General Forced Out by Obama Is On Trump’s VP Short List
nypost.com ^ | July 5, 2016

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.

Irrelevant and immaterial. And it’s no excuse for your snarking off at another FReeper for something that is totally unrelated to the topic at hand.

Do you have anything constructive to contribute here?

Or former Secretary’s of State that are hiding behind their name.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Sounds like someone’s chickens may be coming home to roost after all.

As he should be. His plan will take longer than four years to complete. Trump has groomed his children to take over his empire, and I believe he will be grooming his successor to finish the fight to save America.

I watched the 1st segment, 23 minutes. Is what you are referring to in this segment?

If so, I disagree with your interpretation of the dialogue. Flynn was precise in his
answers, and did not evade any questions, and it appeared Mahti was satisfied that
the question was answered.

But I want to be clear about who Trump is putting in, whether for VP or SecDef or
SecState etal. On another thread I had asked FReepers if they knew of any baggage
attached to Flynn, so I encourage us all to drill down on these potential candidates.
But we must be specific in characterizing their flaws.

They have to be out of the military for 10+ years.

Not that the law matters anymore.

I’ve been saying Rand, but after today I think it might be Michael Flynn

Flynn may indeed be the dark horse on the VP list.

given all the rumors about who’s on Trump’s “short list”, I’d hate to have to look at Trump’s “long list”. Heck, I heard that even me, catnipman, is on the “long list”.

Actually, it is probably better she was not indicted. Imagine the screams of unfair and how the election was tipped to Trump’s favor. No, instead she will have to withstand months of ads with the FBI Director’s words being played over and over and over. Heck, even the media is calling her “Crooked Hillary” when they repeat anything Trump says or tweets. It must kill them to report on it and repeat the name...and she will be schlonged in the end.

VP’s rarely are elected to the Presidency. It is NOT a consideration.

His mistake was making that interview. If you take what he says and ignore the spinning and insanity of the interviewer, he did quite well, in my opinion.

?? Torturing former SoS? I think proper trial for treason and then appropriate punishment, all nice and tidy.
