Might be former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer,
won't be Elizabeth Warren

Won't be Palin or anybody he ran against. Might be Jeff Sessions to emphasize illegal immigration, which I think is his main strength if he keeps after it strong and refuses to be cowed by pc idiots crying racism etc.

might be a signed photo of himself
won't be anyone who could win "are you smarter than a 5th grader"

1. Ron Paul- nice life insurance policy for Trump, passionate fan base
2. Hispanic- to help sell immigration policy
3. Woman- take away Hillary's woman card
4. Bernie- the one thing Trump and Bernie supporters can unite around is screw Hillary

Monica Lewinsky would be a hilarious VP pick

“Little Marco” doesn’t want to be second-in-command.

Marco Rubio, a former 2016 GOP candidate, said in a statement on his Facebook page that he doesn’t want to be vice president.

Ron Paul? No way in hell.

Nikki Haley would have been a reasonable choice for him, being a woman plus has some trace ethnicity which is isn't visibly offensive to his base but could be played as a card. But having already done so well in the South he might be looking for someone from another region plus he has already pissed Haley off. It should definitely be a woman. Maybe Ernst, an establishment woman from the Midwest would be the best possible calculated option.

Why not?

Ron Paul has no respect for Trump. Google is telling me he said he wouldn't support Trump as a nominee. Trump is way too "statist" for Paul imo, among other objections I would project for Paul.

I mean the traditional role of a vp is to attack so the president can act presidential, but that doesn't really seem relevant here. SOOOO almost certainly either someone from the base to ease the butthurt loyalists (this is why they are posturing now), or he goes ape**** and picks Sean John as epic VP hype man. I think any is as likely as the other. Probably 2nd one as likely to win as anything, so go for it imo.

kasich. book it.
05-10-2016 , 02:57 PM
It certainly won't be anyone who has designs on running in 2020. Most likely it would be a congressman or former government appointee type rather than a governor, ala what W did.
05-11-2016 , 01:38 AM
Kasich is more likely to try to poison him than run with him.

Serious chance there are real assassin attempt(s) on Trump before the general election btw.

that's quite a statement, Nixon fan ...

never mind that it's absolutely the right that has the monopoly on political assassinations (and attempts), certainly in this hemisphere.

can you cite precedent? ... I'll bet I can lap your list of victims a few times over . ... Here, I'll give you a head start: George Wallace? What else you got?

Yeah, see... The left generally doesn't resort to murder. And not just because they usually have the votes already. It's just not in their nature. ... Instead, political assassination requires a psychopathic trait far more common in angry RW cons.

Racism -

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Please post a racist Donald Trump quote.

lol, um.. hmmm.... People on the left really need to come to grips with the reality that they are now the ones in "control" You control the media, universities, and even these forums. You are no longer 1960s protesters radically voicing for a change, now Trump supporters are those people. Trump is seen as a radical change from the norm, which is more likely to invoke fear in a crazy person, and more likely to lead to an assassination.

When the left stood for change they were the ones more likely to get assassinated. Get a grip with reality, Hillary Clinton is status quo, she isn't going to scare anyone into killing her.

Of course, many assassination attempts are some loon who does it for no reason, so anyone is eligible really. You didn't even have to "give us" Wallace. That guy was a nutbag who just wanted to be famous, really wanted to shoot Nixon, also considered McGovern.

That's a pretty inadequate definition of racism, this is a politics forum of a sort and a dictionary definition doesn't cut it.

Well.... I have a Poe's Law Situation. If you're joking lol, if you're serious lol
05-11-2016 , 01:50 PM
Sure I get the claim that this is a politics forum of a sort is kinda lolworthy whether I'm serious or not but that doesn't make your definition of racism authoritative. It isn't.
05-11-2016 , 02:25 PM
It's from the dictionary!!!!.... look IDC what "definition" you use as long as it isn't one from an SJW Sociology textbook that defines racism to "wore dreadlocks in my hair" as racism.
Under any non-extremist definition, I contend it is hard to find 1 racist statement Trump has said or done. Sexist sure, racist not so much. But the media tells me he's racist because apparently being against illegal immigration makes you that now... so yeah.
05-11-2016 , 04:12 PM
Oh goody, another brain dead moron trumpkin deciding trump has never uttered a racist word in his life.

I'm sure we haven't covered this with a handful of idiots before on this forum.

Please post a racist Donald Trump quote.
Is David Duke a racist? You could comb through large sections (years worth) of Duke's rhetoric and not find any quote that meets your false standard. Duke promotes himself as a separatist. He says no race is better than another but people function better among their own race. He even claims to advocate diversity- by preserving it by disallowing race mixing. Duke has told his followers that voting against Trump is "treason to your heritage." Other white supremacist leaders have echoed the sentiment.

You post your nonsense on the day after Trump is discovered to have chosen a white supremacist leader as a delegate in California.

Quote:
Johnson leads the American Freedom Party, a group that "exists to represent the political interests of White Americans" and aims to preserve "the customs and heritage of the European American people." The AFP has never elected a candidate of its own and possesses at most a few thousand members, but it is "arguably the most important white nationalist group in the country," according to Mark Potok, a senior fellow for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which tracks hate groups.
Do you think the white supremacist leadership knows whether Trump is racist?
05-11-2016 , 09:29 PM
He (trump) has said things in the past about going "straight to the source" wrt his intellect, as if to suggest that his bloodline possesses unique characteristics - and that the amount of white (or i guess more specifically german) admixture that is the source of higher level intelligence.

Trump picking Bernie Sanders would be the greatest move in political history.
