can make.

His ego will not let him pick someone he can not fire.

1. completely nonsensical post.

4. Why?

2. I keep thinking he will pick his daughter Ivanka.

Because he is an idiot that way.

But no matter who he picks, that person will be subservient to him, which will satisfy his ego just fine.

5. He has a Hobson's choice

Putting aside the proposition that anything can happen which is a childish world view it is much more likely than not he will lose the general election. He can go out as a loser or a quitter; neither can be an attractive option for a narcissist whose ego is as big as his buildings.

6. IMO, Palin is his only choice, or the only one that wants and needs it..

7. So his massive ego can't pick a VP but will

allow him to quit running for president and walk away in defeat after winning the nomination? How does that work?

[CK_John]

9. You believe he cares, that is giving him too much credit.

10. I believe he's a narcissist incapable of doing anything

that would hint that he's not beloved by all. He's not going to quit,he may be maneuvered out, but he won't go quietly and he will do massive damage if his ego takes a hit.

12. I believe he will be replaced by the Gov of SC.

8. All I can say is that I think your crystal ball badly needs polishing

11. We'll see.

Some men see things as they are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were, and ask why not.

13. I laughed at the story about McConnell saying Trump needed to pick a highly experienced

and very knowledgeable person for VP. Yes, that might be what Donald needs, but that's the opposite of what Donald wants. If the HEAVK person is really that smart, then he'd be at the top of the ticket, wouldn't he? Donald's position at the top is proof that he himself is the smartest.

And what HEAVK person wants to sign on for inevitable ridicule and abuse from an idiot like Trump? If they think they can be the puppet-master, they will soon be disabused of that notion. Maybe it's more likely that Donald will run through several VP picks between the convention and the election.

14. IMO, I have posted that he may cut a deal were he will be VP and

the GOP will put up a doormat candidate like Romney.
