Trump's running mate might be important

[cyberswede]

Let's say, god forbid, Trump wins the GE.

If he really doesn't want to be president, would he conceivably resign some time after he's sworn in? Leaving his VP to take over?

I figured Palin was gunning for it, but now Christie is too, obviously. Neither prospect is comforting.

1. Given that he'll probably do something impeachable within hours of being sworn in... yeah

[randys1]

2. First time I heard that, did a spit take

3. That's not what Christie wants.

He'll pick a young evangelical or minority or female or - all of the above.

4. I'm wanting Bernie to choose Keith Ellison now.

I was all for Barbara Lee, but Keith is quite a bit younger, and as someone pointed out, it would mean a Jewish American President with a Muslim American Vice President, and be symbolic for more than just America, but also the world.

7. I've been promoting that idea as well, if our elections are about history, that's some world history

to make with that ticket. I'd be very proud of the US if we managed that.

5. I doubt that Trump would choose Christie.

6. At least Christie doesn't spew word salad.

Or eat any kind of salad, for that matter.

8. If Trumps picks another white male.

It would be a fantastic opportunity for Clinton to pick Castro and for him to be announced as the first Hispanic on any presidential ticket ever, huge win for the dems.

Its likely not going to be Rubio, Haley or Cruz for the GOP, so another white male is very likely now.

10. I think Castro is a smart pick too.

9. About an hour ago I floated this by my husband (with a tin foil hat warning).

What if the plan is to plant an "acceptable" candidate on the ticket - Christie - as an insurance policy. If Trump is elected POTUS, it will probably be weeks not months before he commits an impeachable offense. Boom. He resigns. The RNC gets their choice.
