First of all, Trump isn’t going to pick a woman. Even he must realize how demeaningly he treats them. The only female he’d consider making his VP is his daughter. Secondly, it’s got to be someone submissive, someone whose political hands are smaller than his, metaphorically speaking. Governmental experience is ok, but they can’t know Washington better than him. They can’t be visibly smarter than him. They can’t overshadow him in any respect. They can’t be a businessman who has had any success that could in any way be argued to be superior to Trump’s.

He’ll choose Huckabee, because he’s got a folksy style that doesn’t appeal to the intellect. Trump will choose him and expect that “the Christians” and “the conservatives” will have to support him unconditionally. Under Trump’s orders, Huckabee will turn into a caricature hillbilly snakehandler, and if Trump’s campaign starts to flounder, he’ll try to replace Huckabee with someone else or, more amusingly, he’ll declare war on Huckabee.

Like when he ran as a deficit hawk—yet voted for.every.damn.Obama.stimulus.and.all of Obama’s monetary policies. Plus–Obamacare.

You mean like when Webb did that? That isn’t a demonstration of spine–that is a demonstration of absolute corruption of his political promises and absolute subservience to–Obama.

I couldn’t care less what the MSM says about Donald Trump.

I form my own conclusions based on my own observations and careful study of the man himself—what he has said and done throughout his lifetime, including interviews and biographies.

Trump has made this campaign intensely personal and has shown his strong tendency toward grinding his enemies into the dirt, or trying to. Lots of his supporters think that’s great because it proves he’s tough but they forget that Trump != America. I expect him to unleash the full force of the Executive branch on his petty grudges, as far as he can get away with it, if he’s elected.

“Four more years in the slide to Europeanization is what we face with Clinton. Absolutely the wrong direction, but not an unrecoverable disaster.” – I tend to agree. It’s going to be bad, but with Trump there’s no telling where we might end up. Knowing that he might tweet us into WWIII isn’t a comforting thought. Our economy, our businesses, the world, etc need predictability. Sounds boring, right? I desperately want a boring president . . .

That is echoing the “stuff” the (formerly) “conservative” media was spouting to spin up all the emotion that went into Trump.

We’ve got to get out of that business.

There is not evidence that she will bring “storm troopers”, just like you post elsewhere equating Clinton with a coming “Lenin”.

Gosh.

Four more years in the slide to Europeanization is what we face with Clinton. Absolutely the wrong direction, but not an unrecoverable disaster.

The issue with Trump is that we just don’t know. He is irratic, and that spells chaos. That would be worse than Clinton.

Elsewhere, YOU say he WILL be “autocratic / Caesar”. That is a sure argument that he would be worse than Clinton.

Trump is not my candidate.

The good guy lost.

So, I’m stuck with Trump or the Devil in the deep blue pants suit.

It’s not qute a Hobson’s choice, more towards Sophie’s choice.

Damned either way.

I’m convinced that Hillary — when elected — will have legions of storm troopers within the IRS, EPA, DOJ, SOS, HUD, … and the rest of the alphabet…

PLUS

Google, Hollywood, the MSM, et. al.

I DON’T see those legions enabling Donald Trump.

It’s the Collective that is the peril. Not the top canine.
