Reminder that:
>Kasich
>Rick Scott
>Susanna Martinez
>Cruz
>Rubio
>Rob Portman
>Nikki Haley
Have all said that they will NOT accept to be Trump's VP. They are not options. Ben Carson is also on Trump's VP selection committee, and therefore will not be the choice.
This leaves a few candidates that meet Trump's criteria (politician, good with the military, bipartisan ability, can help draft legislation):
>Gingrich
>Jim Webb (War hero; fmr. Senator of Virginia; fmr. Undersecretary of the Navy under Reagan)
>Kelly Ayotte (Sen, NH; Armed Services Committee)
>Jeff Sessions (Sen, Alabama)
>Ron Johnson (Sen, Wisconsin; also Armed Services Committee)
It is most likely not going to be a governor, and I believe Trump said it will not be a general, which eliminates Mattis and Petraeus.
>>73053997
Also: Presidential nominees tend to not reveal any people that are being seriously vetted on their shortlist early on, and tend to float random names of people they want on their good side rather than people they are seriously considering. Keep this in mind. This is probably why Kasich and Portman were floated, they are needed for Ohio on the campaign trail.
It'll be Webb, kek wills it
Donald Trump Jr.
>>73053997
>Gingrich
Doubt it, he keeps denying.
>Jim Webb (War hero; fmr. Senator of Virginia; fmr. Undersecretary of the Navy under Reagan)
Trump said it will be a Republican, sorry Spiderwebbs.
>Kelly Ayotte (Sen, NH; Armed Services Committee)
Literally 0 tactical advantage in the GE.
>Jeff Sessions (Sen, Alabama)
Same as above, it's not like AL is a swing state.
>Ron Johnson (Sen, Wisconsin; also Armed Services Committee)
Literally who?
Finally, a sensible VP thread. Hope it's Webb. Trump did say he would pick a Republican, but that could have just been to keep the peace with the party so soon after winning. Answering "no" to being questioned on whether you'll definitely pick a Republican so soon after the RNC reluctantly admitting defeat would be crazy.
>>73054484
Picking a VP to target a certain state is not something that is done, and for good reason. It doesn't work. There's a reason why the last two VPs have come from safe states for their respective parties and every VP since the 1960s hasn't just been the governor of Florida or Ohio.
i hope it's a woman. i'm afraid it's scott brown.
>>73054690
It could be. He seems like an utter tard, so let's hope not. Literally Male Palin.
>>73054690
that said, women I'd be okay with seeing are joni ernst and shelley moore capito. ernst is a veteran but a bit too close to the koch brothers for my liking. she has some wacko positions like arbitrary eliminating some federal departments. capito on the other hand is well-known for her bills about trade and finance. it would strengthen an area trump is already strong in. she represents west virginia, an area hit hard by the economic downturn and almost certainly will be won by trump anyway.
>>73054690
>>73054853
no, actually now that I look at it the fact that he was mentioned by Trump so early and the fact that he supports gun control makes it seem unlikely.
>>73053997

rather than any specific policy positions, I think the fact that brown lost miserably in 2 different states renders him unlikely. trump's campaign is all about "winning", after all.

I really hope they don't force a neocon shill in as VP.
>>73055233
She's not even been a Senator for a year. That's who becomes president after Trump is assassinated? Palin all over again.
>>73055129
It's not like a crossparty ticket didn't come very close to happening in 2008 or anything. A lot of people are talking about it and Manafort recently got asked about it.
Also it's nothing like suggesting he'll pick Sanders. Webb is pro-gun, anti Obama trade deal, anti-Iran deal, left the GOP over Bush's wars like Trump, hard on China, wants to expand the military, wants to secure the border, and generally ticks all of Trump's boxes. Trump has also spoken highly of him. It's retarded to assume he won't be considered just because he ran as a Dem, the guy has more in common with Trump than most of the Republican field did.
>>73054484
We all know the real VP boys
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAsVsyuAj0k
Assuming Trump sticks to picking a Republican, which I think is a fairly reasonable option, I would say it could realistically be:
Wildcard (most likely, between the amount of bridges burned in the primary and the amount of people Trump as already assigned to other roles)
Newt Gingrich (relatively likely, but Newt probably just simply cannot be bothered, but it would be a smart and sensible choice for both of them)
Ben Carson (relatively likely, the two have very similar views and get along well, also minority appeal)
Ted Cruz (very unlikely but would be very tempting for Trump)
Marco Rubio (not quite as unlikely but still very unlikely. Would sound good in theory but I doubt it would really help him at all in the long run)
Sarah Palin (unlikely but he may be tempted to chip into the woman vote any way he can)
>>73053997
he should choose arnold schwarzenegger
>>73055558
Did you even read the OP? Ben Carson is on the VP selection committee, he's not being picked. Cruz is not unlikely, he's impossible. You can't brand somebody as an incompetent liar for months and then put them on a ticket. Rubio has outright said he would not accept.
>>73055518
kek. Got so caught up in Cruz imploding that I completely forgot about roboto.
>>73055558
Rubio is more likely than Carson because Trump already has the black vote, more Latino vote would help in the GE since there are 13 million more "hispanic citizens" to vote this election
>>73055598
Arnie is a foreigner, he can't be a VP.
Bobby Jindal.
On paper he is a really solid choice and he is very well spoken.
I can't see trump picking someone who isn't good at public speaking.
Has Fatfuck McWarrant been ruled out yet?
Hopping it's not him
He should pick Ezola Foster.

>>73055720
>>73055685
I dont see it as too much of a stretch that Carson could still be picked, despite being in the selection committee. Im sure there is no law against it. If Trump and the committee decide that they cant find anyone they like enough then the could certainly start from scratch and go with Carson.
Like I said though, it will most likely be a surprise pick, picked by the committee.
He should choose mange west and sure up the minority votes.

You guys know that Trump can't win the electoral college right? He can't win Virginia,Nevada, How do you think he is going to win the electoral college? He has no path to 270. How is he going to make up the deficit? He always comes up to votes short. Is he going to be able to flip any blue states?
>>73056070

why? wouldnt he drag in black and millennial votes?
>>73056070
I think I agree with you. Trump has been doing things 'wrong' for his whole campaign so far, and it has only made him stronger.
It seems like he is going to fall back on a typical general election strategy now and it worries me. He got this far and did so well because he gave zero fucks and came into the race like a wrecking ball. This is why people like him, and this is why he got so many votes from people who have never voted before.
If it aint broke, dont fix it, as the idiom goes.
>>73056067
I guess going to Jail after getting stumped is the worst yet
>>73056271
No, he won't. The Republican ticket could be Martin Luther King Jr. and Colonel Sanders and black people would still vote for the Democrats.

This is the guy Trump put in charge of the VP pick.
What an asshole.
>>73056271

>>73056311
>I think I agree with you. Trump has been doing things 'wrong' for his whole campaign so far, and it has only made him stronger.
See here's where a bit of thinking might make things clearer.
Trump has been doing the wrong things... for the general elections.
He's been doing exactly the right things to win over the batshit crazy republican primary voters who lap up his mindless empty slogans.
Does a VP even have any power? Other than becoming president if the current one becomes unable to rule or dies?
>>73053997
Please stop pretending to be knowledgeable. VP will be Krispy Kreme without a doubt. He's just making a show of it.
He can't pick a VP the establishment could work with, or he will just be assassinated first week.
>>73056703
No, the VP is just one of the President's closest advisors and very rarely has the responsibility to break ties in votes in the Senate. They also do foreign visits sometimes.
>>73056783
You mean impeached.
>>73056456
>>73056569
You underestimate how much a black person counts when trying to obtain black votes.
Blacks are just like us. They have the same basic instincts of feeling good about their own race, and distrusting of other races.
They see a black face and it comforts them, because it is like them. This is, for many, more important than policy, because it is human nature, and creates an impression in an instant.
Obviously this doesnt sway everyone, but it is a simple but very effective tool. We are ALL racially prejudiced to some degree, whether we like to admit it or not. Its in out DNA.
This is why Bernie can do anything and everything in his power to please blacks and they still wont vote for him. He isnt fucking black.

Christie has no ties to the military. Trump has specifically said that he wants that, and also he wouldn't have been dragged out on the campaign trail already if he was being chosen. Christie wants AG.

So those black folk, who are just like us, do they have memories like us too?
Because if they do, why are they going to vote for a guy who retweets white supremacists and refuses to say he doesn't want their support?
You think maybe there will be ads on TV of Trump pretending he doesn't know who David Duke is?
Good luck with that.
>>73054532
Since when does he speak tactically when dealing with the RNC? If he had any intention of reaching outside the party (if it had come up in conversion even once), he would've said some shit like

Trump will have so much dirt on Hillary that she wont go for that kind of tactic. She will go for cheap shots, she will try to make him stumble in the debates and contradict himself and make himself look like a fool.
But, if she has any sense (which I think she does) she will stay the hell away from the past, cause she knows full well that no one has a past as checkered as hers.

Considering how many Republicans that actually meet Trump's criteria are flat-out refusing to be picked and that Trump's team is being asked about it by the media now, it's growing more and more likely. Still pretty unlikely unless the memes are actually true and Trump actually fucking comes here.
>>73057669
It didn't stick the first time, it won't stick in the GE. Hillary is a 70 year old southerner and it would probably be pretty easy to dig up such connections on her, even if they're distant. Whatever is brought up would probably be way more valid than accusing the pretty much dictionary definition of Yankee businessman born and raised in NYC of somehow having fucking Klan connections.

>>73057669

It's a good thing that party affiliation is permanent then. It's not like Webb didn't used to be a Republican or anything.
>>73058396
I think he's planning to register Republican and fully endorse Trump once Hillary has the nom. As much as I like the "crossparty ticket" take on it I don't think it's really correct to consider Webb a Dem anymore, he all but left the party.
David Duke
>>73057669
>>73057574
Lol, so much butthurt from this sack of shit.
Trump just took down the entire GOP establishment. He didn't even do it using his wealth, he did it using creative moves beyond what anyone could comprehend at the time. Even you have to admit that his calculations were god-tier.
You think this guy can't be Clinton? Well, Good. Luck. With. That. Here's a list of things people have said about Trump so far:
Trump's comments on illegals were going to do him in.
Trump's comment on McCain was going to do him in.
Trump's comment on Meghan was going to do him in.
Trump's insults to women, specifically Rosie, were going to do him in.
The people would leave Trump over time.
Trump insults of other candidate were going to turn the voters off.
Trump talking about getting schlonged was the last straw.
Trump has a ceiling of 30%
Trump has a ceiling of 35%
Trump cannot win 50% of the vote.
Trump sexually assaulted his wife.
Trump has had multiple bankruptcies.
Trump is a draft dodger.
Trump insulting Mrs. Bush was going to be his undoing.
Trump was a poor businessman.
Trump mimicking a handicap reporter was his end.
Trump mimicking an Indian was his Waterloo.
Trump plead guilty to redlining against blacks in the 70's.
Trump is a sexual predator.
Trump lied about seeing Muslims cheer on 9/11
Trump is unAmerican for using religion to see who gets in.
And now, here you are implying Trump can't beat clinton. Good. Luck. With. That.

is hillary endorsed by a bunch of klan and white nationalists?

It wasn't a rally, it was a full-on riot, which innocent bystanders tend to be arrested in, especially when they happen in extremely cramped and crowded cities. Fred Trump was not charged.

Hopefully Ben Carson gives him the black vote.
>>73059088
>things that work in the republican primaries
I dont think you have been paying much attention at all.
None of those things should have worked in the Republican primary.
It was primarily Republican commentators who kept saying he was finished.
Trump wasn't appealing to the Republican core, he was carving out his own niche of disgruntled Republicans and disgruntled people in general who either never voted before or were swing voters or independents.
There is no reason to believe that this kind of tactic can't work in the general, especially given Hillary's own unfavourability ratings and the amount of discord in the Democratic party.
Also that 67% is not set in stone. Watch as it drops, because I assure you it will.

When choosing a VP, the question is "who will get me more votes?"
choosing a moderate like krispy kreme, Rubio, or Kaisich gets him nothing, since people who like them don't exist
I think his best best is to choose a big conservative (Sessions, Cruz, Rand, etc.), since that would allay the fears of the conservative right who hate him and possible get them to vote vs abstaining/3rd party
>>73053997
Gingrich is a good choice. He's a deal-maker, much like Trump. He's responsible for getting Clinton to pass Workfare, for example. (Incidentally, Workfare was first introduced by Kasich, which is interesting to me if no one else).
The dark horse selection will be the governor of Iowa. Longest serving governor is US history, he didn't jump on the shit on Trump train when everyone in the establishment were. Family man, religious, Midwestern values... he balances out the ticket well in everything except oppression points.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. Cruz was smart to pick a female for his VP to try to steal Hillary's vote, but it was too little too late, unfortunately. She got on the sinking ship just as the rat was jumping off.
Trump picking a suitable female VP would be a smart move. I'm not extraordinarily worried about Trump's chances against Hillary, but why take the chance when you can easily stack the odds in your favor?

>>73060681
But Boehner pretty much retired from politics after he got fired. Until the Obama video, he had kept very low profile. Why would he suddenly start commenting on the presidential race unless he had some ulterior motives?
>>73059723
It doesn't even take hardline conservatives for that. I'm moderate as hell and would have walked to the polls with two broken legs just to vote for literally Lucifer in opposition of Hillary. Personally I've despised that woman for a long time. Many people have.

Is there anything to this historically? Cause in Sweden most politicians seem to say "no, not interested" to most positions just to seem humble and not power-hungry. Maybe they are more honest in the US.

Newt was on Hannity and didn't rule it out. He got asked about potential VP picks and he said he would definitely consider it.
No one would say yes to such a question, and the rumours + his background, answer to the question and how he supports Trump tells me its very likely to be Newt.
Unless he becomes Chief of Staff.

Of these Susanna Martinez seems the best.
She's a politician from the Southwest, she's got cred in caring about borders, and is female and Hispanic which will quell fears about bigotry.
This will actually allow a Trump administration more freedom to do what needs to be done.
I was pushing Sanders because it would be kekworthy, but Susanna Martinez is looking good.

The VP has to be able to legally serve as President. Schwarzenegger was born in Austria and didn't become a US citizen until 1983. He's only eligible for Governorships and Congress. Although he could be a cabinet member or ambassador.
>>73064764
Wasn't he already pretty much named Homeland Security secretary?
>>73064683
He's not American enough. Even though two Cubans apparently are. Arnold is the most American man to live since George Washington and he can't run for POTUS? That's some bullshit.
>>73064837
They don't even like Boehner there.
>>73064892
Doesn't matter as long as he's from there.

Military Cred? What good is that? Don't go to war unnecessarily, then listen to your Generals until it's won.
>>73064930
That's ridiculous. VPs don't guarantee states, and they are not selected because of that normally. Otherwise the Republicans could have just won every election since the 1960s by making giving the VP spot to the sitting governor of Florida or Ohio every single time. Boehner didn't even hold statewide office, he represented one tiny part of the state.

God. How fucking stupid do you have to be to watch Trump do everything that everyone thought was "impossible," until he did it, and then still drivel on about how it's "impossible," for him to do this or that.
>>73065082

>>73065279
He's too busy chasing the Illuminati.
>>73058715
That list of stuff is why he won't get elected. I've thought all along that he's been wanting to sabotage his own campaign. He doesn't want to be president if he has to compromise and work with others. He just wants the job if it becomes a massive dick sucking exercise where he gets constant blowjobs. /pol/ is pretty happy to oblige with this. I don't think he wants a job as an international diplomat, mediator, compromise agent, and legislator. I think he just wants fame, acclaim, and recognition.
Look at who he appointed for his presidential campaign team. He didn't go for experience. He went for people who wouldn't challenge him and would reinforce his own beliefs. He'll do the same with the VP, if he gets that far. I think that the key attributes will be:
- younger
- not too brash, loud, or assertive
- willing to do political dirty work for the boss
- somewhat maverick and surprising
- very skilled with the media and communication
I would expect it's not going to be a career Republican politician. I think it might be someone surprising. Is there a younger version of Charlton Heston available? Maybe Chuck Norris or Sylvester Stallone are options. Maybe a talkshow or cable TV host? Ann Coulter?
>>73065279
this would be a great pick, because they wouldn't dare assassinate trump then, because ventura is even more anti-establishment.
>>73065410
he wanted someone who could take care of congress and the senate.
>>73065278
Huntsman says too many things that make sense to be VP.
>>73056703
VP are the President closest advisor and assist Senate votes, breaking any ties.

Ventura has backed a wide variety of independent candidates regardless of politics, including Ron Paul. A Trump/Ventura ticket could not meme the vote any harder aside from picking goddamn Vince McMahon, and that might be their best chance at picking up jaded Sanders voters.

Trump has done so many things people say "you can't" fo that conventional wisdom is irrelevant.
All he has to say is that calling him a liar was just calling him out on his political spinning, which every politician does.
Cruz also would bring these #NeverTrump conservatives (not establishment members) back into the fold and keep more of the right leaners on his side as he moves leftward temporarily to get the Bernie voters.
While I don't think Cruz will get it (he's probably being vetted for SCOTUS), he's still a viable VP option. His organizational and debate skills will come in handy both in the general and during the presidency.
