Trump's VP pick will be Norm Coleman, the bridge collapse loser from

[malaise]

Minnesota

[KamaAina]

1. If bridges are in play, it could also be Christie

[HubertHeaver]

2. He needs Christie.

Much better the bridge be closed before the collapse.

[malaise]

5. Both Christie and Trump will be in court

shortly

[HubertHeaver]

10. We have seriously flawed candidates all around.

I thought it was supposed to be the cream that rose to the top.

[malaise]

3. Christie's bridge is over some seriously troubled water:evilgrin:

[herding cats]

4. Didn't he say when pressed he'd never vote for Trump?

It be fun to watch him have to walk that back. 😄

I think Trump is romancing Susana Martinez, the Gov of NM, personally.

[malaise]

7. Lots of crow will be served

starting last night

[herding cats]

13. Crow is what's on the menu for the NY Republican Gala

Rumor is there will be platters full of crow going around the gala. Just to make sure there's enough for everyone!

[jmowreader]

35. One should be more than enough

[HubertHeaver]

16. Flash!!11! Crows to be named "endangered species"

[malaise]

21. You win the thread:rofl:

[HubertHeaver]

31. Thank you!! Thank You!!! My first!

I'm going to go do backflips---and most likely, hurt myself.

[malaise]

32. Well deserved

[MineralMan]

6. I can't imagine that would be a good choice at all.

Norm Coleman is a nebbish. And there it is. He is a proven loser, and nobody remembers him any longer. I doubt it very much.

[malaise]

8. Trump is already a very bad choice

Name the best ReTHUG choice.

[MineralMan]

9. Hell, he might as well pick Michele Bachmann.

Both are proven losers.

[malaise]

11. Oh Dear

[MineralMan]

12. Well, she is a woman, and is an arch-conservative.

Maybe she's just what he needs in a running mate. As long as he can keep her from opening her mouth to speak, it's all good.

[cali]

14. Not a chance

[malaise]

22. Hey - welcome back

We may disagree often but GD is better for your presence

[leftynyc]

15. I just saw

a report from the NY Times that Ben Carson is helping him pick a VP. An interesting choice I saw earlier on the web was Rand Paul.

[HubertHeaver]

18. Now that's a drum of ice water.

[leftynyc]

19. Interesting choice

and he said he wanted someone with legislative experience. I'd have to look what what Rand has said about donnie to see how easy it would be to walk back.

[leftynyc]

20. Turns out there would be

some nasty stuff to walk back:

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) called Donald Trump an “orange-faced windbag” on Monday, the latest insult in his feud with the GOP presidential front-runner.

“Donald Trump is a delusional narcissist and an orange-faced windbag,” he said on Comedy Central’s “The Nightly Show.”

“Have you ever had a speck of dirt fly into your eye?” he continued, mocking Trump."[It is] annoying, irritating and might even make you cry.
“If the dirt doesn’t go away, it will keep scratching your cornea until eventually it blinds you with all its filth. A speck of dirt is way more qualified to be president.”

Paul also likened Trump to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

“I’m not sure I would say Trump is Hitler – Goebbels maybe,” he said.

Former Texas Rep. Ron Paul said Friday he couldn’t support GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump if Mr. Trump wins the party’s nomination, saying Mr. Trump’s views on the scope of executive authority could surpass those of President Obama.

“No, I couldn’t do that,” Mr. Paul said on Fox Business Network when asked if he would support Mr. Trump, should the billionaire businessman win the GOP nomination. “He’s [the] opposite of a libertarian.”

(normally I wouldn't link to the moonie times but I'm hoping considering the thread, you'll forgive me)

[malaise]

23. Actually Rand Paul is the same White Supremacist

shithound type that they adore

[leftynyc]

34. I posted somewhere else

some stuff Rand has said about donnie. I'm not sure he's going to be able to walk it all back. It was pretty scathing.

[malaise]

38. Good

[Brickbat]

17. Pawlenty was the bridge-collapsing loser. Coleman was a different loser.

[malaise]

25. You're right

Ha - Coleman it is from Trump - Coleman fought against Al Franken right???

[Brickbat]

27. When Paul Wellstone was killed in the plane crash, he was being challenged by Coleman for his senate

seat. Walter Mondale ran in Wellstone's place, the memorial and the coverage went to crap, and Coleman won. Franken challenged and beat him six years later and he's been a private craven asshole instead of a public one ever since.

ETA: Pawlenty was the governor when the bridge collapsed.

[malaise]

28. ThanksI remember that collapse as if it were yesterday

Mixed up the ReTHUG scumbags.

[dembotoz]

24. perhaps rinse penis will have a say as negociated for party support and gotv

[book_worm]

26. I doubt it will be Coleman.

[Hekate]

29. You said he's selling a bridge?

No doubt there will be takers

[JVS]

30. Why would you imagine that?

I'm not seeing a play for Minnesota happening, nor am I seeing Coleman as a way to even make that play.

[yellowcanine]

33. Christie would be a weighty pick.

[jmowreader]

36. Does anyone need a few bread bags?

Trump knows he's going to be running against a woman. In his three-cell intellect he believes women will vote for Hillary because she's a woman (and not because the alternative is a reprehensible troll who does nothing unless there's a lot in it for him), so he has to "balance" his ticket by putting a woman on it.

We know he needs someone with governmental experience, who is staunchly anti-abortion and rabidly right-wing. There are four choices he might look at.

The first is Palin.
Pros: has been a governor, even further to the right than Trump is, worships the ground The Donald walks on.
Cons: the gods do not love the Democratic Party enough to put Sarah Palin on the ballot.

The next name I've heard mentioned is Michele Bachmann.
Pros: (space will be filled in if anyone thinks of one)
Con: she'll be one if the government ever looks close at her husband's so-called clinic.

The third is Susana Martinez.
Pros: probably the most levelheaded of all these women. Has decent backstory.
Con: if you think a Mexican-American woman is going to run alongside a guy whose campaign is built on anti-Mexican xenophobia, you are dumber than you look.

Which brings us to Joni Ernst.

[lonestarnot]

39. Doesn't he need someone more experienced with shooting people in the face?

[wheniwasincongress]

40. I think it might be his own daughter Ivanka

turns 35 in October.

Trump has also said he wants someone who has served politically, and is friends with all the senators and congressmen. Joe Scarborough? They're extremely friendly... 5 wives, 2 men
