Hi Jane!

Love your graphic!

I was just reading through the other Gala thread - like this post from COBOL2Java :-)

Reply to another poster: Its not a political event, hes a guest speaker. Stop whining like Cruz.

COBOL2Java’s post:
A new entry for the American lexicon:

Cruzing: To whine annoyingly and unnecessarily.

Thanks for new .. fun and informative .... thread , nik.

Of course I did poorly on Trivia.. Knew Mark T and Katherine H

Listened to all of candidates last night. Trump won the crowd... K and C bored them. Naysayers will say T should have been more topical w/issues. I say it was a GALA and he did the correct thing

off to chiropractor and then work.. will be back for PM rally tonight.

later..

VP possibilities (Disclaimers to anyone -I DID NOT SAY MY CHOICES)

Freepersup… sorry I did not get back to you last night. Pretty tired.

I have seen a lot of lists.

The names I have seen that I don’t believe DJT would ever consider are:

Ted Cruz
Marco Rubio
Jeb Bush
Scott Walker
Nikki Haley
Paul Ryan
Condi Rice
Mia Love
Sarah Palin
Carly Fiorina
Rand Paul
Scott Brown

The names that I think are POSSIBILITIES” and on short list but with * to meeting criteria of politicians for “a season”. These are the ones I did a little background checking on

*Chris Christie
*Rudy Guliano
*Rick Perry
*Susana Martiniz
*Tim Scott
*John Kasich (prob not)
Rick Santorim(prob not)
Ben Carson (prob not)
John Bolton
Allen West
*Mike Huckabee
*Mike Pense

But I really REALLY think he will surprise us all and pick someone NOT on these lists now
