Picking an establishment candidate for vp did Kennedy in and damn near cost Reagan his life so the establishment elitist easily controlled vp would take overIf any of the supposed front runners are picked I am not voting for Trump the bumper sticker is coming off the truck the yard sign in the trash and the shirts sold. No way I am voting for Gingrich,Pence,Christie,Flynn etc etc I MIGHT consider Joni Ernst I will be more than happy with Sessions or Patrick Buchanan.
I will NOT vote for Hillary or Stein or Johnson I despise them all for different reasons and no I do not care if I'm wasting my vote or helping to elect Hillary bc Trump by picking an establishment stooge is betraying those supporters who love his wild streak and non pc attitude he mine as well be Bernie sanders kissing Hilary's ass it's the same thing so anyone know anything about the constitution party candidate? I might just write in the American freedom party candidate but will YOU still vote for trump if he picks a vp you don't like?
You HAVE to consider, the VP is essentially a powerless position in America. Think of how much Joe Biden has influenced anything in the past 8 years? Many times, a political party has intentionally selected their "thorn in the side" as the VP, just so that they get them out of the way. That's how we ended up with Teddy Roosevelt and Harry Truman as presidents.
I look at the VP as someone who will preside over the Senate and help steer the president's agenda. They're not going to be instrumental in policy decisions for the most part. It's basically a powerless position unless something happens to the president.
I love Joni Ernst but she is still wet behind the ears in Washington. She is not ready to be president or VP in my opinion... maybe in 4 years or 8 years... just not now. I personally think Trump's BEST choice would be either Newt Gingrich or Ted Cruz. I would love to see either one of them presiding over the Senate and pushing President Trump's agenda. I think they could hold their own in a debate with anyone Hillary picks. They are smart men who have been around the block and know how to handle things. If something should happen to the president, I would feel confident with them taking over the helm.
The positives of either of them would be to bring aboard a whole lot of conservatives who are lukewarm on Trump. I think that he HAS to find some way to unify the party somewhat and I think that sort of pick, as bold as it would be, would do just that. You have to remember, MOST of Trump's supporters are dedicated to voting for Trump no matter what... doesn't matter what he says or does... they are 100% behind the man. They aren't going to abandon him over his VP pick.
I know that in 2008, people said... We can't have Obama as president or it's over! They said again in 2012... We can't re-elect Obama or it's over! But seriously.... IF we elect Hillary Clinton this time, we will never see our country again. Anything resembling our country will be gone for good. The Supreme Court is already teetering on progressive liberal disaster. Give the Democrats 4 more years in the White House and it's too late to save it. Seriously... this time it's really NOT a scare tactic, it's fucking reality... Listen to them! They are ready to do away with our Bill of Rights and turn us into a purely Socialist nation.
