After review of the candidates I am back to my original thought that Dr Ben Carson would be best for VP.
My initial thought the best selection would be Rubio but after his latest tantrum when he was excluded from the VP selection confirms he is not ready for the big show.
I still love the Trump and Christie stage presence but I am not yet convinced it will help gain votes.
I know some people still want a women but introducing a new face brings in the unknown and pushes Melania off the stage.
And there is Trump and my take is he wants someone he can work with, get along with, and trust.
He said he wanted a go between for congress interestingly enough Dr Carson is being given the chance of working with Paul Ryan.
And even though when Trump and Carson are together you can see the personality contrast, but when Dr Carson is on his own talking Trump he is a very good advocate for Trump.
Dr Carson has a unique way of disarming his opponents and softening their tone.
I can see it know Vice President Carson holds his weekly fireside counseling session for a dysfunctional America.
Vote Trump
Comes down to Christie, Palin, Martinez, Rubio and Gingrich, any one of them would help the ticket so I don’t really care which one it is, although I would love to see Palin because it means more SNL shows that don’t suck.
Carson will have a role to play, it may not be in this century.
What exactly do you love about it? Christie looks like a beat-down dog on stage with Trump.....
I really don’t think that Pope Francis is eligible for our VP....Besides, that’s a hell of a demotion.
Absolutely NOT
Trump needs Gingrich for another reason: life insurance. Gingrich is one of the few politicians (Cruz may be another) that libs fear more than Trump.
No to Carson as VP. If the POTUS doesn’t have an insider’s understanding of how Washington actually works, then the VP should.
No.
“My initial thought the best selection would be Rubio........”
When the writer suggested Rubio might have been a good choice, I stopped reading right there. Dr. Carson, although one of the smartest and most likeable of the original candidates is NOT the choice for VP we need right now, he’d make a great Surgeon General.
IMO Trump will make a good president but his lack of inner governmental workings will limit him initially, hence he will need someone with government experience, “hear say” has it “Newt” is on his short list.
Hang your head in shame for the Wy alone.
I could not vote for Trump if he picked Carson. Would not vote for a Rat either but coould not vote for Trump.
NEVER happen. Ridiculous on it’s face. Trump has said over and over again that it will be an experienced POLITICIAN.
Not Cruz or Rubio either, they are ineligible.
Marsha Blackburn is my number one choice.
She supports Trump.
She is as conservative as they come.
She is a (lower level) member of Republican leadership.
She is in a safe Congressional district.
She is an attractive mature woman
She has said she would accept the position if asked.
She is Pro Life
She is a Christian (Presbyterian like Trump).
Marsha Blackburn on the issues: IMPRESSIVE!

No. Ben’s a nice guy, but too meek and uninformed.
We need Newt!!
He said he’ll choose someone with gov’t experience.
Food for thought...............
