The Great Pumpkin isn't going to choose the Sweaty Pustule because in the bizarro-logic of Republicanism, they are diametrically opposed. We look at them both and see insane fuckheads, but there's apparently some big ideological split between them according to Repubs, with Trump representing the secular small government fascist racists while Cruz represents the more traditional theological nutcases. Cruz fans fucking HATE Trump.

I know he's a puppet of the koch brothers but why would he turn down VP? I think his run for the top job was merely an "interview" process for him - he was always looking for VP.

It would be a double edge sword for Trump as Scott is a lot smarter than Trump. That also makes him extremely dangerous. Scott is a very impressive individual.

think it will be any governor. Newty is a loser.

If he sticks to that criteria, it will surely be an insider. If he changes his criteria to who will help him win the race, then anything goes.

The rest are the predictable clown jerks that would appeal to DRUMPF. MARTINEZ is the Hispanic PALIN, which would be fantastic to watch.
