Wow, just wow.

Flame away.

Allen West, Newt Gingrich, Marsha Blackburn, Jeff Sessions, or Scott Walker.

Never Cruz

I don’t want a woman a heart’s beat away from the presidency.
A woman is not wise or strong enough for the job.
The presidency is a man’s job.
So flame away.

Something doesn’t jibe here. None of these 5 are what could be considered part of Trump’s decades-long inner circle. More red herrings, methinks.

If he picks Christie or Little Marco I’ll have to stay home.

[Parley Baer]

Can you say red herring.

[rbbeachkid]

I’ve thought since Wisconsin that Kasich made a deal with Trump to stay in as long as Cruz did. That deal, I believe involved the VP slot. I’ve not seen anything yet to change my mind.

[tbw2]

Kasich - as gaffe-tastic as Biden, shouldn’t be considered
Cruz - don’t think they can work together, better on the Supreme Court
Palin - bad idea, over exposed from reality show, too much baggage
Rubio - tried to past amnesty for illegal aliens, heck no
Chris Christie - meh

With the ending of the caucus, it would be very interesting to see someone on FR do a big poll to tally up V.P. picks.

This list is anything but thinking outside the box. I would at least have liked to see the runner-ups from the 2012 primary on it, Gingrich and Santorum.

[higgmeister]

Oh Please, say it isn't so.

Why would he pick from losers?

[CyberAnt]

I saw Carson on F&F this morning, and he said that Rubio was not being considered.

So, the cutting-away has already begun.

I am very happy to see Cruz is first in line - because I think Trump/Cruz is a dynamite ticket.

[Rebelbase]

Trump is laying rabbit trails for the press to blunder through. Nothing more than controlling his campaign’s narrative.

Mentioning Palin will make the most liberal of heads explode on-air.

[Personal Responsibility]

Is the list 5 names long and those are the only people on it? Or is the list 20 names long and includes those names among others? A rather large distinction in the tenor and implication of the story.

Here's the thing about Sarah Palin. When people say she's radioactive, too much baggage, the SNL/Couric crap and the general excoriation from the MSM, we all have to regroup and say, "That's it, the MSM are the exact folks that attacked Sarah Palin!" You say, "Yes, I already know that, duh." But, what are people saying, Exactly what they want us to say, "She's washed up, radioactive, etc." Most of the hits were in 08, after the election in early 09 and again in the summer of 2012 when, in my mind, she was throwing feelers out about running. The MSM got wind of it at Varrrooom, they viciously attacked her. What's that old saying, "You know you're over the target when you're getting too much flak!"

Then was then, now is now. I truly believe we are in a different political universe now. Think about it, every time Trump says a supposed gaffe, or early on, "Did you hear what Trump said?" and all the pundits were aghast and said he was through. His poll number always went up! My contention Now is the Same Thing would happen if we had a Trump/Palin ticket. Again, we're in a different time and an absolutely new political universe.

The approval rating of the MSM is at an absolute all-time low. Even the lowest LoFo knows the media is just the propaganda arm of the WH and the democratic party. Congress's approval rating, that of the Uniparty, is at an all time low. Everyone is totally fed up with Congress, feels totally betrayed, especially after the 2014 elections and of course, totally po'ed at Obama. I simply don't believe the 50% approval ratings that pollsters report. It's usually NBC or CNN.

Anyway, my point is I think NOW, if Palin is VP and she is attacked it will totally backfire, people will rally around her - and Trump - and BOTH their numbers will go up.

She, IMHO, is eminently qualified to be President. C'mon people, Obama was vetted and qualified and Sarah Palin is not? She's the most vetted person on the political landscape. We're not talking about President right now, though I'm confident she could fill the shoes in a heartbeat if need be. I really feel given everything, the national populist mood, the resentment of Hillary pulling the woman card - that's her whole platform, that and abortion - I think Sarah Palin would be the perfect juxtaposition to Hillary. There she is, a competent former Governor of a state, great wife and mother, successful businesswoman, God fearing, 2nd Amendment believing beautiful woman - everything the left hates.

I still think the whole country is so angry and ticked off that they would go absolutely WILD if Trump announced Sarah Palin as his VP Pick. Trump's poll numbers would go through the roof, and yes, he hasn't even started on Hillary yet. Also, keep in mind, Hillary is so unpopular, as soon as she starts dumping on Palin, most Patriotic Americans will get madder yet, and then what? You guessed it, Trump/Palin's Numbers would Go Up!

I hate to sound like one of our favorite talk show hosts, but don't doubt me on this. : ) Plus, you know you want to see all the pundits with exploding heads on camera. Can't you see Chrissie, Steponallofus, you name em'. It'll be grab the popcorn every day starting with they'll be aghast, "That's it for Trump, How could he?, I'm appalled, his numbers will drop, Hillary's sure to win now," blah, blah and then their numbers, Trump/Palin go sky high.

Totally Rebel against the MSM! Say YES to:

Trump/Palin 2016!

Mr. Donald Trump, think of the possibilities. All patriotic Americans and Independents will back Trump/Palin plus, a majority of the Real Women of America. They're from sea to shining sea! Both of you are outsiders and both of your are Rogue! Sounds like a winning ticket to me!

Charge the Beltway!

List or Short List????

I have no doubt he and his folks did some brainstorming and looked at a lot of folks so they could discuss potential upside/downside attributes - all this means is he is looking at all angles as he prepares to do battle for the WH.

I would imagine this "leak" by Carson is designed to help solidify what we consider "No way in hell" and along the line - it would also give him an opportunity to be politically polite with some of them while not choosing for them - "Data shows that including you on the ticket would sink our ship - but let's see what we can do to leverage your superior abilities in this area.......putz"

Having been down that lonesome road before, Sarah will decline

Her real task is to dress up the list

Kasich will be the selectee
