Donald Trump's Twitter May Shed Light On VP Search
CNN ^ | June 9, 2016

Posted on 06/09/2016 11:04:55 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Donald Trump took to twitter Wednesday night and with the push of a button, perhaps shed some light on his VP choice -- just as his advisers hoped he wouldn't do.

Just before 10 p.m., Trump retweeted a supporter who said: "@KathyCeurter: @realDonaldTrump please Mr.Trump make @SenatorJeffSessions your VP. He is a perfect running mate.' He is a great guy!"

He did not say he would not tweet, just retweet a tweet.

pull in millions of new voters

I hope so, but contrary to what a lot of FReepers are saying, I believe that Trump will need to work hard to overcome whatever tricks the Rats and the media have planned to enable them to abscond with the White House again. They will stop at nothing. Trump isn't going to stroll into a victory this fall.

I hope one of those 2 miliary guys is Lt. Col Allen West.

Chop off at the knees that “Trump is racist” talk and out forth a fine leader and communicator.

Newt for unelected Chief of Staff, provide expert advice behind the scenes about how the Washington cesspool operates.

I think it’s Mathis and McChrystal. The VP should be a retired general. Hillary will try to make the election about foreign policy.

Just picture Trump/Mathis vs Hillary/Pocahontas. It’s game over.

Mixed feelings. Sessions would make a very good vice-president. But Trump is also going to need allies in the Senate to make sure things move through in a timely manner and ensure McConnell doesn’t drag his feet.

You don't think that Senator Ted Cruz of Texas-Canada-Cuba would want to work for the Trump agenda?

"This will suck up some of the oxygen for a day or two."

Give them something to talk about even if it is BS.

Reminds me of the Hay Day of Howard Stern on WNBC, with such outrageous things as Mrs Flemski ( old lady calling in with dirty jokes ) and Lesbian Dial A Date.

Outrageous? Yes, Uncouth? sure. But everybody at the water cooler at work was talking about it the next day, and we were barely in the range of WNBC and could only do so on the drive home as the sun went down, it was probably worse the closer you got to NY!

It is all about mentioning Trump, the brand... Man he is even better at this than Gene Simmons....

Now back to VP's, I still say it will be Rand Paul and snag all the Bernsters and it will have Kim Jung Shrill reaching for the Vodka.

Notice no one has mentioned Rand sometimes the action is where their is no action at all...

Sessions is the only person who won’t stab Trump in the back.

Marsha’s a horrible pick.

And being a woman, I’d like to say that picking a woman VP isn’t gonna make women vote for Trump if they weren’t going to already. Why men think we vote for a woman just because she’s a woman is beyond me. Only ones that have a shot at that are the libs.

I personally think that there is about zero chance that Trump will choose Cruz. There is too much bad blood between them, and I don’t think Trump would pick someone who has still not endorsed him.

I actually think a real possibility is Rick Santorum. Trump has spoken positively about Santorum in the past and said that he liked his book, Blue Collar Conservatives. When Santorum endorsed Trump, he noted that Trump had specifically called him to ask for his endorsement. It was clearly one that Trump wanted. Pennsylvania appears to have the potential to be the most important state this election cycle. Even if Santorum could only help him a little in that state, he might be worth choosing. He should quell some of the fears from social conservatives about Trump, while he and Trump see eye-to-eye on trying to appeal to working-class Dems and Indies.

Mike Huckabee and Rick Perry might also be real considerations for Trump among his former opponents, although I would be perfectly happy with Jeff Sessions (though I just wish he were younger and from a state Trump wasn’t going to win overwhelmingly anyway).

“”Rather have Sessions in the Senate than have him occupying a ceremonial position.””

Absolutely!
