The 5 people most likely to be Donald Trump’s vice president
Washington Post ^ | 4/29 | Chris Cilliza

Posted on 04/29/2016 12:55:57 PM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

Which begs the question: Who is he going to pick as his vice presidential nominee?

The short answer: No one knows. Trump relishes being unpredictable so trying to game out how this most unconventional of politicians will make his mind up is a bit of a guessing game. Add to that the fact that Trump's inner circle remains, largely, devoid of establishment types and you quickly get into a situation where the people talking don't know much and the people who do know aren't talking.

I was just stating who I thing Trump might pick. I was not touting. I am not a Trumpster by the way.

“Sessions adds absolutely nothing to the ticket and only further cements the notion that the Trump faction is a bunch of old white racists.

Sessions is a great guy but a HORRIBLE VP choice. Horrible.”

What?? Sessions would be a great choice. The only drawback for Sessions would be his age. He’d be a much better choice than GOPe losers such as Kasich and Rubio.

Old white racists? Are you accusing Senator Sessions of being a racist? If you are, then you are hopelessly ignorant.

Or are you an Anti-Southern bigot who assumes that any white Southern man is racist?

Trump specifically said someone who shares his views. I particularly remember reading what he said his requirements were in a VP.

Almost no one could be further from his views than Kasich; there are multiple dozens of potential VPs with deecee experience and Kasich has not a thing else to recommend him.

Trump doesn’t need a dickwad to win.

No, I’m looking at it from a higher altitude is all.

Perception is everything in politics.

Re-read what I said about Sessions.

Easy there bucko.

I never suggested I don't know who he is, or that I remotely like him, or that he shares much with Trump.

You can complain til the cows come home, but he's going to be on the short list for the reasons I said.

Doesn't mean he'll get it. A lot depends on who else is around, what they offer to a ticket that can win, and how things shake up, yes?

Rand hates Trump. He’s a globalist snob.

Don’t be surprised if she selects Cuomo.

HE was HUD sec. under Bubba, he helped her in 2000, and has been an integral player in her team. He’s as corrupt as she is.

I put him as my odds on favorite. He’s younger, a democRAT/communist to the core, a gun hater, faggot friendly, and many other things.

Killery could go different, but the view from the cheap seats it looks like Andy.

Nah...not Rand Paul.

I don’t think it will be any of the former candidates.

At one time I thought it was going to be Trump/Cruz but I think that is done.

I keep thinking an Allan West type, if not Allan West himself. Definitely x-military, maybe politician, but most likely not.

I would scratch Kasich at this point; not going to happen.
