Don’t shoot the messenger, please, just throwing this out there..........

Will the liberals and media beat up on us, if the ticket is two white men? Which will be contrasted with Hillary and a likely member of a minority as her running mate??

We can debate all day long the qualifications of the tickets, I’m just talking about the optics. Will the optics hurt us if Trump picks a white man, no matter how inspiring a pick he may be from the conservative point of view???

Having said that, I would throw out Allan West as a potential running mate for Trump to solve those problems.

They will beat up on us regardless. We could have a black-Hispanic disabled military vet transgender lesbian union member on the ticket and it would change nothing.

Allen West brings nothing to the table.

That w9ould look like pandering. Better to chase the fat vote and go with Chris Christie.
