Karl Rove: Mitch Daniels Would Be Great VP
Newsmax ^ | 11/25/15 | Bill Hoffmann

Posted on 11/28/2015 8:42:12 AM PST by jimbo123

Influential GOP consultant and policy adviser Karl Rove says former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels would be the perfect running mate for whoever wins the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

And at the very least, Rove adds in an exclusive interview with Newsmax TV, the GOP's vice presidential pick should be a Midwesterner to maximize the Republican ticket's drawing power.

"It would be good to have somebody from the Midwest. I've got an out-of-the-box idea for you, how about the former governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels," Rove said Wednesday on "Newsmax Prime" with J.D. Hayworth.

"[He's] done an exemplary job serving in the Reagan administration, serving in the Bush administration, serving as an eight-year very successful governor of a Midwestern state.

"And is now taking a strong role in reforming our education as the president of Purdue University. Anybody would be well-advised to look at him as a VP running mate."

Daniels and Pawlenty have all the exciting charisma of a mashed potato sandwich.

Whatever Karl says, the opposite is true.

You forgot one.

Trump = New York 29 Electoral Votes

Would this be the first time someone from Queen’s New York would become President of the United States?

Trump should have a campaign rally in Madison Square Garden and say this is my base!

This would be replicating the mistake Reagan made — trying to get along with the Establishment by giving them a foot in the door.

Oh noes. Not Mitch Daniels. Mitch Daniels makes Mitt Walker look like the energizer bunny. :-)

It’s got to be someone with whom Trump ticks.

Yes. The wife has a veto. I had hoped that Mitch would run against Obama. He is first rate intellectually and politically, and I thought that his dry, often biting humor would have been the perfect counter to His Imperial Pomposity of the famously thin skin.

Notice how the candidate in Burger King's new ad looks just like Rove? Talks like him, too.

Maybe Trump could pick Rove himself for V.P. to get the establishment vote too.

How about a Cruz-Susana Martinez ticket. Governor, female, Hispanic. That should do it.
