1. Tom Cotton. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"
2. Bob Corker. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"
3. Chris Christie. No problem, good match with Trump.
4. Joni Ernst. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"
5. Newt Gingrich. Too much a loose cannon.
6. Jeff Sessions. I just don't see it.
7. Michael Flynn (retired Lt. General). No legislative experience, virtual unknown. Doesn't help.
8. Condoleezza Rice. She has already emphatically said no. Besides she doesn't bring legislative experience that Trump stated was key.
9. Rick Scott. Not impressed. No thank you.
10. Rick Perry. No way. He's already lost twice.
11. Stanley McChrystal. A nobody on national scene. No legislative experience.
12. Mike Pence. That would be about as exciting as Mondale running.
13. Martha McSally. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"
14. Marco Rubio. NO. Just simply No.
15. Jim Webb. Uh, he's not a Republican, already beat by Clinton and Sanders.
16. Scott Walker. No way. Might be fine as a governor, but folded on the national scene. Read his Twitter posts and see he is joke. Besides, Ryan and Prebius are enough Wisconsin losers for the moment.
17. Marsha Blackburn. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"
18. John Katich. Why not Jeb while we're at it. No way!
19. Rudy Giuliani. He's failed on the national scene and wouldn't bring a single vote that Trump doesn't already have. Probably would cost a few.
20. Scott Brown. Lost his Senate seat. Seems like a nice guy, maybe a cabinet role, but definitely not VP or presidential.
Sorry, most of these are nobodies, losers, and none ADD to Trump. Most would be great additions to the Trump administration but only Christy, in my opinion, is presidential material. He's the only one with real national presence combined with legislative experience, plays hardball, can negotiate, and is no doubt loyal to friend Trump.
Christy with Obama in 2012. No, thanks.
Christie wilted when he got blow back for endorsing Trump. Sessions is really the only one who has passed his audition for VP. He knows the issues inside and out and would add some beltway experience to the ticket. I would be really leary of parachuting somebody new into the nuclear warfare this campaign as become. Trump needs somebody who has been tested and passed. Sessions fits that bill. Nobody else really does outside of maybe Newt. And Newt has other issues obviously.
Christie is very weak on the 2A. IMHO this disqualifies him.
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.
Marsha Blackburn is a good conservative!
