Please list your top 5 VP picks for Donald Trump. This is assuming the campaign of Ted Cruz will collapse tomorrow, and Trump will cruise into Cleveland.
You can’t have a VEEP from the same state, nor ANY FAMILY MEMBER IN YOUR ADMINISTRATION , since JFK; it’s ILLEGAL!
Here in Florida, re: Bondi, the feeling is that “The lights are on but no one is home.”
Also, make Newt the Chief of Staff, not VP. The COS gets things dome. Alan West for Sec. Def. Christi or Giuliani as AG, Bolton at State, Martinez at Interior,
1. Hank Williams Jr.
2. Charlie Daniels
3. David Allen Coe
4. Nolan Ryan
5. George Brett
For those listing John Bolton - I believe he is a CFR guy. So, NO to him.
Neither Jindal or Rubio are eligible to be VP. Besides, Marco will probably endorse lyin’ Ted.
Bolton and Rice are CFR - globalists, as is Martinez, and you can’t have 2 NYers on the ticket. (Guiliani) Tom Cotton attended that meeting off the coast of Georgia to stop Trump. It looks like slim pickings out there.
Megyn Kelly
kathleen willey.
Allen West
David A. Clarke, Jr.(or, head of FBI if Clinton not indicTED, ICE, or Homeland Security)
Jeff Sessions (or SCOTUS or A.G.)
John Bolton (or UN Ambassador)
Pam Bondi (or A.G.)
I have faith that Mr. Trump knows far, far, far better than I ever could who the best person would be. I’m sure it will delight and surprise us, and is probably no one we’re even considering.
That said, I hope it’s not one of the people he was running against. I’ve really had about enough of all of them for one lifetime.
The real question is who will be Chief of Staff?
That is the real seat of power....
I could see Jan Brewer or John Bolton doing that job.
Bolton kept the UN at bay and protected the Second Amendment against the UN
“small arms” Treaty.
Joseph Dunford
James Mattis
John Bolton
Scott Walker
The general election will be very close, so the pick has to deliver a battleground state or a demographic - without question.
This eliminates Sessions, Hunter, Gingrich, Cruz, Demint - without question.
In no particular order:
Marsha Blackburn
Allen West
Susanna Martinez
Chris Christie - if that delivers NJ
Rudy Giuliani - if that delivers NY
John Kasich - assuming he delivers OH
Marco Rubio
JC Watts
Actually, it’s suited to a younger person....
That’s a super-hyper high energy position that doesn’t require the depth of thought of those folks.....
But the position is the gatekeeper in most administrations.....
Most VP’s have to go through them for access
Duncan Hunter’s son.
Ditch Jindal...Louisiana is dead broke. Bobby signed 8.7 million in new taxes, last July....and we are still 3.2 billion in the hole. Hannity won’t vet him.
Duncan Hunter Jr. (Dad was my pick in 2008 and hopefully like father, like son)
Suzanne Martinez
Rick Perry
Rick Scott
Scott Walker
