Jeff Sessions is on Donald Trump's shortlist for a potential vice presidential running mate, according to reports.
The New York Post said Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has narrowed down his list of potential running mates. The list includes Sessions, Alabama's junior Senator, as well as a retired general and a Washington lawmaker.
Sessions, the first Senator to endorse Trump, is advising him on foreign policy and immigration matters...

I would love to see a Trump/Sessions ticket.
Sessions or bust.
Please, pretty please, with a cherry on top!
The article says Corker, say it isn’t so.
I would love to see a Trump/Sessions ticket...
The man knows how to do the House and Senate, he knows what Trump wants, and he’s very qualified...
I have not been able to wrap myself around Newt, and the only other one I really like is Rand Paul...So out of those two, things would be good...
Corker should become a dirty word. No Corker allowed.
Corker went to see Trump at Trump Towers at Corker’s request just to see what Trump is like, etc...
Trump is smarter than that to pick the Corker Bill....
I agree. Jeff Sessions has earned it. Though, I’d love to see him as SCOTUS.
As long as it is not a cheap labor importer, I’m good.
Corker is a non-starter.
Take a look around to Selma, Alabama...
He’d be a great VP choice. For the record he’s only 3 years younger than Newt, who so many seem to think is “too old”.
Roger Stone shared yesterday the Corker meeting was a nothing burger as to VP selection. Corker had called Trump to request a meeting. Corker would be highly unlikely seen on a VP list of any length.
If he’s not going to zero in on a single state (and that strategy has not worked in SOME time), Sessions is a GREAT pick.
One, Sessions is qualified
Two, Sessions was on board early, so he doesn’t have to walk anything back
Three, he is considered to be principled, intelligent and able.
Four, they are politically compatible on this campaign’s core issues.
Five, this makes Sessions the de facto leader of the “regular” conservatives, this means that full-spectrum conservatism has continuity and will be mostly immune from the Republican Party earthquake that is taking place. Pity that he’s as old as Trump.
Six, ready on day one.
Seven, Alabama will replace him with another Republican, and likely a conservative vote, even if note as good as Sessions himself.
alabama is going republican no matter what. the one thing you want in a VP is the possibility of flipping a state; someone that would move votes in OH, WI, or PA, just for examples, is what he should be looking for.
Nobody is as good as Sessions for the Senate or VP. Newt would also be good for VP or Senior Adviser. He said last night on Hannity, I’m happy to serve/help any way I can.
This stori was being touted when Corker and trump met. It is shade pure and simple
I would be good with Sessions
It ain’t so
I wonder if this is part of the reason Rick Wiley was fired?
Good point......we would not lose a senate republican if Sen Sessions were chosen.
Bet it’s Newt, Sessions, and a retired General. Not necessarily in that order.
My guess: Sessions for VP; Newt for COS
