Trump didn’t “dodge” a damn thing.
That'd be some guy sitting in a command truck on a wellsite somewhere (possibly laid off by now). While I have great respect for the people who ordered money to be spent buying up lease acreage and drilling wells, don't confuse them with the first people to do it (the true visionaries), or the people who made it work where the rubber meets the road. Its pretty rare the guy with the most marbles was the one who invented the game.
It’s quite up in the air as to whether or not Governor Palin could get approved for a Cabinet position by the Senate.
Like Mr. Trump, she has a lot of detractors on both sides of the aisle. Plus, she’s raising a special needs child that requires a lot of extra care.
She may prefer to stay out of the swamp in Washington DC.
The “Palin for Energy Secretary” ship has sailed. Since she last mattered, fracking has completely replaced Alaska as the focus of the energy debate in this country. The next Republican administration needs a strong proponent from a state with a history in the practice. This is not a place for symbolic gestures at this time.
Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton fits the bill. My money’s on him.
I think she was born somewhere around Montana.
I wonder if Cruz would get asked if Glenn Beck will be his VP?
I love Sarah, but it’s a bad plan to run her for VP.
“The “Palin for Energy Secretary†ship has sailed.”
I agree, and have said that many times now.
But Palin would be perfect for Sec of the Interior...
The ideal strategy with VP picks is not to find a soulmate or fellow traveler. Quite the opposite, actually. The right man (or woman, I guess) can find you votes that may or may not have been there all along.
Thus, Reagan picked Bush. Bush picked Cheney. Dole picked Kemp. McCain picked Palin. etc.
You may despise Rubio, but you’ll be pulling the lever for Trump. Others who are not sure about Trump may be comforted by the addition to a guy like Rubio on the ticket.
Al Sharpton for VP: Flamboyant, Entertainer, Politician, New Yorker, Excellent Shake-Down Artist
I am NOT a Republican, but a CONSERVATIVE.
If Trump picks Eddie Haskel, I’m out.
So, he won’t tell CNN who he wants as VP. But he’s “dodging” the question.
Ah, the scumbag media. They never quit. Not for an instant.
Not that I enjoy defending CNN, but I believe that's exactly what it means to "dodge" a question.
And, for that matter, not that dodging a question is always a bad thing.
Yes, Sarah will not be the VP, but she will be in the cabinet. Secretary of the Interior would be a good choice.
That soon?
Is Donald Trump a conservative?
Oh is that why Cruz is picking? Sounds good..I wonder what Glen Beck would say about that....
This post I copied from hot Air has good points on why Cruz gets hit by Trump:
“The establishment has been with Trump since damn near the beginning of his campaign.
Jeb Bush had so-so poll numbers from the outset, because they were split between Trump and Bush. When Bush’s went down, It was Trumps numbers that jumped up, because all the establishment voters abandoned Jeb and flocked to Trump. He likes to make deals, he has proven he has no problem crawling into bed with liberals.
Sure the (R) establishment types protest Trump here and there, when its the PC thing to do. Even Lindsey Graham has said Trump is trainable. IE: They can work with a guy that likes to make deals.
It only now when Trump feels he is inevitable that he openly admits the establishment (R)s are colluding with him behind the scenes.
Trump is not an outsider candidate. He is the ultimate insider. He has used his money to buy influence from both sides for years. They all know Trump will go along to get along if elected.
Why do so many Trump supporters HATE Cruz, Carson, and Paul? They are the 3 anti-establishment candidates in this race. There is no conservative that hates Cruz, Carson, or Paul. They might not support this one or that one at the moment. They might not like where they stand on this issue or that one, but they do not hate them. Only (R) establishment voters, and establishment politicians do.
i don’t see why the conservative pundits are not picking up on this and sounding the alarms.

Can pick a VP at any time, BUT must wait until the nomination before picking a cabinet person.
