Almost no one would vote for them, but the GOP base would spend the entire election in a gooey post-orgasmic hate trance.

Two crazies = the perfect Republican ticket. Though I wouldn't mind seeing Palin on the national stage again. She's probably the worst (and most entertaining) national candidate I've ever seen. The witch who ran for senate in Delaware was pretty awesome too.

How about Michael Milken, the perfect GOP vice-presidential contender? He's greedy, free of moral scruples and a known crook.

“It would be really disappointing — not really — but it would depend on what’s inside the magazine. I don’t think Ivanka would do that, although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”

Josh Duggar is eight years too young to be vice president - he would have to be 35, and he's 27.

The Duck Dynasty guy is a possibility, and I'm surprised he isn't running already.

because of a statement I had just read where Trump said his daughter Ivanka was so beautiful and if she wasn't his daughter he'd date her (ick!).

He'll lay low for a bit, then pop up in a county that's almost uniformly fundamentalist Christian, claim God has given him a "new heart," and run for Congress. The sick shit is, he could very well win.

I would LOVE to see Trump actually win the nomination for the 2016 election. If he gets nominated, a Democratic victory is 100% certain. I'll make sure to actually say "You're Fired!" when I see his face on tv after he loses. Ha.

...there are rumors he's not a native-born American, but hey! If Obama was born in Kenya, General Franco can be born in the USA... As for the rumors that he's still dead, these are outrageous slanders. There are people who claim that Nixon is dead! The media can get people to believe anything...
