Trump’s Short List for Veep Includes Four

https://politicalwire.com/2016/06/18/trumps-short-list-for-veep-includes-four/

"SNIP.............



Politico reports that Donald Trump’s “own toxicity is making the job of finding a vice presidential nominee that much easier, because the short list is so short.”

“Multiple high-level Republican sources said it is topped by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, with Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions a distant third and Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin also in the mix.”

1. I want christie

It would make it even more delirious

[yeoman6987]

3. I think it may be Jeff sessions.

Not sure if that is good or bad.

[Kingofalldems]

4. Wow. A Trump expert.

Pretty good.

[trof]

8. Jefferson Beauregard Sessions

Oh my.


He got no earlobes.
I don't trust a guy with no earlobes.

[underpants]

12. It was 30 years ago but he had serious racial issues that lead to him being denied US Dist Judgeship

[trof]

15. That's the guy.

[MFM008]

13. Henry Gibson?

no he had talent.................

[CentralMass]

27. ....

[yeoman6987]

32. Oh my gosh. He doesn't. I don't know if I have seen anyone without them.

[lpbk2713]

2. Now I KNOW he's trying to lose.

I wasn't entirely sure up until now.

[Warpy]

5. It'll be Gingrich

While sensible people in OK would love to get rid of Failin, you know she'd be sent packing back home the day after the oath, only to be trotted out for things like funerals for the next four years. She's not pretty enough to keep in DC, and "pretty" is the only reaon Demented Don keeps any woman around.

[immoderate]

6. If Trump is pres, and Christie is VP, I want stock in SNL!

I know -- but it would be worth it!

[rurallib]

28. Fugelsang keeps saying as a comedian Trump would be his dream.

[Rex]

7. Death, Pestilence, Famine and War? nt

[MFM008]

14. lol

[L. Coyote]

25. Dang, I was hoping for Palin, Palin, Palin, and Palin.

What could go wrong?

[auntpurl]

34. rofl

[NightWatcher]

9. Sessions? I thought he's already locked up the racist cracker vote???

[Ilsa]

22. LOL. Best reply. Scariest, too. nt

[auntpurl]

35. This thread is killing me

[CherokeeDem]

10. Christie....

he'd sell his soul to get to the VP slot...

[applegrove]

11. Especially since Trump would likely get impeached.

[CherokeeDem]

21. I was thinking he'd be planning Trump's end!

Impeachment would be Christie's dream!!!

[JoePhilly]

16. Louie Goemert is available.

[dlwickham]

17. I think it will be Newt

he's sleazy enough to run with Trump

[MrScorpio]

18. Beauregard, to lock up the Saltine-American vote

Christie is more like Trump's personal gofer.

[Doctor Jack]

19. Pick your poison, Trump

[oberliner]

20. This is a fake-out

It will not be any of those four people.

[NightWatcher]

24. He's gonna pick his daughter and be like "cmon, she's hot. Vote for her"

[underpants]

30. Yes most early shortlist are a nod or news filler

The talk earlier this week of Warren being Hillary's VP was, to me, a wink and a nod to the progressive side. It's sort of a non-endorsement endorsement to let campaigns use their name.

[Ilsa]

23. I bet he picks a young, business tycoon, like a younger version of himself. nt

[L. Coyote]

26. Or another television actor, Kevin Spacey.

He played the part well on T-V, so he must be a natural.

[rurallib]

29. I am disappointed - I thought sure it would be auctioned off

[auntpurl]

36. "If you get into this box full of scorpions, you can be VP!"

[JCMach1]

31. I would pay good money to see Christie vs. Warren!

and Take Warren in the 4th round.

[Thor_MN]

33. Sessions? Possibly the dumbest person in Congess.

[auntpurl]

37. Dumb AND racist

The winning combination.

[jmowreader]

38. I don't think it'll be any of them

Gingrich and Christie are known crooks. Sessions would get eaten alive in a debate. Fallin, in Trump's mind, would "balance" the ticket (translation: people voting with their vaginas should have a GOP choice) but he's not going to put someone from Oklahoma on the ticket.

If I was Trump I'd pick Cathy McMorris Rogers. (Actually, if I was Donald Trump I'd have committed seppuku long before now, which is why it's a good thing I am not Trump. That shit looks like it hurts.)
