Christie - got the weight band surgery and is still obese - lack of commitment and drive?, rino, gas taxes, his poll numbers are at the lower end now in NJ.

Palin - screeches, women have Palin envy.

Rand Paul - too short, small man.

Ernst - that face and hair, no good accomplishments in the Senate.

Sessions - same age as Trump, better as a Senator.

Gingrich - older than Trump, obese, “baggage”.

Cruz - another Senator, possibly lied about liking Trump.

Corker - name speaks for itself.

She’s only 2 years into it, and her background was military.

Cruz on the other hand was a barn burner. He was writing legislation before he showed up, iirc.

Politicians make the criminal class seem like pikers.

“Alan West for VP, or, at least, Defence Secretary.”

Alan West dissed Trump for the “star” nonsense. It will not be him.

The next regularly-scheduled election for statewide office in Iowa is Gov. in 2018. Iowa has such as election every even-numbered year.

Since the senate & house haven’t balanced the budget in how many years why wou any of them be a good pick?’ A Govenor has to bring forth a budget better choice.

Someone I’ve posted about lately that I would love Mr. Trump to consider is Representative Jim Jordan. He’s a fiscal conservative, from OH, went to school there and in WI (NCAA wrestling champ), proposed a balanced budget, against illegal immigration, for healthcare reform, IIRC his name was being tossed around as a replacement for Boehner, articulate, nice-looking, young.

Here’s his statement from yesterday:
Despite statements 2 contrary, Clinton sent/received Top Secret info through her unclassified email server - yet FBI sees no case. Travesty.

Here’s his website, you need to scroll down to see his statements on various issues:

We need the BOTH houses and the presidency for anything to get done.

Then how come Obama has neither and is unstoppable?

We need to remember, the VP has about as much power as a junior, a very junior Senator.

I am not certain the VP has no power in the Senate, has one ever asserted their presidency of the Senate or just by custom he only reports for tie votes.

When she gives one of her screechy speeches I run to hide under my bed

Maybe there is something wrong with your hearing or maybe you prefer this kind of voice.

I suspect LBJ did or tried.
But what did he accomplish as VP?
The most the VP could have other than that tiebreaking vote is the power to lobby. But hell, EVERY former Senator has that.

Naa, I think someone like Pence would be a good choice. Good optics, Executive experience, Legislative experience, Respected enough on the hill to be a real asset to a president with zero government experience.

If Blackburn is a fighter, then why isn’t she out there now fighting for Trump?

"Tennessee . . . is not a guaranteed win for a republican replacement for Corker."

If Corker were an actual Republican, that might be an issue for me, but . . .

I don't know what this Blackburn woman looks like, and I'm sure that most voters don't even recognize her name, so how is a person like her, or any other relatively unknown to the General Public VP candidate going to be able to raise any money for Trump if people have to Google their names because they have never heard of them before?

The optics of two old men running on the GOP ticket are horrible, and will be viewed as trying to get in the way of America electing its first woman President.

I do and I’m from Ohio. She looks like Shelley Fabare in her “Coach” days.

Moreover, she’s a huge pro-life and pro-family voice in the House.
