Who should The Donald pick for a RUNNING MATE/VEEP?
Vanity ^ | 2/24/2016 | ExSoldier

Posted on 02/24/2016 11:32:15 AM PST by ExSoldier

Let's just hypothesize a bit and say that TRUMP has it all locked up. Who should he pick for his running mate?

Keep in mind that he has already BURNED a LOT of potential bridges, even given the explosive nature of the primary system as it exists. Some stuff can be overlooked, not really meant, or said in the heat of a tense moment during say a debate. But the personal nature of Trumps attacks often leads to extended acrimony and lasting anger, not easily smoothed over. Especially since some things said, even if forgiven by the target could and would be used by the opposition to paint the ticket as being insincere and could damage the odds of victory in the general election.

Additionally, what should the criteria be for his selection? If he chooses an experienced political operative, might his "outsider" status be put into jeopardy? If he chooses someone from outside of politics does that weaken the ability to "govern?" These are tricky issues that must be navigated with all the care of getting through a minefield, because that is exactly what it is... a political minefield on which the future of the nation rests.

He needs someone who will help him win. And he needs someone who could be groomed in the position to make a good follow-up president down the line.

Rubio’s too lazy and he wouldn’t risk NBC outsiders coming up.

I like it! I want to see Donald and Megyn kiss and make up.

Better still--I'll kiss Megyn, and Donald can make up with her.

I going to guess it will be someone he’s really admired,supported and had closed relationships in the past, like:
Hillary Clinton
Barrack Obama
Chuck Schumer
Mitch McConnell
Nancy Polosi

It probably will be Rubio, which is why Donald hasn’t attacked him much

Not that I want Rubio, but if he were the VP choice

1) It would suck a lot of Hispainics away from the Rats

2) It would deflate charges of racism

3) The GOPe wouldn’t fight as hard
