Alaska - Walker - supposedly a lifelong pubbie.
Jumped ship to hook up with a Dem & Native activist for the $$$$.
Right now he is doing his damnest to bankrupt the state.
So, Gov Walker - **oh hell NO**.
I’d go with Dan Patrick rather than Abbott. Patrick would bring the Christian right, and he is more of a firebrand.
Charlie Rattlesnake Baker?
Just pick Deval Patrick. ................... [/s]
And a big NO to Gov. “Let’s Make a” Deal, “Bad” Deal, “Shady” Deal, or just plain “Dirty” Deal.
LePage isn’t my state’s governor, but I sure like his style.
Florida great Governor, terrible pick, too much baggage
Chris Christie. He has a lot of baggage. However, He brings Italian and Irish Catholics to Trump’s ticket. He could bring Pa., Ohio, to the ticket. He has a Rust Belt/Northeastern vibe.
Are any still in their first term?
Bevin or Abbot,with few exceptions, all the others are a bunch of Rinos. Unfortunately or not, none of them will be picked.
I hope not - Kasich in Ohio
It won’t be Michigan governor Rick Snyder. In fact almost everyone on your list can be ruled out
He is completely in favor of the entire LGBT platform because he has a gay brother, and he is entirely in favor of the "assault" weapons ban. There are other issues, but these two come immediately to mind.
For VP? No.
NO NO NO.....NO GOV. SCOTT.
Big sugar barons in Florida fund both the democrats and rinos...from the Bushes to the Clintons, Gov. Scott and Rubio....thanks to Lake O releases, we have polluted waterways, estuaries, closed beaches....it’s a corrupted system with Pepe and Alfy Fanjul, the sugar brothers, who continue lining the pockets of every politician from town commissioners to presidents. Cane being grown on 180 million acres....water from Okeechobee diverted east and west. Our elected officials claim they can’t do anything. Check out Stuart, Florida...recently named one of the top ten happiest beach towns in the nation. No longer. Green and blue toxic scum everywhere!
Bryant is in the Barbour machine
Our California Gov. Jerry Brown would make a great VP pick — for the Communist Party. But I think “Commissar” would be the proper title for him. Sorry, no help here from the Far Left Coast.
My governor, Gary Herbert, isn’t a potential governor. Gawd, Utahns are stoopid.
My fine Governor, Pence.... No. He has no political instinct. He screwed the pooch here in Indiana. No real issues with his positions, but he is politically clumsy. Even oafish. He would be a drag on the ticket.
McCrory is telegenic and articulate. He stepped right up and spearheaded the effort to overturn Charlotte’s bathroom bill. Pro-business, pro-life.
Trump could do a lot worse than McCrory. But Trump will win NC regardless, so I’m not sure McCrory helps win the election.
Winning the election is Priority 1, 2, and 3.
Trump can get advice from dozens of others besides the VP.
There’s only 3 that would fit:
Gov. Paul LePage - ME
Gov. Pat McCrory - NC
Gov. Greg Abbott - TX
The rest are RINOs, damaged, or mediocre (or all 3).
