Morning Joe VP Sweepstakes: Pence, Flynn, Christie Touted
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/11/2016 6:07:42 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

It’s the Donald Trump veep sweepstakes! Step right up and take your pick . . . The Morning Joe crew had fun playing the game this morning.

Mark Halperin pushed Indiana governor Mike Pence, saying he was someone that people would look at and say he was a responsible choice. Harold Ford, Jr. suggested a general, to shore up Trump’s military credentials–and retired General Mike Flynn’s name has been floated. Mika Brzezinski, without naming names, pushed hard for someone with foreign policy experience. Finally, Joe Scarborough made the case for Chris Christie, as a tough, reliable campaigner: someone who is “not going to embarrass you and chances are pretty good he’s going to embarrass the other side.”

[So you are on record for being more concerned for your own safety than the lives of the unborn?]

But to answer your dumb question, yes, I care more about my life, the life of my kids, the life of my grandkids, and other family and friends that are at risk of a either a Muslim invasion, or nuclear attack.

If you can live with such consequences in your own life more than the choices and consequences that will fall on someone else, than if Flynn is chosen, feel free to stay home, yet be sure to accept the consequences if Hillary wins...

[That has got to be the stupidest response I have ever hear on social media...]

5 million babies have been murdered in America and you want to support a military man whose social military objective is to continue the slaughter?

You, sir, are Mr. Stupid.

Good point, but could Trump be looking at the rally as a final road test for Pence?

I despise Christie for a host of reasons. His support of Trump might prove he’s not all bad, but he’s too bad for me to support. And Flynn supports the modern of babies, so that disqualifies him. Give me Blackburn or Sessions.

None of the above

Marsha Blackburn. The best choice.

How many abortions has Flynn performed?
How many pro-abortion laws has he written or voted on in Congress?
How many to you think he will write/vote on when Veep? (<- The answer to this question is NONE).

Sorry, but the threat of extinction to our American way of life is more important to America as a whole than quibbling over a matter that is handled by the STATES, NOT the federal government!!!

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the 10th Amendment.

What will your destiny be as you watch your own loved one brtually assaulted or killed from a brutal terrorist?
Or watching part of our country vaporize in a nuclear explosion??

The VP is next in line to be President. You can look to Illinois as an example when the electorate goes for a Governor who is a fiscal conservative and pro-abortion all the way.

God judges nations, states by its leaders. There is no budget, Illinois’ credit rating keeps falling, crime is up, social diseases are up, taxes are up....

There are other candidates more suited for the job than FLYNN.

Good points about Christie.

We do need someone who can really take the fight to the other camp.

Pence may look like a RINO to you and others but I live in Southern Indiana and our two main bridges to Louisville the newest was opened in 1962 and the other which is said to not be passing the safety code. We have battled with the people in the East end of Louisville for over 40 years about having a bridge on their SPECIAL GROUND and Pence and Matt Beven have given us a bridge in downtown Louisville this year!!

The bridge in the East end is to be opened the end of this year. The delay is because they have to build a tunnel through some SO CALLED Conservational ground which is very questionable but doable for our governors to make happen.

Many of our past governors were ALL talk but Governor Pence made it happen for all of the many people living in Indiana and working in Kentucky and the same Ky working in INDIANA. Our safety finally became important to Governor Pence. The other issues mean noting if we all couldn't work.

If you are going to hire a military person for VP, might as well pick Allen West. Solves a multitude of problems.

I appreciate your knowledge of the Bible and dedication to your faith, but there are plenty of other faiths represented in our nation that people subscribe to.

Again, if Flynn is a deal breaker, feel free to stay home. But accept the consequences of a Hillary presidency if you do. Which would be MUCH worse than a Flynn V-Presidency.

You’re trivializing mass murder.

Congratulations.

I find myself like you pointing to people we think would do a good job on military issues, religious issues, laws issues you name it. I think you and I fail to understand if the person is able to work with Donald, carry out his goals, can actually get things done and I respect Donald to know and be a good judge to these answers.

Someone looks and appears to have leadership qualities but DO THEY? Too often we are FOOLED BY TALKERS and not a DOER as Donald.

How about the mass murder when the US is annihlated by our enemies because a Democratic President and Congress allowed it to happen??

Christie brings nothing to the ticket, there would be better “rewards” for him somewhere in a Trump admin, but putting him on the ticket won’t help there to be one.
