12. "Carl Icahn, you're fired. Get out!"

Sun Jan 10, 2016, 02:08 PM

Jan 2016

"Carlie Fiorina, you're ugly. You're fired. Leave!"

I can see it. Supposedly a lot of the fans of The Apprentice want him for president. He's a "strong leader."

What I don't see is Trump choosing a strong VEEP. He'll want an unthreatening sycophant. A really good ass-kissing schmoozer.

Cruz was supposed to be a real possibility. I'm guessing Cruz probably burned this bridge for good, though, when he moved on from kissing up to trying to dethrone the king. Besides, what president could sleep soundly with Cruz just a heartbeat from the Oval Office?
