-—”I would love to see Trump announce Col. Allen West as his running mate. He has a military background, which Trump said was important, he has political experience, which Trump also said was important. Liberal heads all over America would be exploding if he picked West.”
I agree, but I read somewhere that Trump had differences with Allen West on the Iraq war. Anybody else heard more on that. I’m just surprised Allen West doesn’t appear to be in the running.
Choosing Allen West would do two HUGE things:
1) Would serve to placate the crab pot of the minority vote. They can’t say he’s a racist as easily.
2) Would serve to placate the Republican party mainstream
Choosing Allen West would kill 2 birds with one stone and each of those groups represent a HUGE amount of voters.
It wouldn’t do either of these.
The racists would just jump to their Uncle Tom, porch mode instantly.
GOPe doesn’t like West.
