(CNN)Donald Trump's campaign is scrambling to ramp up its planning for the general election, including scraping together a list of potential vice presidential candidates, after Trump abruptly became the presumptive Republican nominee Tuesday night.

The Trump campaign, blindsided by rival Ted Cruz's sudden exit from the race, is now beginning internal deliberations about potential vice presidential candidates, two Trump campaign sources tell CNN.

that unless Trump picks Cruz to be VP
*****
You realize Trump has said for the last 7-9 months that TC is Constitutionally ineligible to hold high office because he wasn’t born in the USA.

I've had to overlook a lot with Trump, so why should I not overlook something with her? I don't know what oh GOP, the party. Which one hasn't done something FReepers don't like?

Maybe you will come around in time. I'm not giving up on her just yet.

Trump/Love 2016

How do you call a guy the biggest liar you’ve ever seen in your life and then tell the country he’s the best person in America to get a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court?

The rap against Newt when he was speaker was he was brilliant and a tremendous forward thinker - kind of a chessplayer as a strategist.

But —

He was absolutely unable to organize his time or his mouth.

The worst possible traits for Chief of Staff, especially for a President Trump who would come in knowing less about our system of government than any president in history.

If he asked me, I would tell him to take a woman CEO. If you’re running as an outsider, then run as an outsider.

We have yet to see the promises Trump might break or feel a need to if we are fortunate enough to see him elected. I guarantee you there will be some disappointments. As to Boehner, I supported him long after most gave up on him, then I got raging mad at his betrayal by not putting up a fight over hardly anything. What became of the lawsuit he filed against Obama? I haven't heard a thing about it and he is out of there.

Now look what Ryan went and did. I hate him already. He is anathema to me.

I didn't vote for Boehner. Or Love. They are not in my district.

I'll have to look up her web site. If it is just one thing I will give her a pass. Remember, these people the minute they get in Washington want to get re-elected and, more importantly, do what their constituents want, but I guess they must get scared to take a stand. Cruz did take that stand in the Senate, and I ended up not liking him either, but he did put up a fight.

Newt, for all his faults, which you mentioned, was *the* mastermind behind the Republican takeover of the Congress in 1994. And that was no small thing! Check the Dem majority margins in the House and Senate on the eve of the 1994 election. And check when was the previous time the GOP controlled both houses of Congress.

Newt, along with Dick Armey and a number of other lieutenants, crafted one of the most brilliant, fifty-state-wide campaign coups in history.

And he is now older, more experienced, seasoned. He was fantastic, IMO, during the 2012 primary. Last man standing verus Mittens. No gaffes at all during that entire campaign. He simply got ground down by the Romney/GOP-e machine.

Mia Love is a freshman House rep. There’s not even one chance in a thousand that Trump would choose her as his running mate.

So what?

She will be a distraction again. Her family has endless crises.
It will be Sat night live all over again.

Remember...its not about you or me or even all the conservatives. Its about the small sliver of independents that determine the election.

Palin has star power with conservatives..and quite different star power after Sat night live for the rest of the country.
