Condoleezza Rice, who served George W. Bush as national security adviser and then secretary of state, has zero interest in being Donald Trump’s running mate, her chief of staff said Friday.
“Dr. Rice has repeatedly said in past cycles as well as this one, she’s not interested in being vice president,” Georgia Godfrey told Yahoo News in a statement. “She’s happy at Stanford and plans to stay.”
Rice will also stay away from Cleveland, where Republicans are expected to anoint the volatile entrepreneur as their candidate. “She does not plan to go to the convention,” Godfrey said.
Since President Bush left office in January 2009, “Draft Condi for (TBD elected office)” speculation has never fully gone away. She’s the highest-profile African-American woman in the party and a former secretary of state who consistently rates well with voters. Various news outlets have recently fed that fire. In the past week, right-leaning Newsmax and Breitbart News each ran a story touting the possibility that Rice, now a professor of political science at Stanford University and fellow at its Hoover Institution, might run with Trump....

This is where Trump can gain serious traction. We know the vast majority don’t care for Bush, so Trump should tie Hillary to the Bushes as much as possible. She’s much closer to what W was than Trump would be.
The GOPe puts this out as if he was rejected by her. She was a disaster and never even under consideration but the fascist media plays along
She is over rated. And she couldn’t run in 2008. She was too excited about Obama. Look it up.
It’s official. I refuse to be Trump’s VP.
She voted for Obama
Yeah, like we want her......
If she was a white male no one would even know who she was
No affirmative action VP please
correct
she never ran for an election
Was she ever on Trump’s list? I sure hope not But if she was I’m glad she is so short-sided, for that is good for America.
Stick with football, Condi. That’s about all your good for.
Exactly. She’s a tool.
Very much so. Any alumni of the Bush administration should be viewed with suspicion.
Abortion supporter.
OK. Is every neo-con in the country, all the yo-yos Trump and his team have no interest in even talking to, much less tapping, going to step forward now and strongly deny having any interest in serving as his “warm bucket of spit”?
Good! Her politics are pretty awful
Good. Liked Condi but Donald cannot be associated with the Bush administration.
Anyway, GW wants nothing to do with him.
I respected you, GW....but now.... Trump is going to have to clean up your mess. It was NEVER a “Religion of Peace”.... you did a disservice to your country with that speech.
So baby killing is ok with you.
Don’t take it personally, it wasn’t directed at you. You posted the article so what I intended as non-specific post goes to you.
In other earth-shaking news, 867V309 has ruled out being Trump’s VP. And I don’t have no steenking job at the Ivy Plague Stamford College of Leftards.
