Trump went out of his way to praise Carson and Kasich in some of his recent speeches/interviews. Inparticular, it was unusual to hear him talk about Kasich since his name is not coming up naturally as much as Carson’s is.
Trump wants only to win. Most of his positions have been shifted in recent years to be more in line with what either the general public or the primary voters generally like according to polls. He is not going to pick a V.P. candidate because of that candidate’s ideology or if that person could be useful in his administration. He is going to pick the candidate on pure electoral strategy. He himself earlier this year brought up how a good V.P. candidate would help him electorally when discussing potential V.P. picks. Which is why you can bank on the fact that his V.P. will either be a non-white-male or someone from Ohio or Florida.
Egad!
Prolly right.
Nonetheless, it will be extremely difficult for me to stomach someone from Florida or Ohio, though obviously this would be a good strategy for a person who wants to win.
I very much want to vote for Trump, and I’ll also vote for Cruz, so we will see what happens. If either of those guys are at the top of the ticket, I suspect I won’t let the VP choice spoil it for me.
But man do I ever hate Rubio and Kasich. Both of them make me ill.
If Trump picks Kasich as his VP running mate, I WILL NOT BE VOTING.
