The Daily Caller ^ | 4/14/2011 | Chris Moody

Florida Congressman and Tea Party favorite Allen West isn’t opposed to the idea of joining possible presidential contender Donald Trump, West told The Daily Caller Thursday.

When pressed repeatedly if he would rule out the possibility of running with Trump, the Republican House freshman did not say that the idea was off the table.

I hate to use the word “unbeatable”, but Trump/West would certainly be very, very formidable.

I still doubt Trump is even going to run.

This actually sounds like a great idea!

If Trump picked West, Herman Cain or Michele Bachmann for VP, I would have no second thoughts about whom I would vote for.

They would get my vote!

This would be a great ticket. It would balance out perfectly. Something for everyone — and we would take NY, and Florida in the process (and maybe even the 2 gambling states of NJ and Nevada). Two non-PC outspoken guys; business experience; military experience; a moderate and a tea party conservative; and last but not least “diversity”. Sounds like a winning ticket to me.

I understand that this is just political gamesmanship..and have no problem with West’s statement..HOWEVER, I wish he had added the qualifier..”That I expect that if Trump is NOT the nominee..he will endorse whoever is, and NOT run as an independent..”

Its about time for conservatives to weed out the liberals and the moderates. I would hope Cong West does lend his legitimacy to this liberal lout.

What 1st term rookie House Rep would dismiss being a POTUS running mate on any ticket? This is a stupid question and is an indication of absolutely nothing.

Trump West does sound like a good idea. I could live with that. West could run for President in the next election or two.

Who is your winning candidate? Who will you put up against obama’s billion dollars and state controlled media?

It could be Trump-Jesus and the answer is still no. The problem is not the bottom of the ticket.
