As anyone who reads my posts knows I am a big Marsha Blackburn fan. Not quite a nobody, she’s on TV fairly often.

What are we.... better yet, what is Trump looking for in a VP.

It isn’t and shouldn’t be who can bring along their state that I need. Only a minor consideration.

Who would be the best person to replace me and is ready to be president on day one. Bull$hit. This is like the excuse for quitting.... “I’ve decided to spend more time with my family” or “It’s for the children”. Again, a minor consideration.

It need not be someone instantly recognizable to everyone. NO ONE votes for president based on their VP pick. Number ONE is “do no harm”. Number two, can they help?

This no traditional election year! Almost everyone is treating this election as if it weren’t historic, it IS! We are talking Donald Trump here. Not your conventional candidate.

Trump has said, from the beginning, that he will pick someone with legislative experience to help him with Congress. He has not wavered from this position. In my mind that is someone from the House of Representatives where most bills, and ALL spending bills must start.

Marsha Blackburn has experience in House leadership positions. She’s been a Congressman for over 12 years. She’s tough. She is as conservative as you can get. She is a WOMAN! Trump MUST choose a woman! This year of all years, this candidate has dug himself a hole with women voters and MUST repair some of the damage and he is running against a woman.

Marsha considered running for president herself this cycle. She has said early on that if asked, she would accept being Trump’s running mate. She would compliment Trump not overshadow him as say a Newt Gingrich or Chris Christie would.

I think Marsha Blackburn is the perfect choice for Trump.

Just because she has been a member of congress for 12 years does not mean she is ready and able to lead the country. She’s not. The BS that she should be picked BECAUSE she is a woman is just that, BS. We’ve seen enough affirmative action candidates from Democrats. Seriously, are Republicans so desperate as to pick an affirmative action candidate? Does picking someone based on gender now suffice as a conservative value? I sure hope not.
