Trump will not be able to pick a VP. His ego will not let someone else

spoil or share his moment.

So how does he solve this?

IMO he will make the convention choose the VP, that way he will have others to blame when he looses.

Feel too upstaged by a candidate who dresses like she's going to a square dance.

Who looks suspiciously just like Donald Trump except for the fact he wears glasses and has a Groucho Marx moustache.

Oddly enough, Trump and his VP candidate are never seen together in the same room.

Just don't expect him to be a VP candidate himself.

13. I'm sure you're right. And Trump needs a person who will humble

him or herself before his greatness. A VP, or ANY appointee, who drew serious media attention away from Trump for any reason, plus or minus, might not last very long at all.

Could Christie possibly stick it, and why would he? It's so bizarre to see that bully abasing himself on those stages.

8. Donald Trump consults himself for policy decisions

He will choose himself as his running mate since no one else could possibly match his greatness.

Sort of like Caligula nominating his horse, Incitatus, a consul.

What has happened to our country?

in the General it will be President tRump. Republicons will come out of the graves to vote against Hillary. Remember we have a lot of fundy ass stupid people. Don't believe me just remember that we have a lot of teahadist and they got there somehow and it sure wasn't divine intervention that did it either.

14. Well then it'll be all the more important to get out the vote. I know it's not in you to roll over.

My greatest fear is that if Trump got elected he'd pomp around while the real GOP buzzards picked our bones for four horrifying years.

that other people thought that was silly, especially in 2015, so he dropped it.

18. I saw some quote of him saying he had to pick someone with political experience.

I don't remember where I saw this, or the context. But I am pretty sure this election cycle hasn't driven me to hallucinations yet.

He said something like "I need someone who will be able to walk in the Senate day one."

I googled but didn't find it, but I did find this, and it is more recent:
