General Michael Flynn is now my preferred VP, followed by Congressman Duncan D. Hunter of California (son of Duncan).
Duncan Hunter Jr. was my pick too until a FReeper pointed out to me he’s got a bit of a scandal back home w/ campaign money. I couldn’t believe it and looked it up. I’ll post a link and see what you think.
Isn’t Flynn a registered democrat? ?
I’m right there with you on Flynn!!!
Robert Costa has an article out today saying General Flynn may an the inside track. He is described as outspoken and brash—sound familiar!! Apparently, he was forced out by Obama and I checked Wikipedia and it says his party affiliation is democrat!! Crossover appeal, perhaps???
BTW, Hunter had been my first choice until he recently complained about growing tired of having to explain/defend Trump.
Newt would be better suited for Chief of Staff.
General Flynn is a registered Democrat. I think that’s what we are trying to get rid of not perpetuate. Certainly not in the Republican VP slot. Its a non starter.
I don’t know about the other candidates being vetted but Flynn has said that he is very concerned with some of Trump’s more controversial statements (waterboarding, “taking out” terrorist’s families etc) and always stressing to him the importance of a president being more precise in his use of language. So we will see next week but that would definitely have to be one of the requirements of accepting. It would be just the ticket to show he is deadly serious in a disciplined way about doing this.
