I think it is stupid to pick a registered Democrat to be the VP selection of the Republican Party. There has to be a reason he is a Democrat, so what happens if something happens to Trump (he is 70, after all)?

With that said, does anyone believe that a person who would know Trump's thinking would be talking to the Washington Post?

[Genoa]

Presidents who were generals:
Washington, a good president;
Jackson, a good president;
WH Harrison, died early;
Taylor, a mediocrity;
Pierce, a mediocrity;
A Johnson, a mediocrity;
Grant, a mediocrity;
Hayes, a mediocrity;
Garfield, died early;
Arthur, a mediocrity;
B Harrison, a mediocrity;
Eisenhower, a mediocrity.

I would much prefer a Retired LTC, by the name of West, even though he spelt my name wrong. Most officers are at their peak at the LTC and Col level, after that, it’s mostly desk work and politics.

[SisterK]

Flynn better choice for Homeland Security. Flynn knows mudslimes, but Sherriff Clark is more rounded, better VP pick.

Trump/Giuliani 2016

[little jeremiah]

ABOUT TIME! Flynn.....

[Sooth2222]

We still have more than a week to go. Did Trump ever announce the winner more than a week before the final episode of one of his reality TV shows?

So my guess would be that it's still too early and it's not going to be Flynn. The leaks are all coming through the "wrong" media outlets -- WaPo, NYT, CNN -- ones that Trump would be happy to feed bogus information.

If it is Flynn -- have the Republicans ever had two (2) Democrats on their ticket before this year? But at least it is giving Trump free media attention.

Since Flynn is a Democrat, this has the eGOP in a tizzy. They are plotting another coup, this one for VP selection, right now.

Not happening. He doesn’t help Trump.

[Gator113]

Please...no damn democrats.

[novemberslady]

I’m not voting for a democrat

[Pride in the USA]

Trump should take a good look at Allen West for his VP.

[catnipman]

I’ll be SO happy when Trump finally makes his VP pick so we can end these pointless, inane debates about who Trump should pick for VP, and get on with the pointless, inane debates about why he should or should not have picked whomever he picked.

[Defiant]

No one who has ever voted democrat while employed in a position to know better is eligible, in my opinion.

[mosaicwolf]

Most Generals make very bad politicians. They are not used to compromising their integrity on a daily basis. Note.......I said most not all.

[Pic7]

Still hoping it is Newt. Newt has done the heavy lifting for decades to move our nation back to it's founding principles for decades. #NEWT4VP

[djstex]

Thanks for the post.
Trump is his own Man!
I really think whomever he picks will be fine.

[nikos1121]

Wow! Now that would shake things up, would it not?

[Pinkbell]

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?

[Future Snake Eater]

He can do better. I heard Flynn say with my own two ears, regarding the various government spying programs, “If you haven’t done anything, then you have nothing to hide.”

No, he wasn’t being sarcastic.
