Ben carson vp?
Doubtful. He will get a big political name. He now needs to figure out how to unite the Republican base and keep bringing in new votes. I could see Christy or even Kasich being on the short list.
Possibly the most viable option with more impact than the electoral college.
Someone cue cue up the Drew Carey template: Welcome to the electoral college where your votes don’t matter unless you’re in a swing state!
I seriously doubt Kasich simply because Trump has an issue with proving he’s really Republican enough and Kasich is a RINO. Last thing he needs when trying to unite the traditional base is pick a a guy that probably should have ran as a Democrat. He does need someone with political expertise to shore up his total lack of experience with getting things done in the mess that is DC though.
Newt is my #1 choice but he’s got some baggage. When you realize we just made Trump our nominee though how much do we really give a shit about baggage? Paul Ryan would be my #2 choice but he’s got a pretty good gig now so I’m not sure he’d be willing to run.
EDIT: After posting this I decided to do a quick google news search for Newt, and this was the first result. Guess I’m not crazy.

Even Trump knows the outsider-reformist mission is next to impossible, and that is precisely why he is quoted in another New York Times piece saying that he wants a VP with “a strong political background, who was well respected on the Hill, who can help me with legislation, and who could be a great president.”
I never saw this coming.
Fun Fact: 100% of candidates god told to run for president failed this election.
Forget Kassich, I used to like him until his gun ban in Ohio. The Gingrich who stole Christmas would be absolute suicide for Trump. He needs to pick someone who can attract Dems not repel them.
you do realize Hillary IS going to win, right?
What makes you say that? I wouldn’t be surprised if a huge amount of people vote for Trump because they are sick of career politicians.
Only if we allow it. I finally registered to vote this year. I’m 44.
Hillary has hundreds of skeletons and Trump is the only one with big enough balls to pull them out of the closet. She is fucking toast.
the sooner you realize it, the less it will hurt. It’s OK, I don’t like her either. It’s just math.
Yep, and she is the poster child for career politicians.
Math is tough when voter turn out is so variable.
I’d seriously believe that Trump can win NY this year. We shall see.
What swing states can Trump win?
He would have to flip a bunch that went to Obama (PA, FL, OH, CO) and hold onto NC. VA is probably a lost cause. I have seen more Trump bumper stickers than Hillary stickers so far in CO.
I don’t believe that you can automatically assume certain states are going to vote democrat or republican in this election. Especially after the 2 of them debate each other. He will tear her apart. I think this election might look like the Reagan years.
In PA Hillary got 918,689 (1,600,000 dems) and Trump got 892,702 (1,500,000 repubs). That is too close to call a democrat win.
Trump had ~30k votes less than Hillary in PA… but he also faced two opponents…If what I think will happen, a lot of Bernie voters will vote for Trump because they view Hillary as evil… Trump will win PA.
on a side note. F the electoral college.
Hitlery is a career criminal and people won’t call her on it because they fear for their life. Hopefully Trump will have the balls to do it. The other problem is that the media has not kept her shit in the headlines, Trump can force their hand on that!
