letting people vote after a VP choice just got cut

Mess!

 

[Plinko]

Newt Gingrich had a ~25% favorable rating and ~60% unfavorable rating when pollsters last asked about him in 2012. Almost as bad as Trump.

Please, please, please pick Newt, Trump!

 

[NeoXChaos]

We dont know that Kaine is out of the running based off some Politico story. Its also highly unlikely Warren gets picked but its 40 people deep despite the stories on her.

If it wasnt for that Politco story you'd all still be Kaine train.

oh man this is great. This is some good avatar fodder too.

[And_Gignac]

The ANGER is real with that Wapo writer.

Curiously, Bernie´s favorables have kept constant, even going up after the California primaries. So whats going on?

The narrative of him getting ditched or being overall disliked by voters is anecdotal, at best.


And yeees at Obama both PRAISING Bernie and DRAGGING Peña Nieto / Trump in a single speech. Truly the Emperor the North American Union needs.

 

[StormBrute]

If your name is not on the list tell me. You have till tomorrow night to be on it. Your choice is FINAL once I submit it.

Clinton: Warren
Trump: Christie

I'm split on Trump between Gingrich and Christie, but I think Christie has been kissing up to him better. I feel like Warren is pretty much a lock for Hillary at this point.

I'm still on the Kaine train.

It's my Sessions pick that I'm more worried about now.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

It doesn't matter if they're both hated. Newt already pointed out something very keen about Trump, which is that he's not going to think about this until two days before the convention. And when he does, the only question on his mind is going to be "who is most qualified and most in line with my thinking to be on board?" The answer is Newt Gingrich. Newt and Trump have been friends for a long time. The fact is that Trump relates more to slimy Newt than he does some fucking heehaw from Alabama.

Bronx-Man (Currently banned because he dank meme'd too close to the sun) told us who he wanted to vote for weeks ago, we're terrible and all forgot. Can he get a possible extension until we find him?

 

[User1608]

Christie would be a big mistake, just another loudmouth.

 

[fauxtrot]

Please, please, please pick Newt, Trump!

Imagine a scenario where Trump picks someone for VP and the Democrats / media start talking about how the VP has higher favorability ratings and is more fit to be president, causing Trump to turn on his own VP pick. I'm salivating.

This honest doesn't seem like it'd be that hard to orchestrate... look at how easily people have found Trump's buttons and he just can't control himself when they're pushed.

And they'll both be working for Trump!

Also, after being stuck at the auto shop for a state safety inspection, I'm starting to see Benji's side of things. Goddamn nanny state, trying to tell me when and where I need to have working blinkers.

MS got rid of its inspection requirement

Spoiler

after an investigative journalist found that over half of the state legislature had expired inspection papers. Instead of updating their own records, they just eliminated the practice.

 

[Emarv]

I'm still on the Kaine train.

Yeah, I'm worried about my Sessions choice too. I had hoped Manafort was smarter than putting known losers like Gringrich and Christie on the ticket.

 

[DataStream]

Clinton: Warren
Trump: Santorum

The next PoliGAF game after Veepstakes is going to be the Electoral College Map Sweepstakes.

What's a fair cutoff date for map submissions?

Map should be in by the end of July. Any later and the polling will start to solidify.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Nobody cares enough about Birdie whoever to form an unfavourable view. Let alone poll for it. It's like you having an unfavourable view of my grandpa. You don't know him. Also he's already dead.

What did Poopyshitshow say that makes Kaine unlikely now? I have been busy laughing at British stupidity.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

I'm currently visiting the great state of Ohio and every issue I'm finding with it I'm personally blaming Kasich. Nobody I'm with knows who Kasich is

 

[Spoiled Milk]

What did Poopyshitshow say that makes Kaine unlikely now? I have been busy laughing at British stupidity.

Kaine took hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal bribes.

 

[Thequietone]

What did Poopyshitshow say that makes Kaine unlikely now? I have been busy laughing at British stupidity.

He received $160,000 in gifts from various sources. While legal in PA it might look bad if Hillary picks someone who looks corrupt. While I don't think it necessarily eliminates him, she'd be a little stupid in picking him with this anti-establishment trend going on.

 

[eBay Huckster]

I live in the state of Ohio and every issue I've found with it I've personally blamed on Kasich for the last 6 years

Oh my.

Two knowledgeable sources tell NBC News Gingrich is indeed being vetted for Trump VP.

👌

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Oh my.

Sam Wang has been the one keeping my expectations low so far. If he's saying tihs...well, my hype my run away with me.

 

[whyamihere]

👌

So like if your main argument is that your opponent is morally compromised (sorry, "crooked"), how the hell can you choose Newt as your VP?

Didn't Sam Wang mispredict the 2014 midterm rout by a large margin though?

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Ah, yes. Very true. Hype back in check. I still don't think there's a chance the Dems get the House.

 

[B-Dubs]

Man, Gingrich would be a terrible pick. Who likes Newt Gingrich?

What do you mean terrible? It's the best pick we could possibly hope for!

 

[minor effort]

Man, Gingrich would be a terrible pick. Who likes Newt Gingrich?

This would be an amazing pick for anyone running against this ticket. I'd love to see Trump pick Gingrich.

 

[johnsmith]

So Tim Kaine gets a few gifts and he's disqualified for vp but Hillary Clinton gets millions from Wall Street and Saudi Arabia and she's good to be president? How is that fair?

Spoiler

/s

 

[theprodigy]

Everyone was off at least a little bit, given that Republicans outperformed the polls that year.

 

[shem935]

Lack of self reflection or introspection would do the trick I think.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Donald Trump’s campaign has begun formally vetting possible running mates, with former House speaker Newt Gingrich emerging as the leading candidate followed by New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. But there are more than a half-dozen others being discussed as possibilities, according to several people with knowledge of the process.

Oh, would you look at this! And just like that, we have a giant list of losers:

Newt

It is the 90s

There's no questioning it now
