasury, (includes former Homeland Security, (Customs) Carl Icahn (Offered and Accepted)
Department of War, (change the name back, include VA function.) Gen. James Mattis
Department of Interior, (includes legitimate functions only of former Transportation, Homeland Security (Border Patrol,) and Energy Departments) Gov. Palin
Department of Labor and Commerce ELIMINATE
Department of Health and Human Services - ELIMINATE

This proposed model has the President directly managing six subordinates which is optimal.
In non-cabinet level jobs
Sheriff Clarke should be FBI Director
Doctor Benjamin Carson as Surgeon General
Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson would be great as President Trumps Co-Press Secretaries.
For his safety I’d recommend picking another non-establishment candidate. Carson or Cruz, Palin has too many negatives (even though they are made up).

I have absolutely nothing against Dr. Carson, but right now, I more convinced than ever that Trump needs a person like Ted Cruz.
But, when Ted runs after 8 years, I wouldn’t be opposed to Dr. Carson joining Ted.
Trump/Gingrich

I'm sure HE knows that is his strength
Gingrich was a throw it out there name ... not really serious, because I'm not sure who could fit with Trunmp well .... possibly Fiorina
Nice line-up ... but no Alan West
Carson supports amnesty.
The going got tough and she quit.
Let’s blow up some heads... Palin!!!
