Makes no sense - Huckabee thinks we should welcome illegal aliens to atone for slavery.
NO! Huckerster!
Trump/Palin or Trump/Cruz.
My guess is Trump/GOPe. GOPe to help unite the party. Maybe Kasick (Ohio), Rubio (Florida), Christy (New Jersey). All make sense since they are govs of battlegound states, however I do not think Trump will need help winning Florida so I rule Rubio out. I am thinking a women as VP, for help with the womens’ vote. So my guess is Trump/GOPe gov or Trump/woman GOPer. I like Huck but he does not help the ticket.
I suspect that bridge was burned from the trumpside.
It would be better than a Cruz/Beck ticket.
I am obviously Pro Cruz.. Just commenting on what I see.
Just a guess... If Trump does end up getting the nomination. I could easily see him going for something like a Trump/Scott Ticket
Florida Gov. Rick Scott Plans To Make Endorsement Before The Primary

Would that change my mind about him... No..
That is the whole point of the conservative veep pick -- because you get the president you want in 8 years. The GOPe cheated us with the Cheney pick.
Nope.
Adds nothing and brings lots of baggage.
Right now I’m not sure who makes a good VP.
NO!!!
I don’t like Trump....but would accept if inevitable.
VP Rubio for the Florida factor and a larger support base.
We’re all pretty tired of Huck’s disruptions.
I’m a Cruz supporter but he’s gaining more negatives than can be sustained.
Hey Laz, tell us what you really think. lol!
Just like the outcry if it was the Huckster or anybody else. There is always going to be outcry. There was outcry with Reagans VP. You'll never avoid that.
not to mention the fact that he’d probably lose a sizeable percentage of his support from Democrats over it.
I doubt it would be that sizeable. Seriously, how often do you see a candidates following DROP after the running mate joins? I mean Joe Biden is a laughing stock, gaff machine.
I doubt Trump has any hard core leftists following him right now. Someone like Palin isn't going to push them away.
I mean let's look at this seriously. Why EXACTLY is Trump leading? He's a fire brand. He's going against the establishment. The middle/left are fed up with Obama and his crap.
What EXACTLY is the draw for independents and slightly left people? Besides the cult of personality following.
What points has Trump raised that draws these democrats, that Palin would instantly turn off?
I say the very points that Trump uses to draw people, Palin doubles down on them.
The more the enemedia attacks, the higher Trump polls. Palin would be another double down, for media attacks.
My first hope was Trump/Cruz, but thinking with the recent back and forth, Cruz is a no go for VP. (Supreme Court - absolutely)
I like Sen. Sessions as VP - a solid choice.
I’m starting to prefer Allen West as VP. Makes Democrat heads explode 3 ways:
1. Skin Color (I know irrelevant to FReepers, but to libs, identity is everything). If Trump even gets 15% of the black vote, election will be a YUUUGE landslide. Would like to see a Youtube video with Allen West between Diamond and Silk doing their thing - totally viral video!
2. Combat veteran (strengthens military bona fides and also likely can bolster the taking care of veterans thrust).
3. His combat experiences fighting jihadists. (He can totally dismantle the “religion of peace” argument - would relish seeing him obliterate his opponent during the VP debate).
Since West has 3 key advantages where I think Sessions key advantage is immigration (yuuuge to be sure, but I think Trump has that argument well in hand), I think West is Best for VP!
Wrong choice for both positions.
Hey it is a NOTHING job. He's cut out for the meaningless dribble.
Don’t Bogart that joint, my friend.
No Huckleberry!
Not often that “lightness” and “Huckabee” appear in the same sentence.
