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.

I’m looking into Tom Cotton.
He’s strong! Listen to him on Guantanamo.

“Who is Brown? Is that the new Senator from South Carolina.”

No, Scott Brown was a one-term Senator from Mass of two $hitts. He was unseated by Fauxahontas Warren.

Oh yes. Nice guy. He might make a good assistant for Newt. VP is way over his pay grade.

“A lot of women vote for a candidate purely on looks.”

Yeah, just look at JFK. He was Hillary in a suit when it comes to having done anything as a Senator. Plus, he and his brother Bobby were banking Marilyn Monroe like a screen door in a hurricane and it didn’t seem to bother anyone.

Can’t have two from the same state. Now if the judge lives in CT or NJ...OK

Don’t be surprised if it’s Pence. Even Daniels may be under consideration. Either them or Newt.

“I miss the old FR when the site was dominated by conscientious conservatives.”

You mean all those folks who didn’t really care if anything got done in government, so long as they could be bull$hitted into thinking that the people they were voting for were claiming to be “conscientious conservatives?” Those people? Frankly, FR is a better place with people who have the abiltiy to think and reason.

“Walker is a much better pick.
Trump needs a strong midwest presence.”

Yeah, and he could “deliver Wisconsin, not” Besides, Walker is a “looser.”

Experience in shooting a rattlesnake with a crossbow will help in the debate against Pocahontas, if Hillary picks said “Native American”

I think Rand Paul would be good to go after libertarians and possibly millennials. Dr. Paul can articulate ideas, seems to have a similar foreign policy temperament like Trump (i.e. against nation building).

Paul being from Kentucky which has coal country and is adjacent to Ohio and West Virginia may bring some mid-west appeal.

I haven’t heard Jim DeMint’s name mentioned. He is no longer a Senator but still has experience in that chamber.

“I won’t vote for even one northeast guy.”

So I take it, you’d be happy with Hillary in order to “maintain” you marveloius “conservative principles?”

The thing is Trump has said so many times that he wants a very high energy individual as well as someone with extensive congressional experience.

Newt has extensive experience but does he have the kind of energy Trump looks for?

Another big advantage: Donald and Newt are friends. Also, Sarah Palin, who is on their same page. The wives, Melania and Callista, may also be good friends. I remember Callista telling me they talked to Sarah numerous times when Newt was running for President.

Name one US President or Vice President not born on American soil. Just One.

Oh Canada!
Non Canadian citizens are not eligible to vote. Eleanor & Rafael Cruz were interviewed in their home by two provincial election officials and swore they were Canadian citizens. They were subsequently approved by the election supervisor and included as eligible Canadian citizens on the published voting roll. This list was published in the newspapers and posted publicly throughout the precinct for 60 days prior to the election.

Make your choice: The 1960’s resident alien Cruz’s were lying to Canadian authorities and risking deportation in order to vote, or Ted’s campaign has been lying for him to deceive the electorate.

Note that the reporters questioning Canadian Cruz (two years ago) were DEFLECTED to campaign surrogates. Ted has never answered the question directly, has he? It took him 18 months to seal up his parents records and his records and to renounce his Canadian citizenship.

Ted hides his records, there’s nothing honorable or honest about him. And his father very likely eloped to Canada to evade Jim Garrison’s inquests in preparation for the Warren Commission.

The Cruz’s are not what they portend to be and this explains exactly why the Bush’s became so vested in Cruz. They have assisted his rise through the system and when all else failed, jumped financially and strategically into his campaign.
