So was Trump, Webb was a Republican back then. His position on abortion would make it a no go for veep, though their have been several articles in the last week making the same suggestion. He'd certainly fill in Trump's lack of experience in foreign and military affairs.
Roger’s wrong on this one, unless it involves military experience from a DC pol. (And of course we’re not talking L. Graham!)
Trump himself is wildcard enough and his instinct is correct that he needs someone who understands working with Congress.
‘I saw a post recently that shot down Allen West pretty quickly.
It said he was pro Abortion.’
Link?
Love your screen name, btw. :)
You need to check your facts before you smear a good man. West is staunchly pro-life, and has been a target of Planned Parenthood due to his attempts to defend same. Show a modicum of honor, and re-ping all those people on your list, and correct this misinformation, please.
‘Pro-life freshman Representative Allen West, a Florida Republican, has been a target of pro-abortion forces since the day he first announced his 2010 candidacy for Congress. After defeating pro-abortion Democrat Ron Klein, West went to Congress in January 2011 and has since taken bold stands in defense of unborn human life.’

Allen West is a pro-life champion; please see post 125.
Thank-you and God Bless!
Blessings to you in return—and thanks for all you do!
I think that Rand Paul would be a good pick. The hardcore conservatives and the neocons will hate that but it seems that they would prefer Hillary anyways.
“a strong military background “
Is a plus. A strong political background is a neccessity. The person needs to know how to both campaign and govern.
Do you have sources for that? Thanks.
Here’s your man. Definitely not a “perfumed prince”. You will find no better military mind that General Jack Keane. His military awards include......
“Ranger Tab, Combat Infantryman Badge, Master Parachutist Badge, and Air Assault Badge.”
Former commander.
XVIII Airborne Corps
101st Airborne Division

thank you kindly :)
I have no respect for his peers in the Senate.
The US Senate: You will seldom find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
There’s two remaining Senatorial patriots: Sessions and Lee.
And for that matter, Cruz is still in the Senate. These "Cruz is the devil" people are bat$#!+ crazy. So there's three.
Three percent of current Senators are worth a damn.
Pretty poor odds.
From my perspective, after TPA and Corker, Cruz is a globalist.

Joni Ernst would also make an interesting choice. Discuss.

The Attorney General will be more important than the V.P. We need a pit-bull, to coin a phrase. Someone who is ravening and slavering to put dozens upon dozens of Democrats and Republicans in prison, starting with Soetoro and all the conspirators who faked his “birth certificate,” Jarrett, Hillary and the Rapist, Huma and the Muslim Brotherhood mob, Boehner and Ryan, etc., etc. 45 posted on 5/3/2016 11:38:19 PM by Arthur McGowan

He’s pro-abortion, which is proof of bad character, intellectual dishonesty, and corruption. 55 posted on 5/4/2016 12:13:30 AM by Arthur McGowan
Thank you...I was thinking that Allen West WAS pro life.....
I thought about him earlier as well. Might need him for Defense however. I would be very happy with Keane. Wise man.
