Trump’s VP Pick Prediction
Scott Adams' Blog Dilbert ^ | Posted May 17th, 2016 | Scott Adams

Posted on 05/17/2016 9:15:26 AM PDT by GilGil

As I said, predicting a VP choice is nearly impossible until the last minute because the situation is fluid. A candidate might need some help in a key state, based on current polling. Or the opponent might open up a new line of attack that needs a defense. A lot can change in a few weeks.

But as of today, and according to the Master Persuader filter, I put the odds at 90% than Trump picks Brown as his running mate.

Well, the argument up until now is that Trump hands the whitehut to klintoon all by his lonesome.

The benefit of Newt as VP is not to succeed Trump, but to clinch the victory. Newt knows how to deal with the media, more effectively than any of the others being mentioned.

An elder statesman certainly can be Vice President. A White House Chief Of Staff should be much younger, because the actual duties would be more demanding--energy-wise.

Jan Brewer

Not my choice to make of course, but I recall at least one instance of her absolute cave, glaringly and surprisingly to Political Correctness, I think it was unrelated to Immigration, should have been a home run, but it was disappointing...can't recall it just now...

"Where does the Constitution define a Natural Born Citizen?"

The Constitution is not a dictionary. Natural Law defines a natural born Citizen.

Educate yourself:

NATURAL LAW, NATURAL RIGHTS AND AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISM

Loved and supported his dad against the phony military hero McCain in '08 but he couldn't get arrested!

Media hated true conservatives then as now!

Another advantage - - Newt understands Trump's intellect... and how it works.

Trump can do the impossible - AND explain it in a way an unemployed coal miner can understand and relate to... That's magic.

Lot's of high IQ success types like Trump can talk to fellow elites (real elites) but they can't talk to ordinary citizens. Trump can do both... and Newt's figured it out...

Newt could handle Chief of Staff responsibilities and not break a sweat. He and Trump would hold court at 9:00 am every morning and write legislation to eliminate a half dozen cabinet departments, agencies, and anything else that’s destructive to our Republic. Newt would see to it that Congress signs off on the bills and Trump stamps his signature of approval. Done.

I know. Hunter Sr. Authored The Fence Act 2006. Jr can carry the torch for further immigration law enforcement and work with Trump legislating building the Wall.

There are many competent conservatives who would (1) do the VP job well and (2) help the ticket win.

In varying degrees of the two criteria - a few that come to mind:
Newt, Jindal, Allen West, Suzana Martinez, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Mia Love, Joni Ernst, Condi...

I don’t think Trump panders. I think he will select the most qualified person to be president in an vacation of the office by Trump. There is only one man that is that qualified and that is Newt.
Who is Brown? Is that the new Senator from South Carolina. I’m sorry but that is plain nuts. He is a nice guy but hardly presidential timber.

Natural Law defines a natural born Citizen.

And where is that in the Constitution?

Don't be an idiot.

This is wild. But I do believe the then Captain Mattis was my bunkmate aboard the USS Okinawa.

His face hasn't really changed. Thanks for posting.

I was a Naval Gunfire Liaison Officer serving with 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Division.
