KARL: ...So, where is the center of gravity now for the Republican Party?
SESSIONS: That's a good question, Jonathan. I would say it's with the movement Donald Trump is leading. He is leading the Republican Party, which is the Republican voter. And the Republican voter is adopting his views and not the views that too often we've seen out of Washington, Democrat and Republican.
And so I think he's showing real strength there. He's unifying the people who are going to say we want some change. We want better jobs, better wages. We don't want falling wages. We want an immigration system that protects our interests.
KARL: So, I've got to ask you, and I saw you were in Texas speaking on behalf of Trump at their party convention down there, I know you don't expect to be asked, and I know you're not looking for it, but if he asked you to be his running mate would you accept?
SESSIONS: Well, I don't expect to be asked. He needs to get the best person who can lead this country. But you saying would I be ashamed or unwilling to serve this man? No. It would be a great honor to be able to assist him in any way possible. We've got to change America. Donald Trump will result in the elimination of Obamacare. Donald Trump will appoint the Supreme Court justice to replace Scalia. They will keep the court from flipping. That will on the gun rights. He will reduce taxes and create growth and stand up to our trading partners and make sure they comply with our trading agreements.

Sessions would be a fantastic VP, but he is needed in the Senate and might discourage crossover support.
And it was all hate over at Fox Sunday. Except for Newt who was excellent. He took apart some braindead Kansas representative to use a Rush terminology.
Sessions is sixty-nine and appears in great shape. He has at least a ten to fifteen good years ahead of him. Whether as VP or Supreme Court nominee, he would be fantastic.
He would be. The VP presides over the Senate.
I agree. The downside is he would be too old to succeed Trump, and he doesn’t help in a state that Trump will already carry easily.
Sessions is far too valuable in the Senate, there are only a handful on the side of the citizens and the rule of law. The rest of them are on the side of the illegal aliens and their employers.
