If he runs as Trump's veep, the only way he'll get into the White House is on a visitor's pass.

Marco would be good but little marco couldn't even win his state at least Kasich did.


How about Jeff Sessions? Trump seems to rave about him. Although Jeff has a lot of skeletons in his closet.


Carly? Seems like for the right Price a la HP Trump could buy her allegiance?

I agree. I would like to see him try to get Anita Hill. I know that many Republicans and one Supreme Court Justice would disagree; but Trump now needs to win in November. The Anita Hill story/Judge Thomas has been all over HBO and other premium stations recently. She has name recognition - like Trump. She also is a woman's right advocate and, we know from her testimony against Thomas, that she can hold her ground against tough opposition.


I also think Governor Martinez would be a great pick.


If Trump really wants to win in November; I just think he has to think more about the general election and less about patching up differences with the Republican establishment. They will come around; whether they want to or not!

What about Paul Ryan? He would be the policy guru and essentially the one doing the governing of the country. Maybe he is eyeing a prez run in 2020, but his role as speaker of house will make him unpopular no matter who wins, Clinton or trump.

Nah, I'm thinking crazy Uncle Bernie as his VP!

Obama had crazy Uncle Joe, Trump can have crazy Uncle Bernie.

He picks the Bernmeister, he guarantees a victory over Hillary.

I can certainly live with Huntsman. The problem is he is sane, decent and has low tolerance for asinine bs.

Not so sure . . . she has admitted that her paternal grandparents (I think) came here from Mexico "without proper papers." Whatever that means. She is also against repealing Obamacare and is a proponent of Common Core.

That would actually make me take a deep breath and reconsider Trump, if it appeared that Trump would actually give him input into the running of the country.

Unfortunately, I don't thing that Trump's base would be happy with that situation. They seem to prefer chaos.
