(16,926 posts)Face it - it's painfully obvious that he has no real grasp of issues foreign or domestic, instead relying entirely on fiery rhetoric intended to twist the knobs of the Angry White Right.
If the horror were to unfold that he went on to win the nomination and the general (which I don't see as completely impossible), he would have to surround himself with advisers with some real-world knowledge and experience, not someone who claps deliriously whenever Dear Leader speaks. But having a staffer or a Veep who is inclined to tap him on the shoulder with a correction when he suggests that melanin detectors for TSA checkpoints would be a good thing, probably isn't going to go over real well.
So he isn't going to choose a Palin or Bachmann, but you can likely count out Jeb or Kasich as well. He would be most comfortable with someone who can provide some competent support while doing so in a low key, behind the scenes manner, letting The Toupee take all the credit.
