Dem: Perez
Repub: GIN....AAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH...Sessions

Now that I've written it out and it will be recorded, I will probably be wrong and it will either be Warren or Kaine. :(

I don't want Chris ² tie to be the GOP VP simply because it would be hilarious that he became Donald's kinky submissive sex slave for no reason

Why are you guys so up on Sessions?

I understand his stated criteria (Washington experience, foreign policy experience), but Sessions lacks all of the standard qualities of a VP which absolutely still apply to Trump's campaign. He's a shit surrogate, will bomb the VP debate against nearly any of the potential Clinton picks, and is a terrible attack dog. IMO, Trump would be foolish to not choose Christie or Gingrich. They both have baggage, but so does Trump. Both are skilled orators who can (fact based or not) give scathing rebukes of the Democrats and will absolutely rock the VP debate against most of Clinton's potential picks. Sessions, Corker, and Cotton are like Tim Kaine x 1000: boring as shit, crap campaigners, and terrible debaters.

Honestly, Ivanka would be a better pick than all of the other bustas he has to choose from.

Yup. I don't understand the thinking behind Gingrich being a viable choice. He is the human equivalent of toxic waste. No one wants toxic waste near them.

The VP debate is one news cycle. I think Trump is looking for someone that backs him up with conservative credentials and doesn't rock the boat too much. I don't think Trump takes Christie seriously, given the whole fat narrative that has come out in the last few weeks. Gingrich is just toxic.

Jeff Sessions is Trump's closest ally that Trump has any respect for (Christie is a servant that Trump uses), that's the logic.

Sessions is such an extreme racist that it's going to be ridiculous if he picks Sessions though.

Its gonna be Kaine, and probably sessions? I'd love it to be Warren, or Franken. Franken is kind of a dark horse IMO.

Christie would be a pick I could understand for Trump. Another east coast "tough guy," loud, brash white male who likes insulting other people? Sounds like a Trump pick. And he would probably do pretty good in the 1 VP debate.

I honestly think Christie wants something like AG. I think he's smart enough to not want to be on stage every night with Trump. He wants to ride the coattails but not have his name on the same bumpersticker as Trump's. idk, I'm probably wrong.

It is just one news cycle, but it happens to fall at a very consequential time. Having grandpa Sessions get rolled by Warren, Perez, or Bacerra would certainly leave an even worse taste in people's mouths because it'll look like the entire ticket isn't as competent as the Democrats. Say what you will about Christie, but outside of Warren, I don't think the Dems have any VP candidates that will be able to best him in a 1v1 debate.

I do think Trump disrespects Christie because he is fat. Somewhat paradoxically, I think Trump also worries about Christie upstaging him. Sessions lacks these problems, is a solid conservative, and will make Trump look exciting by contrast.

Clinton: Tim Kaine

Clinton is safe, Trump is literally a fucking 100 pile car wreck happening over a six month period, she is playing it safe and not going to jeopardize her election because of energy or something.

Trump: Mary Fallin

A huge issue is the gender gap, Christi his is man servant, Newt is literally going to kill his campaign.

I wish I still had the map I made in school showing Dole beating Clinton. I'm curious how realistic it was. Obviously not very, since Clinton always had a sizable lead in the polls. But I do wonder if I at least came up with a plausible path to victory for Dole in the event he closed the gap in the polls, or I was just randomly giving him states like New York and California.

Meanwhile I'm seeing this racist, tasteless garbage on my Facebook. White boys don't appreciate the thickness.

not gonna embed because it's mean trash and from a FB group called "Heritage not hate. Confederate flag supporters"

https://scontent-dfw1-1.xx.fbcdn.ne...=15d318fae335429b12f19bfec733129d&oe=57F6B59B

I should really unfriend the trash I have on Facebook.

No way. Hillary's gonna pass it on to Chelsea Clinton and thus begin the first American Monarchy and declare martial law. Obama was a test run. #wakeupsheeple

Eh, I could also see this, but I think his options are limited. Fallin is meh. I don't think Martinez would take it. Who does that leave? Haley, Love? Certainly not Palin. That Creek already got shat in. I can see Joni Ernst.
