Trump floats Scott Brown as potential VP

Speaking to a crowd at a Portsmouth, N.H., rally hosted by Scott Brown on Saturday, Donald Trump said the former senator would make a “very good” vice president.

After Trump asked Brown whether he would consider running for public office again, a member of the audience floated the idea of a Trump-Brown ticket in 2016.

“Vice president – hey, that sounds like it could, hey, hey, very good,” Trump responded.

“Hey, you know what? And he’s central casting. Look at that guy. Central casting,” he added. “He’s great. Great guy and a great, beautiful, great wife and family. So important.”

Brown hosted Trump in the Granite State as a part of his “No BS Backyard BBQ” series. He will also hold a rally with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) this weekend.

The former Massachusetts senator relocated to New Hampshire to challenge incumbent Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) for her seat in 2014, but lost in a close race.

He won a special election in 2010 to succeed former Sen. Ted Kennedy, who passed away in office, but was ousted by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in 2012.

Trump probably feels as though Brown will evolve on that issue like he has...on everything.

Hey stop laughing, it could happen. Pigs could fly out of my ass too but it could happen.

 

[RB Martin]

That would be a "game ender" for me!

 

[pinkelsteinsmom]

NO!

You're the main drawn at a rally hosted by Scott Brown.
Somebody suggests Scott Brown would make a good VP.
And you'r going to disagree?
Sure you are.

If you're a conservative you say "we're not at that stage of the campaign yet."

Rumor has it he's floating John Kasich as VP also.

 

[The Cub]

My first thought was the statement was another "in your face, Ted Cruz!"

Excellent point.

Let's not all get our panties in a wad here... It's a long time till we get to the convention.

 

[Ragnarok]

I don't know why...

I just have a bad gut feeling about Trump.

 

[Nowski]

The greatest conservatives of all time were Senators Jesse Helms(R-NC),
and Strom Thurmond(R-SC).

They have both stepped out into eternity, so alas, there are no conservatives to vote for.
What a ticket that would have been!

Buy more ammo is my suggestion. They are going to put into office, whomever they believe
will further the one world order agenda. At this point in time, I still believe that the so
called election, is the Hildabeast's to loose.

God help us, and God save the Republic.

Regards to all,

Hmmm, I have a bad feeling about the whole Republican party.... Except Trump.

I even had a dream a few weeks back about Trump, in the dream he and I went fishing together.....

 

[Shacknasty Shagrat]

Excellent point.

Let's not all get our panties in a wad here... It's a long time till we get to the convention.

When John Kennedy was seeking the nomination, half the Democrat Senators and all the Democrat Governors thought they had been picked for the Vice Presidential slot.
It is good to be polite to ones host.
There will be others who note how Trump handled this and be eager to invite him to another rally. He won't ask for a lot of money to appear, you should pick up donors and donations and big time publicity, maybe a clip with some favorable words from Trump.
And the Dems and FemiNazis figure Mr. Brown is not pro choice enough for them, 'Brown said he was in favor of abortion rights but against partial birth abortion and federal funding of abortion. He said he was for “a strong parental consent notification law.”'. see link below at factcheck.org.
Too bad, Mr. Brown, to be caught up with idealogues and disinformation.

Let's see, Neither Massachusetts nor N.Y. will fall into the GOP electoral column in 2016, period. Likely none of the NE states with the possible exception of Maine would go there either.

Someone please tell me what the upside would be should Trump, if nominated, picked Scott Brown to run on the ticket with him. Both seem enamored of themselves (remember Scott's Playgirl pinup?), hold liberal to moderate stands on social issues and do absolutely nothing to create a geographic advantage by balancing the ticket by offering persons from two different regions of the nation. No national presidential election in American history has ever won a presidential race on a ticket headed by two native northeasterners.

Just as Trump loves to bash anyone entrenching on his lead in the polls, he also openly courts people he has no intention of asking to be his running mate should he win the nomination. That news will be held back as a big surprise - more Trump's style: Keep 'em guessing and shock theater combined.

 

[Buick Electra]

It could be as you say SS, only time will tell. Yet I have to say if Trump were to pick Brown, I'll be staying home and not voting.

Which is why using a left wing website like factcheck.org is bogus.

Brown always voted FOR funding Planned Parenthood. Period. He supports it and that is undeniable.

Same logic as Obama picking Biden; everyone asked why he selected that moron.

Why?

Because he will take orders and can be CONTROLLED.

1999 Tim Russert Interview with Pro-Choice Donald Trump which Defines his “New York Values” (VIDEO)

Trump at one point was wholeheartedly pro-choice, including partial birth abortion as this meet the press interview shows.

Trump has been quite clear that he will not say anything about VP or other picks until he is candidate. IMHO he was being polite. What was he going to say, "No effing way"?

 

[Wise Owl]

How many times has Trump been asked who he will pick as a running mate? Dozens of times. He always says he will wait till he gets the nomination.

There are a lot of rumors floating around. And they are just that. Rumors. He was being nice to Brown. That's it. Brown was the host. End of sentence.

JGF.......you are really trying hard to diss Trump today. Not working with those who are supporting him tho. Especially those of us who have watched and listened to ALL of his interviews and speeches. Even the times he is on regular tv like SNL and what's his name show, (guy at 11 pm. ) (forgive me, I don't do names well anymore)

 

[Dennis Olson]

JGF, it would seem to me that recently, you've turned against Trump. You've been posting essentially all negative stories about him. What gives?

 

[Buick Electra]

JGF, it would seem to me that recently, you've turned against Trump. You've been posting essentially all negative stories about him. What gives?

I think either the negative news about Cruz has gotten to him, so he'll show the Trump supports 'what for' or maybe Cruz is paying JGF to be his apologist......with a loan from GS.

 

[JF&P]

As sharp and aware as JGF is, I'm surprised he is an advocate of Cruz..... Meanwhile It's clear to me that Cruz isn't trust worthy.

 

[JohnGaltfla]

JGF, it would seem to me that recently, you've turned against Trump. You've been posting essentially all negative stories about him. What gives?

I will still vote for him if Rubio and/or Bush are still in the race when Florida rolls around, as I've stated since day 1.

However his attack first strategy on Cruz WITHOUT provocation other than falling behind in several Iowa polls by adopting the Alex Jones woo-woo attack model is beneath conservatism and worthy of contempt. If he had challenged Cruz on the issues, I would applaud. However he made it personal. That's Obama and Clinton like and we do not need more of that crap ever again.

 

[Dennis Olson]

Agreed

 

[sunny225]

Y'all are still going to vote??

 

[Mixin]

It's not true that Trump attacked (with or without provocation).

Trump was asked by a WaPo reporter what he thought about the issue. Trump said he heard there was a question about it and Cruz should get it straightened out.

That is what he has always said: "You have a question hanging over your head; you need to get it cleared up."

JGF's Florida rep is just dying to cause trouble for Cruz, as is that guy from Vermont whom I posted about.

Citizenship Questions Continue to Follow Cruz
by Patrick Svitek
Nov. 29, 2015

U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Florida, promised he would launch a legal challenge to Cruz’s eligibility if the senator wins the GOP presidential nomination.

“The Constitution says natural-born Americans, so now we’re counting Canadians as natural-born Americans?” Grayson said on Fox News Radio. “How does that work?

“I’m waiting for the moment that he gets the nomination and then I will file that beautiful lawsuit saying he’s unqualified for the job because he’s ineligible,” Grayson added. “Call me crazy, but I think that the president of America should be an American.”

The abortion issue is the only issue that I am struggling with in my support for Trump. At least Ted Cruz respects the life of the unborn, no mater how that life began.

Trump's stand on killing an unborn baby for the sins of the father bothers me. As much as I like him, I will probably not vote for him, unless he changes his mind on abortion. How can anyone with a heart support killing a full term baby....unless both baby and mother would die?


Trump, unlike some of the other conservative candidates, supports killing an unborn baby at ANY TIME DURING PREGNANCY.....if the baby was conceived in a terrible way.

Donald Trump's stand...
http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Dona...p_Abortion.htm
Donald Trump...
Ban late abortions; exceptions for rape, incest or health
What does Donald Trump believe? Social Issues: Abortion should be limited.
Describing himself as "pro-life," Trump told Bloomberg News in January that he believes abortion should be banned at some point in pregnancy, with exceptions for rape, incest or life of the mother. Snip~

http://prolifeprofiles.com/
Mike Huckabee is a leader in America's personhood movement. Because "exception" means to support the intentional killing of an innocent child, Mike Huckabee opposes all "exceptions" and he likewise opposes efforts to regulate the killing of any child. He constantly reaffirms to the public the foundation of our national liberty, that all of us are endowed from our Creator with the unalienable right to life.

"I Am For the Exceptions" (i.e., For Killing Some Babies): On August 11, 2015, during CNN’s New Day program Donald Trump publicly denied the Personhood of the unborn by confessing he believes in exceptions for rape, incest and the (now proven moot issue) life of the mother. "I am for the exceptions. You have the three exceptions. I'm for the exceptions.”

The nagging question always remains with a populist whether his views are opportunistic or stem from deep philosophical and moral roots. One's general opinion of Trump is likely to color the outcome.

Imho the best way to determine that for oneself is to listen to as many rallies and interview as possible, looking for themes, consistency or lack of, and gauging charater. AND looking into his past viewpoints via his books, I've read his 2011 Time To Get Tough, and plant to read his latest book, and maybe another. Buick Electra posted a lot of excerpts of his first book The Art of the Deal. Quite informative.

Does the Presidential candidate HAVE to choose a politician for VP???

Trump isn't a politician, why does the VP have to be???

It could be another business person who he has trust in - rather than a politician he doesn't.......

 

[Seabear]

Let me see it seems to bother people more that Trump is being polite to a republican who hosted him?

Ted Cruz is stepping in his own piles of shite right now. He has a CIA/Wall Street banker for a Campaign Chairman:

http://gawker.com/ted-cruz-subsidized-his-scrappy-senate-campaign-with-a-1752842789

Incidentally, not only is Heidi Cruz on leave from Goldman, Cruz’s campaign chairman, Chad Sweet, worked at the multinational investment bank for ten years, from 1996 to 2006. (Before that, he worked at Morgan Stanley, and before that he worked at the CIA. After Goldman, he worked at the Department of Homeland Security, where he ultimately became chief of staff.)

Cruz blasts "New York values" and says there no conservatives from Manhattan, and takes large loans (that he fails to report) from the two largest Manhattan banks??

He is not what he portrays, and no amount of sycophants bleating about his conservative values is going to change that.

He will never win a national election even if he won the Republican nomination.

It is simple, the GOP is trying to do bait and switch with Cruz and Jeb Bush. Bush who's baggage is undeniable, is now being replaced with Cruz a multicultural, neocon with strong ties to same group ruining our economy/country for past 25 years. Who has had their hooks in the last 4 administrations.

Rant away if you will, but fewer and fewer are buying the same old tactics and lies.

 

[Dennis Olson]

From a PM I sent to another member a little while ago:



Here's the deal. I've said multiple times already this cycle that I don't trust Trump, nor do I particularly even like him. But to be frank, I can't take "career politiwhores" anymore. They give me a rash, kinda like gonorrhea. They ALL deserve nothing more than to be barged out past the 12 mile limit and dropped off to swim back to shore. Trump may well be a disaster. Even money IMO. But - HE'S NOT THEM.

At this point, I'll take that and run with it, spider senses and all.

Ya know?

 

[NoDandy]

NO!

DITTO !!

 

[Lavender]

He changed about 15-16 years ago and is now 100% prolife. Read the On The Issues site direct statements part.

I did read On the Issues. That is where I first discovered he supports live birth abortion....in the three instances. The baby is still a baby, regardless of how the baby's life began.

 

[Seabear]

I respect your thoughts Dennis very much and I have said from day one I have not been a fan of the Donald at any point. Under no stretch of the imagination could I envision him being fun or pleasant to be around and us hanging out...

I do choose him over the packs of politicians hands down. He does have my admiration for stirring the pot and mercilessly assailing the Marxist/Fascist policies and politicians of the Left and RINO right.

Your are not going to get anyone perfect to run and certainly not 100% to your liking such as Trump but he has the gravitas and savvy and money to perhaps win and drive a healthy stake into the vampire colossus that is hell bent on our reduction to a pathetic 3rd world country.

I am just as disgusted with fellow Evangelicals who never seem to learn to discern anything relevant about political candidates cycle after cycle. Idiot gatekeepers come out of the woodwork each election and endorse candidates who can't win or are trojan horses both left and right. They have never learned their lessons, and from the looks of it lately again they want to support a seemingly squeaky clean candidate like Cruz and not look too deep into his actual background, nor consider the snow balls chance in Hades he has to actually become president.

If he won the nomination by the time the Left is done he will be painted permanently as the right wing ideologue wacko that he so deftly cultivated in recent years as the Senator from Texas.

Absolute naivete or worse....

On the surface, your objections are absolutely right. But it has driven me crazy the Rubio is obviously ineligible, Jindal was probably ineligible, and Cruz is questionably so, AND THIS IS THE FIRST IT HAS COME UP! And all three have major donor support while in the race. There is something else going on here. All of the candidates have been hamstrung by Reagan's 11th commandment in the face of a real abuse of the Constitution. Someone is trying to pull something over on the American people, so I am glad that Trump brought it up.

We are two weeks away from votes being cast and this birther thing has been commonly whispered about and if no one said anything, the Democrats could have pulled their lawsuit shenanigans after most primary elections had been held. JEB would have been the beneficiary.

I think he might be best suited to bring a woman onto the ticket. First, it helps him with the female vote across the whole country, so that negates the State argument like the Veep must come from FLA or Ohio etc. Furthermore, she can take on Killery one on one, like no man can without the whiplash of being seen as manhandling. So who might this person be.....the envelope please....Jeanine Piro... Check her out on Fox News...Justice with Jeanine...
