In reply to the discussion: Who does Trump pick for VP? [View all]TM99
(8,352 posts)25. He will choose a minority
woman that is moderate and will draw votes from centrist Dems and right leaning independents pissed about Clinton's corruption and bullshit and strong enough to pull disgruntled moderate Republicans back to the fold.
Everybody thinks he is a dumbass, but he isn't. He got this far. When Cruz was playing politics to secure delegates behind the scene, he wised up fast, hired a vicious but powerful political consultant or two, and now Cruz is bowing out. Those are not the actions of a stupid man.
Too many have underestimated him.
