You’re obsessed. And your adulation of Van Jones is pretty freaking weird.

“Inexperienced” Democrat?

Inexperienced at what? Being a slimy politician?

anyway, you can obssess about Newt and Van Jones and how evil Flynn is, without my participation.

Anyone who is a registered Democrat in this day and age is not conservative. The Reagan Democrats do not exist anymore, that was 30 years ago! Trump is already considered an outsider, a liberal, more Democrat than Republican by some. The last thing he needs is a real Democrat on the ticket.

Very well said. This story comes from Bezo's Washington Post who has hired dozens of Liberal Political so called journalists, otherwise known as Political HACKS, to do all they can to prevent Trump from winning. Trump choosing an unknown Democrat as a running mate would be the worst decision he could make. His inner circle needs to be using wisdom. Someone like Newt can be trusted. Newt wants to make America Great Again. Newt has never voted for a lying democrat his entire life.

The left fights so dirty. Trying to get the right to support a Democrat they have never heard of before as the VP choice. All because he criticized Zero a couple of times. Newt for VP. The right choice for America.

Still shocked that people are considering a very UNKNOWN registered Dem as the VP.

Lies. Not a fan of Van Jones. Quit lying.

Never said Flynn was evil. Said he has not proven anything to be the Republican Vice Presidential nominee as it relates to promoting conservatism and the constitution.

He’s also way too easily pulled off message like Trump and all too eager to jump on the couch with the likes of Nancy Pelosi.

If Newt is not the nominee, will still vote for Trump.

However, it is very very clear Trump would benefit with Newt as his VP on all fronts. For anyone to say Newt is not a Patriot is ironic. Newt is not perfect. But he is very much of the spirit of our founding fathers. He is fearless when it comes to the lying liberal media. He knows and loves our nations history. It is disguising to see the disparaging remarks against a fellow patriot on a conservative website. People are so nit picky when it comes to Newt. Newt scares the libs and the Clintons for a reason. Hmmm, wonder why? The Clintons could care less if some unknown democrat now says he is completely inline with the republican platform and should be the REPUBLICAN Vice Presidential nominee. If and when did he change his party affixation?

This decade, this week, yesterday? Of course he needs to change it if he is going to run as the Republican VP nominee. It’s absurd.

Franklin Pierce was another Democratic President who was once a general. He was a brigadier general in the Mexican-American War.

My concern is that he is a registered Democrat, and if something (God forbid) happens to Trump, we’ll have a Democrat in the White House making Supreme Court picks. Is he even pro-life?

He “once” was and then ran as a Republican. If Flynn was “once” a Democrat, I wouldn’t care.

Yes, but he isn’t “once” a Democrat. He IS. We know he’s good on defense, but how is he on other issues like abortion, marriage, immigration, taxes, healthcare, etc?

I agree. I’m sure he’d be excellent on defense, and I’m all for making him secretary of state or secretary of defense, but putting a Democrat next in line for the Oval Office? Why?

There are 1.3 million unborn children killed every single year in this country. If they were newborns, it would be a top priority. We need a pro-life VP.

They don’t like Hillary because she is corrupt and beholden to Wall Street, yes, but also because she isn’t far enough to the left for them. They would vote for any far leftist over Trump in a heartbeat. Write down a list of issues and see where you align with the Bernie people. I guarantee in not many places. There is a reason they support a socialist. Also, I guarantee you the majority of Bernie people will vote Hillary to advance the leftist agenda. No way Trump breaks 50% of Bernie vote.

Exactly! I can’t believe how many people here are just like, “Oh, okay. Great!” No one knows where he stands on any issues relevant to conservatism besides terror, all issues that have been important on FR. What does he think about abortion, marriage, the second amendment, immigration, taxes, trade, healthcare, education, etc? If something horrible happens to President Trump on January 21, we could have four more years of a Democrat.

Absolutely. People don’t know where he stands on any issues besides security. He could be liberal in any other area. We could literally be a heartbeat away from having another 4-8 years of a Dem if something, God forbid, happened to Donald Trump.

I know you run the moral absolutes list. Do we even know if Flynn is pro-life?
