Let's choose Trump's VP (1 Viewer)

Trump is going to win the R nomination.  Let's get him the best running mate he can get... 

He might as well go all-in on this circus and choose Ted Nugent.

Who ya go?

 
I've voted R every single year except 2012 when I simply abstained because I knew the outcome before it happened....   but I think this is another abstain year..   Trump?  Seriously?   Un-electable.  I can't believe this is a thing.

 
I think it's Rubio.  Win FL & you win the race.  He also hasn't been too hard on Rubio.

Really? How'd that work out for you? Not To Good. Now you have the opportunity to actually stick it to these recycled losers with an outsider and your plan is to fail to vote? Because you think he's worse than the worst? He's actually accomplished things. Bush did nothing for ya except drain your bank account over his 8 years among other things.

good question.

To pose it another way - Who do you want to be President after Trump gets assassinated?

I agree.  It's either going to be Rubio for the South or Kasich to help win a key state of Ohio.

My wild card is Palin to help pull the female vote running against Clinton.

I'm fairly confident FL goes red.  Rick Scott was like the most hated Governor of all time, and he has won twice.   More people will come out for the Presidential election, but I think the GOP has the upper hand in gerrymandering.

Scott just barely beat (48% to 47%) a former Republican turned democrat (Charlie Crist). Hardly a mandate. Of course, Obama only beat Romney by a few percentage points in 2012. The Hispanic democratic voters in FL have increased much faster then the Hispanic Republican voters - Orlando area Puerto Ricans and younger Cubans. I'd call it a toss-up.

Look... Trump found the perfect storm. He appealed to the masses and was able to cobble together support from the huge field of candidates. I think most R's agree he isn't the ideal candidate.... but he is still a better option than corrupt Hillary or socialist Bernie.

 
Is it really a foregone conclusion that Trump will get the Republican nomination? The large majority of Republican caucuses and primaries award delegates on a percentage basis. Given what we know at the moment in terms of who is still in the mix and polling data (certainly a lot of which will change), at his current run rate, Trump probably wouldn't earn enough delegates to win the nomination outright (if everything played out the same).

The party would likely love for that to happen, then they could come up with an end around strategy to broker the convention and get someone else to be their nominee. It will be interesting to see if candidates hang around and stay in the race in an effort to take delegates away from Trump to try to block his nomination.

 
I posted in the Trump thread awhile back that I could see Trump leaving the VP up to the convention floor to maximize media coverage of the convention and turn it into the biggest circus possible.  I don't know how likely that is, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.
