1. Maybe he should try

Ghouliani

[TygrBright]

2. EarlG, you gots Chris Schrimpf in there 2x and Scott Walker ain't Goob of OH.... n/t

Also, "Spokesman for Gov. Susana Martinez (R-NM)'s" nose just grew another 6 in. but that's nothing you can fix, izzit?

amusedly,
Bright

[EarlG]

22. Hmm... made a hash of that, didn't I?

Lol. It's fixed, thanks.

[Scuba]

3. Kasich and Wanker have to share a spokesperson? Or is that a typo?

[2naSalit]

4. Some

self-serving prole will ooze out of the muck soon.. and I'm sure there will be a hefty price attached to the word "yes".

[malthaussen]

5. Obviously, he should clone himself.

Only another Trump would be satisfactory as his running mate. I'll leave the field open to "cloning around" jokes.

37. Trump/Barron 2016!

I'm sure that's the only person Donald would think is truly qualified.

Why Trump was his own imaginary spokesman John Barron for a decade

In the 1980s, when reporters called the Trump Organization to request an interview with the boss, they were sometimes referred to a spokesman, instead. That a busy and image-conscious executive such as Donald Trump would place a buffer between himself and the media was hardly unusual, but there was a twist: The spokesman, John Barron, was actually Trump, hiding behind a fake name.

Barron (also spelled “Baron” in some press accounts) appears to have been Trump’s go-to alias when he was under scrutiny, in need of a tough front man or otherwise wanting to convey a message without attaching his own name to it.

Remarkably, Trump kept up the charade for a full decade, as reporters unwittingly quoted Barron as if he were a real person. In a LexisNexis search, the first mention of the name appears on June 6, 1980, in a New York Times report about Trump’s controversial decision to destroy two Art Deco sculptures he had conditionally promised to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In that instance, Trump used the alias to stall for three days before finally giving an interview under his own name; when he did, he told the Times he had been out of town and unavailable (!).

6. Chris Christie is right there, all available, licking Trump's boots.

[Thinkingabout]

7. Maybe we could bring back the Mikey kid.

[basselope]

8. It will still likely be Kasich.

[kevink077]

26. No Kasich

His insults to him have gone over the top. It will never happen. could be Portman though.

[basselope]

30. stranger things have happened

some Reagan guy chose someone who called his policies voodoo..

hell that guy even change from pro choice to pro-life

[thereismore]

9. Dude, put Melania on that ticket. That'll guarantee a woman/immigrant/model vote. nt

[3catwoman3]

10. I have a visceral negative...

...reaction to Scott Walker.

[A Simple Game]

11. Decent pay, nice house, no responsibility, all expenses paid, lots of travel... why not? I'll do it.

After all I would either be forgotten or end up as the President. As far as I am concerned I can't lose.

[d_legendary1]

12. What a surprise! The extremist wing nuts don't want anything to do with

a Reagan Conservative.

[stevenleser]

13. Yet some folks here maintain he can beat Hillary. His unfavorables are much worse than hers.

He has half of the 20% that turns out of the smallest party in the US supporting him and no one else can stand him.

[kevink077]

27. He cannot be underestimated

4 billion dollars can buy a lot of votes.

[chknltl]

14. Caribou Barbie might not be too buisy.

Barring that maybe he could hire a Victoria Secrets spokesmodel to stand by him and smile purty for the Duck Dynasty undecideds.

[Festivito]

15. I smell Omarosa making a comeback. eom

[MarianJack]

16. I suspect that Donald Rump may pick a woman.

But, he'd be hard pressed to find one to run with him.

His running mate is likely to be a Shriver '72 type of pick.

It wouldn't surprise me for him to select someone like our spine of oatmeal senior Senator from Maine, Susan Collins, to be his fellow sacrificial lamb!

PEACE!

[Kablooie]

17. Sarah Palin! Sarah Palin!

[jtuck004]

18. Satan. Though I am not sure the standards aren't too low already.

I wish someone would do a poll, selecting the 'pub candidate a person would most likely vote for.

A real estate swindler from new york, or satan.

I bet their negatives are within 10 points.

[Fritz Walter]

19. Wait. What?

I though Chris Krispy Kreme had that spot promised to him. He's always been loyal, much like this fellow:



And then there's the good Doctor Carson...

Promises, promises!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

20. This guy....

At Last, America First!

Two minutes into his speech before the Center for the National Interest, Trump declared that the “major and overriding theme” of his administration will be — “America first.” Right down the smokestack!

Gutsy and brazen it was to use that phrase, considering the demonization of the great anti-war movement of 1940-41, which was backed by the young patriots John F. Kennedy and his brother Joe, Gerald Ford and Sargent Shriver, and President Hoover and Alice Roosevelt.

Whether the issue is trade, immigration or foreign policy, says Trump, “we are putting the American people first again.” U.S. policy will be dictated by U.S. national interests.

By what he castigated, and what he promised, Trump is repudiating both the fruits of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy, and the legacy of Bush Republicanism and neoconservatism.

23. It will be Chris Christie

Trump-Christie will build walls and close bridges

and call it an open society because everyone will have doughnuts

[IronLionZion]

24. Definitely Sarah Palin

since she did so well last time and is such a maverick

Or another outsider like Ben Carson

[demwing]

28. Trump and Carson sitting in the wings

M.I.S.S.I.N.G...

[47of74]

31. If he manages to wake up in time.

[Herman4747]

25. Please, Donald. Please choose Sarah Palin. Please! nt

[2cannan]

29. Are either Joe "you lie" Wilson or Mark "App Trail" Sanford available?

[Jim Lane]

32. Trump said he wanted a VP with Washington experience. Maybe Jim Webb? (n/t)

[DonCoquixote]

33. a hot candidiate is Rick Scott

and let this son of Florida tell you, he is possibly the one person that can do as much damage as trump, which is why they are a match made in hell.

[Pacifist Patriot]

35. Amen to that!

[pansypoo53219]

34. mr kansas would say yes.

[yuiyoshida]

38. With his Yyuuuge BRAIN

HE doesn't need anyone else.
