I am completely against any idea of a Trump and Cruz ticket at this juncture. I don’t like Cruz anymore, and in fact I have my suspicions that he would only remain a guy with grudges in his current Senate seat but I hope not.
I didn’t know who Rick Scott was when I first read this, though now that I read the details I recall some of this from the news.
But I am like some of the others here, Rick Scott drew a blank.
Look, at this juncture I will just wait and see who Trump decides. He is going to know who would be the best fit, I think unlike in the past he will pick a VP based on who can help him to get some important things done and not so much who will help him win the general.
Nor do I think, whoever Trump chooses will be someone he just shoves in the background like so many other Presidents. I think it will be about who can help him move his agendas, be actively involved in that and a person who would be involved in the deals and the fights and the chess moves and the communications et all, not just someone that is a flower in the vase for some general campaign.
So I do not think there is going to be someone named at this time for this very reason. I am not saying he will not pick from some of the other candidates, or pick someone who would be an active partner in his administration but ALSO someone who may help win a state. Both could be nice, it is just the first as a true lieutenant will take precedant not the later.
Who knows, maybe that is Rick Scott, like I said, I don’t know the guy. I don’t think Trump needs to pick a well known name such as a Palin or other.
As for my personal favorites, I am way over any idea of a Trump and Cruz ticket. It is more some of the Cruz supporters and the Beckers and Levin who have totally turned me off from that idea than Cruz himself, but I have had enough of the Nixonian Cruz and his preacher father as a mix and I don’t care what the jealous pompus Levin’s think about Trump can only get 35% of the base in the primary so he will lose the general when it is clear to me that Cruz gets less than that and Cruz is the one who without question would get massacred in the general and that Levin is really now attacking the Republican base which is clearly going Trump.
I have no idea who Trump will pick, these would only be my own ideas but actually if other names come up maybe they would make more sense and I just didn’t think of them.
How about Gingrich, or Giuliani, or some other business magnet, or Carson, or Huckabee, or ... sorry, I am tired.
Not Rubio after his obvious shift back to going along with the amnesty agenda.
I threw in some politicians there, but actually I would prefer a non-politician. Palin won’t work out as a VP, that would be a big mistake, but she should absolutely be thanked for her support and I see nothing dirty or corrupt about being thankful especially when a high five was welcomed at the time.
So I think Palin SHOULD get something. Seriously. Just not VP. And, again, personally I see nothing wrong in giving some thanks. But I have no idea what that would be. Or if she would even be interested in. But that is up to Trump, not some supporter like me. Part of the reason I am voting Trump is that I am convinced he will think it out and do what will work best for his agenda in office and that’s is good because what he is saying on the campaign trail is what I want to see in the agenda so whatever it takes.
I think a great VP should have some background in national security and or police services.
