Trump plans to choose experienced politician for VP
The Hill ^ | April 2, 2016 | Evelyn Rupert

Posted on 04/03/2016 12:31:22 PM PDT by COUNTrecount

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said he is "95 percent" sure he would pick a veteran politician for vice president if elected.

He said he would choose “somebody that can walk into the Senate and who’s been friendly with these guys for 25 years, and people for 25 years and can get things done" in an extensive interview with The Washington Post published Saturday.

“So I would 95 percent see myself picking a political person, as opposed to somebody from the outside," he said.

Sessions. He's been so quiet since he endorsed

Sessions as VP choice would make it very difficult to say that Trump won't be effective at choosing folks who can turn things around.

You mean, another one of those corrupt Washington insiders. Too funny watching Trumpsters squirming in their seats, biting their lips and searching for another justification for their support.

But... but... but...

Actually - his description most fits Harry Reid. He is the only person that has gotten anything done in the Senate for the past 25 years. He must be thinking of Harry.

Oh yeah! That would be so much fun. I’m not being sarcastic. I like Newt, he’s honest and mostly conservative. Newt knows how to handle the press most of the time. Newt has gravitas galore. He could also act as an occasional ‘minder’ for The Donald, who is not yet accustomed to the give and take of politics. Keep him off Twitter, Newt!

Now I think Sessions, if Trump wants someone who has know the “guys” in deecee for 25 years. Sessions is a great Senator but the whole country comes first! I hope if Trump does pick Sessions you people in GA can elect another good one.

If all these D.C. politicians are so experienced, why are we in decades of decline in every direction?

Lets see who has been donating to his campaign...

... Remember, he’s not a politician - He’s a businessman. He doesn’t care who is doing the best job, who is going to be best - Only who is best for the bottom line.

And the bottom line is the money. It’s always the money.

So lets take a look at some rich politicians. Some -seriously- rich politicians.

“somebody that can walk into the Senate and who’s been friendly with these guys for 25 years, and people for 25 years and can get things done”

That sure narrows it down.

Session would still be in the Senate being the President of the Senate breaking any tie votes. ;-)

Actually - One of the guys who has been most friendly with the Senate the past 25 years - Has been Donald Trump. He has donated to many of them. And he says himself he is on great terms with many of them. And he says he has the ability to negotiate and compromise with most of them.

Trump/Trump 2016 ticket.
