My vice presidential prediction is: Trump is about to make his first mistake. I knew this would happen as soon as he hired campaign consultants, rather than relying on his gut. If these campaign consultants were any good, their first piece of advice to Trump would be, “Fire us immediately!”
If Trump picks a typical Republican, the odds are better than even that his nominee will end up withdrawing in order to win the good opinion of The New York Times.
Once a week until the election, there will be some fresh media hysteria about a Trump pop-off, and his nominee will come under enormous pressure to repudiate Trump — destroying Trump’s candidacy and winning himself a lifetime of media adulation. The nominee will have visions of well-compensated board positions, Time magazine’s Man of the Year, meetings with actresses, his own show on Fox News — maybe NBC! — and not one, but two covers on Vanity Fair.
Trump doesn’t need a vice president from the party he’s just buried.
Everyone thinks Trump’s model should be Reagan, who chose his main primary rival as his vice presidential nominee. It’s true that the important thing is for Trump to win. Reagan couldn’t have saved the country if he had lost, and nor can Trump.
But, apart from signing off on amnesty, choosing a Bush for his vice president was Reagan’s biggest mistake, foisting this pestilence on the country for no reason. Reagan won in a landslide. Did he really need to worry about carrying Greenwich, Connecticut?
It took 26 years for voters to correct Reagan’s vice presidential mistake, finally rejecting the Bush brand beginning with the 2006 midterm elections. This year, they are trying to correct Reagan’s amnesty mistake. Why pick a vice president who won’t let the voters do that?

Just don’t think an establishment Republican.. I do not consider Newt establishment FYI.
NEWT NEWT NEWT!! That chant is building from Cleveland tonight. Donald promised that he would be in “ our new government”. Newt is very close and by far the best in history if he needed to step up. God Bless Donald in this huge decision. ( do not pick a governor— they dont know jack about Washington!!)
Maybe Trump should pick Coulter.
She is exactly right that most of them can’t take the heat and would betray Trump - for certain Christie would. Likewise Kasich, Cruz.
I don’t think Gingrich will, he might disagree respectfully.
Not sure who else can be trusted. Sessions I guess.
He didn't know he was going to win by a landslide at the time.
In fact, he was behind in the polls much of the time.
Greenwich and Connecticut haven't gone Republican in presidential election for a quarter century now.
Maybe if Coulter was running for President, she could decide who should be VP.
He most certainly should NOT pick Cruz.
Trump's VP pick be damned, Anybody but that GD criminal witch !
I don't need no stinking VP pick !
Annie has vice presidential experience in Sharknado. “Sharks are bad for the economy, bad for society, bad for schools.” (Insert illegal invasion for sharks and she’s pretty much got it)
So according to Coulter who should be Trump’s VP? ...
So these guys...
- Kansas SoS Kris Kobach
- Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown
- North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory
- Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo
Yes, he hired campaign consultants...You have to understand though. Trump actually views them as “consultants”, not decision makers...He will listen to what they have to say, evaluate it with his own ideas, then he will make HIS own decisions...
They aren’t going to taunt Republicans about being heartless.
Trump’s gut made him realize that he needs some experts on the team. Hisgut also told his months ago that he will need someone who knows the actual workings of the legislature, executive and judiciary branches. He’s acting like someone who expects to win. He has to do better than Admiral Stockdale.
Coulter says here keep trusted Senator Sessions in the Senate to fight the Cheap Labor Express.
Has anyone except Kobach or Brown defended Trump going after the Mexican judge & pocahontas?
Also, if not primarily, he picked Bush to unify the party; there was quite a split at the time.
Yup, no rino uniparty professional politicians.
She gets an A for this one. She pegged ALL of them for the cheap labor whores that they are including Newt.
