Agreed.

[Reverend Wright]

Yes. Cotton is a hero to Never-Trumpers. And there is probably a reason for that.

[Irish Eyes]

I have only one criterion: That the person Trump picks scares Deep State even more than Trump does.

That sounds like Vivek Ramaswamy

[Georgia Girl 2]

Raise your hand if you dont realize Trump is just playing everyone. 🙄

[Irish Eyes]

Hoping for Doug Burgum

[Reverend Wright]

LOL !

As some Groyper said of Rishi Sunak: “He shouldn’t be Prime Minister of Britain because he is not White, and not a Christian.”

[GSWarrior]

Trump is a man of peace. Why would he select Tom Cotton? A hard No on Tom Cotton.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

I’m not voting for Cotton anymore than if Satan himself is on the ticket, because it’s essentially the same thing.

[MinorityRepublican]

How about Michael Flynn? He went through hell for Trump. He is a proven loyalist. He has military experience, which is a bonus.

[El Cid]

Cotton is part of the Neocon war machine. Hard Pass.

I don't know too much about Cotton, but the little I know - I concur with your assessment. He seems like a Big State supporter.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Cotton’s a good man but probably doesn’t pick him up any additional support.

I honestly cannot imagine anyone deciding to vote for Trump based on whoever he picks as his VP.

IMHO Trump needs to make his decision based solely on (1) who would be qualified to become President if something were to happen to Trump, (2) who would be a legitimate conservative and not a RINO, and (3) who would be loyal and work with Trump to achieve the same conservative goals and not stab him in the back.

“How about Michael Flynn?”

General Flynn is the best choice in my opinion.

[Samurai_Jack]

Sec Def, not VP

[ridesthemiles]

PRETTY SURE THAT VIVEK IS NOT NATURAL BORN CITIZEN

[Sirius Lee]

NO SENATORS!

[BipolarBob]

Cotton is my Senator. I don’t pick Cotton. No to VP.

[thegagline]

Good catch! Why does Trump keep gravitating towards deep staters?

[Hot Tabasco]

Vance served in the Marines and is not a neocon.

I never said he was

[MinorityRepublican]

General Flynn is the best choice in my opinion.

Let's assume Trump wins. Every American city will riot. U.S. Congress will say that Donald Trump does not have legitimacy.

[Reverend Wright]

Trump’s flaw is to give too much credit to people who are deferential and flatter him.

Deep State / Swamp types have built their whole careers on flattering and ingratiating themselves with more powerful elements with the Regime. So they are good at flattery / sucking up.

And Trump falls for it.
