It's official: Donald Trump considering Kasich for VP

As official as anything out of Donald Trump's mouth ...
Donald Trump: “I’d Be Interested in Vetting John Kasich” for VP | RedState

I mean, of course he would. Just now on CNN, Wolf Blitzer was interviewing Donald Trump, and asked the question we’ve all been thinking about John Kasich – is he in the running for Trump’s VP given that he’s been playing interference for Trump since New Hampshire?​

Was there any doubt? Christie will be so disappointed.

You've GOT TO get over the bitterness caused by Cruz' defeat.

 

[Veritas]

It's all talk. Trump is trying to be concillatory. Just wait, there's plenty of time to sort these things out. Cruz totally jumped the gun in a desperate move. Hopefully Trump will be careful in his selection. I personally would like to see Suzanna Martinez, Condi Rice or a few others.

This is a thread about John Kasich + Donald Trump.

...and how unfair they were to Cruz.

...and how unfair they were to Cruz.

I don't recall saying that ... except in jest. Politics is blood sport.

I've merely attempted to understand the events as they've unfolded. It's been abundantly clear for some number of weeks now that Kasich was fighting against Cruz, not Trump. Today's events merely add clarity to that.

OK. If all these new threads are just in jest, forget the advice. I for one was fooled.

These are serious threads about serious topics.

Well, which is it--bitterness or jest? .

 

[NightHawkeye]

Looks like we need a reset to the topic ...

This is a thread about John Kasich + Donald Trump.

So that's how he bought off Kasich...

Given Trump's attitudes toward the Bush foreign policy, Condi Rice is not a possibility. She is more likely to support Clinton than Trump.

That would be a first for him...

Hopefully Trump will be careful in his selection.

As careful as he's been in... wait, where exactly has Trump ever been "careful" in this campaign?

I personally would like to see Suzanna Martinez, Condi Rice or a few others.

Wouldn't count on it... Trump's not going to choose anyone who:

1: Knows more than he does
2: Could ever potentially upstage him.

??? This cannot be an issue since in trump's eye's there is no such person on the face of the earth.

Condi would be a great choice...

First or not, Trump was conciliatory toward Cruz in his victory speech.

That's the image he projects... but the insecure little man-child underneath frets over such things every day...

 

[mark46]

Condi would be a great choice...

Kasich or Ernst would be much better.

The battleground will be the rust belt states.

To be even more blunt, the Republican Party has never won the presidency without winning in Ohio.

 

[Belk]

Condi would be a great choice...

She would be an exceptional choice but I wonder if she would take such a spot if offered.

That would be a first for him...

Your Trump hatred is noted. Now back to campaigning for Hillary!
