Very few elected GOP politicans have endorsed Trump. Picking Sessions as VP would be a slap in their direction and give the ticket some beltway gravitas.

Finally!!! A list of VP candidates WITHOUT Lyn' Ted. About time.

1. Tom Cotton. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"

2. Bob Corker. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"

3. Chris Christie. No problem, good match with Trump.

4. Joni Ernst. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"

5. Newt Gingrich. Too much a loose cannon.

6. Jeff Sessions. I just don't see it.

7. Michael Flynn (retired Lt. General). No legislative experience, virtual unknown. Doesn't help.

8. Condoleezza Rice. She has already emphatically said no. Besides she doesn't bring legislative experience that Trump stated was key.

9. Rick Scott. Not impressed. No thank you.

10. Rick Perry. No way. He's already lost twice.

11. Stanley McChrystal. A nobody on national scene. No legislative experience.

12. Mike Pence. That would be about as exciting as Mondale running.

13. Martha McSally. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"

14. Marco Rubio. NO. Just simply No.

15. Jim Webb. Uh, he's not a Republican, already beat by Clinton and Sanders.

16. Scott Walker. No way. Might be fine as a governor, but folded on the national scene. Read his Twitter posts and see he is joke. Besides, Ryan and Prebius are enough Wisconsin losers for the moment.

17. Marsha Blackburn. A nobody that 99% of the American people will reply with "Who?"

18. John Katich. Why not Jeb while we're at it. No way!

19. Rudy Giuliani. He's failed on the national scene and wouldn't bring a single vote that Trump doesn't already have. Probably would cost a few.

20. Scott Brown. Lost his Senate seat. Seems like a nice guy, maybe a cabinet role, but definitely not VP or presidential.

Sorry, most of these are nobodies, losers, and none ADD to Trump. Most would be great additions to the Trump administration but only Christy, in my opinion, is presidential material. He's the only one with real national presence combined with legislative experience, plays hardball, can negotiate, and is no doubt loyal to friend Trump.

Condi Rice? More neocon adventures abroad? Uh no.

Rick Perry? Like Trump hisself said, “he should have to take an IQ test.” Right.

Lots of poor choices on that list. But those two are the worst.

Reading down the list of other people suggested in this thread--Palin, etc.--the only one that I like is Huckabee. Nice guy, respected. Sure better than most on the list. I might not like some of his politics--no different than the others--but I could see him as president, much like Christie, without much problem.

Put Sessions as AG maybe, make Sheriff Joe head of FBI (wouldn't that shake things up.), Palin head of RNC, which she could clean up.

Christie wilted when he got blow back for endorsing Trump. Sessions is really the only one who has passed his audition for VP. He knows the issues inside and out and would add some beltway experience to the ticket. I would be really leary of parachuting somebody new into the nuclear warfare this campaign as become. Trump needs somebody who has been tested and passed. Sessions fits that bill. Nobody else really does outside of maybe Newt. And Newt has other issues obviously.

I think Huckabee would be a checkmate. With his Arkansas roots, he might be uniquely qualified in helping Trump gain an inside track against the Clintons. Indeed, Huckabee may know where some of the bodies are buried. Plus his folksy manner is rather appealing. He’s solid with Christian Conservatives and would be excellent in accentuating Trump’s populist message.
