I agree on both JK for VP and CC for AG

Florida seems to like Trump. Ohio will be swing state huge. Trump will need it to win.

I don't think that will happen because they are both from the tri-state area and Christie brings no balance to the ticket.

First consideration for the nomination may mean that Trump has to select a VEEP whose delegates can put him over the 1237 mark (probably Kasich...not Cruz).

Second may mean a VEEP who can get the GOPe off his back and bring unity to the party.

Next will be a VEEP who can bring votes from needed areas of the country and/or blocs of voters not already drawn to Trump.

Lastly, if Trump is certain he can win the General...he will select a VEEP who brings strength to his management style and an ability to advise him on matters political (including dealing with Congress).

Open borders, pro-Islam, anti-Second Amendment. The New York Post doesn’t see any problem with CC and Trump. The new GOP, same as the old GOP.

I like Christie as AG.
I think Trump will surprise with his veep choice, but I do like the Sessions idea as VP.

Oh no. Two Streets running are not going to get the prissies. Need a jebish type just not Jeb himself.

Freepers think hard.

Session will not help in a general election. CC has street smarts and toughness. CC has great TV present. As VP he would be tough and he is the type not to back down from a fight.

Not a good idea. I’m not a big Christie fan, I can see where he might have value in the administration, but VP? No. Too much brash northeastern. He’ll remind all the southerners why they dislike them, lol.

Chris Christie is a parasite.

Don’t let him latch on and suck blood, and he’ll shrivel up and go away.

Well maybe he won’t shrivel up, but he will go away.

It will be interesting to see how Trump does in Pa. and how it changes his thinking on VP.

If Trump goes into the general with decent polling here and Ohio, and a plus margin in Florida, you can see the thing coming together.

And the thought of Cruz in the SCOTUS is a terrible idea as well. He just needs to move on to kstreet or blazetv.

Doubtful two 70-year olds are going to be on the same ticket.

Better question could be, who would Jeff Sessions pick to be Trump’s VP?

Agree. The only purpose of a VP is to help get the ticket elected. Afterwards, the office is defined by the man, not the reverse.

Christie could help Trump win a rust belt state or two, which he will need to make up for possible losses in Hispanic heavy states.

Session would be good to have in the administration, but he brings nothing to the electoral strategy. He might boost a winning margin in an already red state, but who cares?

Swing state victories are all that matters.

Trump has proven himself in the south. CC would not be a minus there. In the general we need NY,NJ and Pa. CC only drawback is he is a Cowboy fan. Though could help in Texas.

That’s why I like Christie as AG. He’s tough.
I get your point, but I don’t think 2 East coast guys help in the general.
