Messing with the Senate — other than in primary elections — is a mistake.
Frankly, there aren’t any time proven senators whom I would trust. Some newcomers may hold some promise but they have not been battle tested, IMO.
Have been saying that since the beginning. Probably why Rubio decided to run again. He has the best shot at winning his seat. I agree with his decision. He will help carry Trump in Florida.
We need the BOTH houses and the presidency for anything to get done.
I concur
military man - Michael Flynn ...
I agree with this. Sessions and Ernst are too valuable where they are to be stuck in a do-nothing no-power job for four years.
Corker, on the other hand, is a problem where he is and deserves to be stuck in a do-nothing no-power job for four years.
Newt is not in office anywhere at the moment, so if he wants it, why not?
So, those are my picks: Corker or Newt.
Individual politics are a different matter. I've got issues with all three.
I agree that Sessions needs to stay in the Senate. He’s far too valuable to be trotted around for 3rd world funeral duty.
The VP should be someone strong tested vetted and capable of running this nation from day 1. No Joni Ernst she does not have experience. Senators run nothing except their staffs. LTC are not high level military strategists. Get real and stop using the vp office as a pandering post or a affirmative action job training position. I expect better from trump. People who advise trump he “ needs” a female vp are flawed analysts who should be fired.
Congressman Marsha Blackburn.
If Trump wins, the Senate will be o.k. We’ll retain FL, NH, OH and PA. Probably lose IL. Might lose WI. Might pick-up CO and NV. Figure break-even, though maybe a small change either way.
But if Trump loses, we’ll probably lose our majority.
So, this one’s for the Presidency, the Supreme Court and the Senate.
Regarding Iowa - a vacancy would be filled by appointment by the Governor (who is a Republican). The appointee will serve until the next regularly-scheduled statewide election (which would be 2018).

I like the idea of a FORMER Senator and Pence might be the guy. We need to remember, the VP has about as much power as a junior, a very junior Senator. One vote only in case of a tie. Other than that he/she is a good go between for the President and Congress and he/she needs to look good at funerals.
I may not agree with Pence much or any, but I doubt he would. like LBJ conspire to kill the top guy in order to get the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Alan West for VP, or, at least, Defence Secretary.
