Trump said he wanted a mixed ticket - mixed as in an established politician. It is the nature of the American political system.

Maybe we should re-think the branches of govt - go with a parliamentary system - I don't think the binary choice works anymore to satisfy the political landscape of today. Some sort of coalition govt maybe be the best way to optimize the electorate's views and passions. Just musing out-load.

Diversionary tactic.

Tells me they have a stealth candidate, and they’re trying to keep the commentariat off balance.

So, throw out all the names that you have heard and speculate on those you haven’t heard.

Blame Trump, not “advisers”, if he screws up.

Float a bunch of moderates, RINO’s, and a couple of conservative Dems, to keep the MSM guessing and off his back, then slam dunk the MSM, and RINO’s with a younger conservative, or an attack dog conservative.

Well we’ll have to wait a few years for that. Hopefully not long.
