A former adviser to Donald Trump floated Utah Rep. Mia Love on Friday as a possible pick for vice president on the real-estate mogul's ticket.
"If you were to name some people that nobody is talking about, to keep an eye on with the vice president [pick] … who would you say we should keep our eye on?" asked Brian Kilmeade, a Fox News Radio host.
The former adviser, Michael Caputo, prefaced his answer by saying he was "never in those discussions" because they were "above my pay grade."
That said, he provided a couple names.
"The two people I think you should look at - and these are unorthodox. First is Mia Love, the congresswoman, somebody who is an African-American leader with really bright ideas and an ability to communicate," Caputo said.
"Is there a relationship there?" Kilmeade asked.
"There is. People are looking at her. There is an incredible opportunity for the Republican Party," Caputo replied.

Mia Love is am ultra wobbly RINO.
Not quite the worst pick in the world, but close.
I live in Utah, she represents the district I live in...when she was ‘running’ she ‘promised’ she would work for the citizens in ‘her district’....so what does she do? She gets back there, goes to a dinner and takes a half million dollars from some lobbyist that has ‘nothing to do with what is working in her district’!!!!
Lying little creep!!!
I posted many, many months ago that Trump already knows who his veep pick is to be, and it'll be someone we never gave much thought to...and we will be delighted and inspired by the choice!

I think I agree with you. I haven’t been a fan but always recognized his good points and I do see his value-add to the Trump campaign.

We all know what that means, so this trial won't interfere with Mike Lee's senate run...plus he is very good friends with Ted Cruz and ‘Rat’ Romney...so there you go on the Senate...
Floated is a great term.
As far as Conservatism goes, she has turned into a floater, so why not.
I had such high hopes for Mia Love when she first came on the scene.
This has happened so many times. We need to gut Congress and the Senate, and install a new human infrastructure.
You mean like Renee Ellmers, Ron Johnson and Kelly Ayotte? Too bad about Ellmers, huh?”
Yep. Ellmers appeared to fool a whole lot of people. Ayotte doesn’t surprise me. Sent her a Confederate flag as well as some pages I copied out of an old book I had from school which talked about the history of the Confederacy and the flag. Told her thought her constituents would be better served if they had someone representing them who took the time to learn about the history of the United States before they even considered holding a public office. Really, really aggravated me!
The heir apparent of the “loathe our military troops” dynasty, on the eve of war with Islam?
Toss that whiny little pansy off the stage, and his idiot pacifist father with him.
To each their own.
I campaigned for the man and worked a few weeks as paid staff for him, to help defeat Carol Mosely- Braun. She was the first African American woman ever, to be elected to the US Senate, and the only incumbent to lose her job.
I know that Fitzgerald is responsible for nominating a US Attorney, that prosecuted back to back governors of Illinois, one from each major party, and they both went to federal prison. Think about that for a minute.
The former GOP Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, IL, 14th CD., just went to prison. He molested high school wrestlers while coaching. He was blackmailed and paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars to his blackmailer- one of the kids he molested. He got prosecuted for failing to report withdrawals of large sums of money to the IRS.
While Speaker, he and big time RINO, Congressman Ray LaHood, GOP, IL 18th CD., told Fitzgerald that they were going to primary his a$$, because Fitzgerald was his own man and voted his conscience while a US Senator, instead of bringing home the bacon for Illinois. Long story short, Fitzgerald decided to leave politics, and Obama eventually won the US Senate seat. For Ray LaHood’s chicanery, Obama made him his US Transportation Secretary, giving LaHood another pension check.
I doubt you know much about the integrity of Fitzgerald, or the level of corruption in Illinois politics, especially with regards to the Combine/Uniparty, and Cook County proper.
Fitzgerald made disappointing votes from my perspective... but the powers that be in IL, will never be able to fill his shoes.
If you can name a politician that has voted 100% lockstep with your views and get them in the VP slot- do it! Good luck with that one.
I stand by my pick.
Mia, the RINO who lied to her voters; yes, that’s the one!!! Didn’t she join the Black Caucus that she said she would never join? Could that be the Mia Love, I recall?
Maputo was fired.......He knows nothing of what Trump thinks.....don’t bother Love won’t be on the ticket
he was never in on any discussions...he was fired....he is pushing his agenda
Utah Rep. Mia Love joined the ranks of Republican leaders and lawmakers who will be skipping their party’s convention next month, saying that she would instead visit Israel with a congressional delegation.

She has chosen not to attend the convention so I kind of doubt it.
She’s the one that’s not going to the convention? Geez that would be a first. The VP choice boycotted the convention?
