Who does Trump pick as VP?

I get that a lot of folks would love to see Cruz on the ticket, but does any traditional politician want to be on the ticket with Trump? They more than likely think he will be a disaster - do they want to be associated with that? The media will rip into Trump nonstop. Trump won't care but a traditional politician will not survive that kind of onslaught. Who would sign up to be a a part of that?

So how realistic is a Trump/Cruz ticket and who does he choose if he wins the nomination and Cruz or Rubio don't want to be on the ticket?

Trump just might pick himself to be his VP.
If he ran a kissing booth he'd be his best customer.

People seem to be stuck on Trump's perceived ego. If this were the case, why wouldn't he be running his current organization all by himself? He owns it. He loves himself so much. Why does he have all of those others involved at all when he could just do it alone?

Rubio wouldn't do it... he's the establishment guy now.
Cruz just might. It would set up Cruz for a future bid... but as JALLEN pointed out, would it make him irrelevant?

What strikes me funny about Michael Moore, above, is the expression of self-righteousness, like he is doing something heroic standing there holding a piece of cardboard with some writing on it. Invite Syrian refugees into your 50 room mansion, and your other 8 homes, and you can strike a heroic pose, Michael.

New Yorker Magazine says:

Many of Trump’s supporters are disaffected folks who are only marginally attached to the political process. A good number of them won’t show up at the voting booths.

Uh huh

I'm certainly only marginally attached. I hate the career politicians that make a mess of this country. As for maybe not showing up on voting day, that could happen. It'll be a first because I've always voted, but I guess there's a first time for everything. I think I want to vote for Trump if only because I think he's not as crooked as the others running. The last cycle the free shit crowd voted for one of their own and he's really made a mess of things. Now they want to vote for the first woman running. She seems even more crooked than the current occupant, with a long losing record behind her. At least Trump seems to be a winner in the business sense, something Obama has never been and Hillary only because she "picked" the right stocks in R-kansas. Of course that one seems really crooked and influenced by her husbands position. If we hire Trump and he applies his business sense to running the country, things might turn around. Better chance of that than more of the same.

I'm pretty sure that if the R national committee cheats and somehow gets their babe in the nomination, I will feel disaffected and stay home.

People vote when they think they will make a difference. It is far more likely that those the NYT consider disaffected were not voting because they felt the system was broken. It is therefore much more likely they will vote this time if Trump is running and they see it as a means to fix the system. He might just be motivating the disaffected.
Of course I am pretty sure the NYT thinks the system is fine so they would never consider any of this.

Hay liberals,go ahead and bet the farm in this manor of thinking,then wait for the pucker factor,what a bunch of out of touch fuckers.
News flash,the whole country is tired of commie shit being shoveled down the working mans throat.

So Jeb feels more comfortable being in the rear of the Republican field than the front runner. He says "I feel much better back here" "I feel good about where we are right now"

God, what a moron. And he wants to be President.

Ya, Jeb... We feel much better with you back there too!
3%! Soon... you'll be off the stage!

It's the New Yorker Magazine. Not the New York Times. And they do have a valid point. "Disaffected folks who are only marginally attached to the political process" better know how the primary process works if they want to make a difference.

What you are seeing in print and on TV is the full on break down screaming flailing crying fit that the media is having. Very similar to the three year old child denied his favorite toy in the store. It started off with pouting, escalated to name calling, and now has become a complete and total unmitigated tantrum.

You have to understand what the media wanted, in order to understand their reaction. They wanted Jeb V Hillary. They were salivating over it, mentally masturbating to images of the two political dynasties going head to head in the arena of ideas and gamesmanship. They had butterflies and tremors running up their legs just imagining the ratings and the back story.

And more than any other option, what a Bush V Clinton contest would do, is secure a Clinton victory.

So now you see them out in the open, for what they really are. Three year olds having a fit because it isn't going to script.

Why?

Because Americans are pissed off at the script. They're pissed off at the actors. They're pissed off at the writers.

Trump doing well means that Americans are boycotting the process.

But don't buy into the philosophy that this means they/we won't vote.

It only means we're sick of the media picking the candidates. Not that we don't care, and not that we won't vote.

^ I think so, too. helpless, irritated, tantrums... by the DNC, the GOP, and the Media... years of planning, scheming, and premature backslapping... millions spent, promises made... promptly (and perhaps irreversibly) shunted by Trump's candidacy and it's momentum.

thus far, it's been rather glorious.

I am enjoying the hell out of this.

In an interview with NPR, Obama plays the race card on Trump. Inevitable. At this point Obama has got nothing else. He's holding a deck of 52 race cards. But here is what I found interesting: When I read the article this morning there were 28 comments. 5 were supportive. 23 were critical and negative, and some of them as harsh as what we have to say here on this board. And this is The New York Times. When readers of the Times turn on Barack Hussein, the whole country has turned on the traitor.

If he's turning on disaffected potential voters, they'll probably show up at the primary and general election with bells on. If Trump is going to win, that's how it'll happen.
