A top military adviser to Donald Trump is being vetted to be his running mate, The Post has learned.

The outspoken and brash Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn — who was forced out of his post by the Obama administration in 2014 after pointing out the rising global jihadist threat — has already briefed the Republican presidential candidate on several occasions and is in close touch with high levels of Trump’s staff.

See. Trump has the media looking over there at the suits, while he is actually interested in brass.

NO one outguesses TRUMP. Doubtless, he and Manafort already know who their man is. We need a half dozen states to win this thing.

Flynn has ABSOLUTELY NO ENEMIES in any state. ((Only Applause))

I’ve heard speculation about him before.

I think he would be a good choice.

You’ve been trolling this James Comey BS all over the forum but I have no idea what you are talking about and I’m probably not alone.

For everyone thinking Flynn will be a good pick, watch him in action here;

He tried to defend the war on radical islam and gets his clock cleaned, over and over by an Al Jazera guy. It is embarrassing. Flynn is not ready for prime time and brings tons of prisoner torture baggage with him.

That isn't helpful. The topic of the thread is the possibility of General Michael Flynn being Trump's VP.

How about we stick with that?

I haven't watched the video yet, but 'prison torture' is a negative?

I don't think so.

Water boarding is too good for most of our enemies, we need to do something stronger. (Donald Trump)

""He has already briefed the Republican presidential candidate on several occasions and is in close touch with high levels of Trump’s staff.""

Be very confident, many of those who were thrown under the bus by the Clinton's over the decades, are now speaking to those in the Trump organization.☺

Sure IF you can defend it properly.

If your facing an MSM attack dog and get flustered and tongue-tied and play “plausible deniability” then you’re dead in the water, like Flynn is in the video.

What kind of prisoner torture? I am in favor of prisoner torture when the prisoners are mohammedan terrorists. Ie devout mohammedans trying to turn the world into a Caliphate.

So some mohammedan freak reporter argues with him. So freaking what. I don’t want an orator, I want someone who knows what Islam is and isn’t afraid to say it or fight it.

If he is a serious prospect for government service perhaps Secretary of Defense is a better fit.
