Former Trump adviser reveals who 'nobody is talking about' that you should 'keep an eye on' for VP
Business Insider ^ | 06/25/2016 | Oliver Darcy

A former adviser to Donald Trump floated Utah Rep. Mia Love on Friday as a possible pick for vice president on the real-estate mogul's ticket.

"If you were to name some people that nobody is talking about, to keep an eye on with the vice president [pick] … who would you say we should keep our eye on?" asked Brian Kilmeade, a Fox News Radio host.

The former adviser, Michael Caputo, prefaced his answer by saying he was "never in those discussions" because they were "above my pay grade."

That said, he provided a couple names.

"The two people I think you should look at - and these are unorthodox. First is Mia Love, the congresswoman, somebody who is an African-American leader with really bright ideas and an ability to communicate," Caputo said.

"Is there a relationship there?" Kilmeade asked.

"There is. People are looking at her. There is an incredible opportunity for the Republican Party," Caputo replied.

I sent certified letters to Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Don Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Corey Lewandowski, and Trump's attorneys- Manatt, Phelps, and Phillips, with a suggestion for VP. Out of the seven letters, only one was returned to me, from the attorneys, so I'm hoping that the six that were not returned found their intended targets.

My VP pick is Peter Gosselin Fitzgerald. The former one term GOP US Senator for Illinois.

Terrible idea. A first-term Congresswoman who is basically a novelty as a black, female Republican.

I still go with Gov. Fallin and Sen. Sessions as the two best names so far.

Blackburn an interesting choice. I recently liked her on Facebook . There is an army of left wing clowns attacking everything she puts up. She must be doing something right.

“Fitzgerald opposed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge throughout his tenure in the US Senate and broke with conservative colleagues. Fitzgerald also supported “reasonable” gun control, immigration reform and the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform legislation.”

This is just one of those things for me...there is not a nation in the world that would not take advantage of the resources we have in ANWR; the Alaskan Pipeline has been running at 50% capacity for years; I don’t care what the price of oil is at any given time; anybody that votes against it is out in my book.

Yes Nehlen and Ward would be two improvements to the House and Senate.

Mia turned into a Boehner stooge. Sorry, she’s not fooling me again.
