Now that Trump is beginning to surge, and with Hillary Clinton’s criminal incompetence finally exposed and paying rich dividends, someone please tell me the Donald is not going to tap this donor-greased establishment flack for veep.
Please.
I mean, when I even think of Healthy Indiana I have nightmares that I’m curled in a fetal ball under the bed, petrified that Billy Mumy’s going to wish me into the cornfield.
WESTFIELD, Indiana (AP) — Republican Donald Trump campaigned alongside Indiana Gov. Mike Pence on Tuesday evening, the latest in a series of public auditions as the billionaire businessman mulls his vice presidential pick.
Walking onto the stage to cheers, Pence confidently introduced the presumptive GOP nominee and vigorously advocated for Trump as the best person to lead the country. The speech made clear that despite his mild-mannered reputation, the governor and former Congressman could serve the role of attack dog if Trump taps him as his running mate.
The race to fill Donald Trump’s ticket appears to be whittled down to three main prospects, and one candidate is getting some serious face time with the Trump family this morning.
Campaign sources told ABC News that Donald Jr., Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, are joining Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence at Pence’s home in Indiana this morning.
My vice presidential prediction is: Trump is about to make his first mistake. I knew this would happen as soon as he hired campaign consultants, rather than relying on his gut. If these campaign consultants were any good, their first piece of advice to Trump would be, “Fire us immediately!”
Trump’s advisers are undoubtedly telling him he’s got the “outsider” image covered. He needs someone with experience in Washington — as if presidents don’t have staffs — an elected Republican official with solid standing in the GOP, preferably a sitting senator or governor, who will give the ticket gravitas and heft.
This is completely wrong. Trump isn’t a standard-issue GOP, trying to balance the ticket to get his party into power. He’s starting a new party! He’s just blown up the old GOP. Instead of a party for, by and of globalist plutocrats, the new Trumpian party is a party of Americans for America.
How is Trump going to find a decent running mate from among the Republicans who have gotten ahead under the old model of sucking up to donors and lobbyists?
Almost any sitting Republican senator or governor would be total counter-programming to Trump’s message. One searches the country in vain to find a half-dozen elected Republicans who have not supported amnesty, job-killing trade deals, Wall Street bailouts — or all of the above. Trump’s message is: I’m leaving the deadwood behind.
We always secretly suspected Republicans were selling out the country for their own interests, but now Trump has flushed them all out. At least the GOP isn’t being subtle. Their position is: No, we will never allow anyone to be president who wants to do something about the border.
The moment Trump chooses his vice presidential candidate, every person in the media will be handed a personalized crowbar to pry daylight between Trump and his nominee.
What do you say about Mr. Trump’s comment 19 years ago in an appearance on Howard Stern? Can we really trust our nuclear codes to a man who likes attractive women?
If Trump picks a typical Republican, the odds are better than even that his nominee will end up withdrawing in order to win the good opinion of The New York Times. …
How much pushing would it take for any of the GOP donor shills to sell out Trump for the media’s admiration? … You could probably get Rubio for a decent bass boat. …
Trump doesn’t need a vice president from the party he’s just buried. …
Donald?
Broski?
Dude! Do not do this thang.
UPDATE! PENCE IT IS!
Hey, a big government Bushian RINO flack is certainly another way to go …
Mr. Trump’s advisers have told national Republican officials that they are preparing to make an announcement with Mr. Pence, according to three people with knowledge of the conversations, who were not authorized to discuss them publicly. His campaign has said that it will unveil a running mate for Mr. Trump in New York on Friday. [read]
