  • Here's the deal with women and minorities. If you pick somebody from the conservative side those on the left will react to them like they are traitors. In order to be a black candidate and get the support of black people you really do have to be liberal and Afrocentric. The women vote is not nearly so monolithic but the self-styled feminists who vote for Hillary because they want a woman in the White House probably wouldn't vote for a conservative woman like Condoleezza Rice.

    There would also be a bajillion headlines about "Is Trump pandering with his VP pick"

    It's not really Trump's style, he picks whoever is best regardless of race or gender.

  • I strongly suspect it will be newt, he's been stumping for Trump for a long time now.

    They're both kind of similar, brash and blunt speakers.

    If he wants an establishment Republican he's not a bad choice, it beats many of the alternatives. He did wanna bust up the banks and a couple other good things

    What??? Not even close. Newt is extremely articulate and witty. He destroys any libtard he debates.

    Trump is buffoonish, and has a limited vocabulary.

    Here's how you debate. Newt starts off blunt then expands.

    Trump starts off blunt and remains there.

  • Those of you hesitant to support Donald Trump, would the selection of Newt Gingrich as vice president sway your opinion? Personally Newt is my favorite Republican and would easily fill in any gaps in Trumps grasp of government.

    And he does seem to be angling for it.

    It would be the one time that Newt's history with women would not be brought up. Hillary is married to a womanizer.

  • well, that clinches it....Newt is the right pick...

    actually, I think he needs to pick a woman VP.

    This is who I predict it will be:

    She believes in man-made global warming. You still on board with her?

  • And many people who actually believe the John McCain would be a far better president than Barack Obama yet voted for Obama because of Sarah Palin are disingenuous in my opinion.

    So basically the issue you're describing only goes one way and the left is at fault...

    Yes Woody that's true. At least for the sake of this discussion.

    Do you think I'm mistaken or is this just your, and pardon the expression, knee jerk objection to whatever I post?

    No, she doesn't believe in mmgw. She did, however, agree with the

    pollution cutback on factories, etc. Everybody is against pollution.

    mmgw is a different biz.

    Oh young calfox, how little u understand of our modern insta fact checking world

  • "She also was one of only five Republicans senators who voted yes on a resolution that said human activity is driving climate change."

    Sounds strictly pollution oriented to me. Maybe instead of just spamming google links you should take the time to read some of them

    Right, clearly she's not a republican. Republicans must follow the party line in every way. She's now labelled RINO for life.

    Looking her up for my cal take down, she actually comes off fairly reasonable. So one issue negates her for you?

    absolutely right - I like him as Trumps Vice Pres. too

    makes the trump choice easier for me...

    ****************************************

    I did read some - each one was about how she supported the EPA over a pollution bill.

    The dems in NH agree with me. So she softened her stance - over peer pressure, I suppose.

    Ayotte Fact Check VIDEO: Kelly Ayotte Said She Did Not Believe That Man-Made Global Warming Has Been Proven Without A Doubt
    by Ttaraila on October 29, 2015 in Uncategorized
    Concord, N.H. – Today’s Ayotte Fact Check
    focuses on Kelly Ayotte’s attempt to rewrite her record of undermining New Hampshire’s environment and natural resources.

    Despite Ayotte’s recent attempts to “greenwash” her dismal environmental record – she can’t change the facts. In a 2010 Republican Senatorial primary debate, each candidate was asked if he or she believed that man-made global warming has been proven without a doubt. To which Ayotte replied simply, “

    .”

    “From denying that man-made climate change is a fact to voting to block the EPA from ever having the ability to reduce greenhouse gases, it’s easy to see why Kelly Ayotte has a 23% lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters,” said New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley. “No matter how hard Ayotte tries to ‘greenwash’ her record of protecting tax breaks for big oil while New Hampshire’s environment pays the price, she won’t be able to change the fact that her environmental record is even worse than Scott Brown’s.”

    See AyotteFactCheck.com for more information on Ayotte’s real Washington record of undermining the environment.

  • on this one issue, I wouldn't pick her unless I knew her fudging was simply to

    undermine the dems attack machine in election year fighting.

    I don't like it though, if I can't trust her stances...

  • same with Nikki Haley SC ^
