Trumps VP pick will be Susana Martinez of New Mexico

According to someone that leaked from inside the campaign.
This could be tough to overcome based on what little I know of her.

Anyone know more about her?

*Update* the vetting at OU is where the leak came from

On Wednesday morning, the judge told the jury it was allowed to choose between second-degree manslaughter and excusable homicide.

The jury convicted him and recommended the maximum four years in prison.

Congratulations Mrs. Clinton on securing the nomination - please read

Now if you wanna go checkout my previous post history knock yourself out but I'm a Bernie guy voted for him here in Oklahoma months ago.

So let's all be real with ourselves folks the voters have spoken on both sides and whether you like it or not the ballot this November will show.

R - Donald J Trump
D - Hillary Rodham Clinton

Now what do we do? Continue to argue and bicker? No we fight for what's best for the country.
You remember the country right, America the real home team. No D's or R's the whole country from sea to shining sea. Now do I prefer the choices above nope not gonna sugar coat it I think they stink. Doesn't matter what I think personally I have to check my feelings at the door on this one, but that does not mean I don't still have a choice to make in November. I have to put my country first and that means supporting Mrs. Clinton going forward. Our country deserves better than me being mad and staying home. Handing the Oval Office to the narcissistic dumbass could have similar ramifications as what happened in 1980. So I ask everyone to please refrain from being bitter and sometimes hateful over the outcome. We are better than this and right now America needs us to unite and save her from harm. What is coming is real and we may lose but I will be damned if I'm giving her up without a fight. Be real with yourself and reflect on the America you want next year and for generations to come. It's not about Bernie or Clinton anymore it's about the United States of America.

When Hillary finally apologizes to me or my unit then I may support her.

Yes, you read that right she owes me personally an apology for her Bosnia story. I say this because my job at the time was as an Intelligence Specialist assigned to the area. I was on the team that gave the plane the go ahead to land that the area was secure. General William Nash called my Chief Claire to verify, Chief then asked my group and we kinda looked at each other and said of course it's secure. Why did we answer this way? Because the war in Bosnia ended in 1995, and that by 1996, shooting of any kind was unlikely to happen. Moreover, the Tuzla area was a Serb-controlled area, which makes a sniper fire even more unlikely as snipers were mainly active in the urban areas where civilians were trapped under Serb/ Croat nationalist’s siege – such as Sarajevo and Mostar.

So, until I get a true blue "I'm Sorry" I can not and will not support her for any office.

My other question is if it were you in my shoes would you?

This is the only time I will bring this up, after this until she says the words I'm done with it and her.
