Is there another short list out there? Many of us are hoping for Allen West or Chris Christie. Or will The Donald surprise us all with a woman? But which woman will he choose? Allen West would sure shake up and change the polling numbers for the better. Then Hillary would really be worried!
Does Stephen Miller have any writings from Duke University the DemonRATs could hurt him with?
I’d like him to declare Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell or both as advisors.
Not West. Good guy, bad VP pick.
His number one criteria for VP is someone who can continue his agenda 100 percent in case of an accident. Its not gonna be some wishy washy Susan Martinez or Marco Rubio. The person has to have strong leadership skills and a nationalist viewpoint first and foremost. Jeff Sessions definitely has these qualities.

didn’t he get redistricted out of his seat? i seem to recall it was a clear case of shenanigans by the democRATS. not sure though, since i’m not from FL.
I think people already worry about Trump being a warmonger of sorts. West would only further that thought. Not going to win many Bernie voters with a guy who has a lot of pics out there in a military uniform.
I’d still like to and half expect to see West in there somewhere though
Christie? You mean Jabba the Gun-grabber?
Uh, NO!
...failed congressman...
*****************************
West lost only due to flagrant voter fraud in FL.
I’d be happy to see Lt. Col. West as Secretary of Defense, if not Veep.
In fact, I hope Trump names his Cabinet before the election. He can’t do it all by himself and some solid choices along the way will cement his status as a manager.
i honestly don’t understand this sort of thinking.
that’s the way RINOs think when they worry about what sort of negative press they’ll get from the NYT or the WaPo.
Trump went to military school. if the media wants photos of him in a uniform, they are easy to find. Allen West is a respected veteran who did his duty overseas in time of war.
Obama and Biden both avoided even 1 minute of military service, while happily seeing others fight and die for their freedom.
Trump won't pick someone who had a mid level military career, then lost a political race and who has zero chance of of EF effectively working Trump's agenda with a hostile obstructionist Congress
Btw has West ever even endorsed Trump or got out there to campaign for him before it was a given that Trump was locked in?
VA Secretary
1) What experience has he had to qualify him for a high executive position (hint: none).
2) What is his "debate" track record? (I put "debate" in quotes because the reality shows they have in the fall, whatever they ARE, aren't debates. They are a format wherein Joe Biden can chew up and spit out Sarah Palin AND Paul Ryan).
3) Trump's one chance to win is to push his share of the white vote over 65%. How will a naked affirmative action hire help with this?
That.
There is a designation in electoral politics, and that designation is "loser". It's not fair, it's not just, it's kinda mean - but it's real. Rick Santorum, for example - great guy, America would be blessed to have him as President, but as long as Presidents are chosen by voting? Forget him. Loser.
There are exceptions - a few. But the exceptions, like Nixon, prove the rule. Nixon's landslide in 1972 never would have happened if George Wallace hadn't won 13 million votes in 1968.
If you lose your seat in Congress, where the re-election rate is higher than the Supreme Soviet in 1965, you are a loser.
Cruz wants Trump to lose so he can run in 2020. No way he is VP. Lose, lose for Cruz there.
