I'd vote for Newt in a second. He got shamed out of office for accepting some unauthorized gifts? At least he wasn't putting classified info on an unsecure server. Or doing nothing when we have our diplomats under attack.Originally Posted by jimnyc
Btw, to be clear, while I wouldn't mind him getting the nod, which is kinda what I mean with this thread - I'm still thinking that Gingrich is my first hope for his pick.

If he gets picked, it will be fun watching him get to speak more and more about the Clinton's, from the early 90's until today. He's a smart cookie and quick on his feet.
Hillary has lied to the American people like 5 times minimum with her server, and as many times to congress. Doesn't she get held accountable for lying to congress? Or is that a dumb question?

The sad truth is, the law seems to not get it. Obama lied his way into office. Hitlery has lied her ass off for 30 years or more, she's a criminal, stupid, and the left is still going to vote for her.
There's a time to look at the reality of the situation and deal despite one's idealism.

That's where the right needs to figure something out, or lose. The left and their inability to give a shit about morals or crimes is what will likely get Hillary elected. The right needs to completely come together as a whole to beat her - or the next 4-8 years will be rough. And even worse, even if only 4 years, she will have nominated a left leaning SC judge already by then.

THAT is my biggest concern. Want to sit on your idealism? Fine. Do it on your own time, not mine. You learn to use what you're given. Standing alone proclaiming your superiority or being (in the case of leftwingers) sheep proves nothing to me.
You of all people know exactly what I think of Trump. But when it's time to circle the wagons you circle the damned wagons and it ain't to negotiated nor lose. Some of these people act like they'd stand in the middle of the wagons and do nothing because they don't agree that indian's shooting a f-ing arrow at your ass.
Talking time's over. We're stuck with what we have. We need to use it.

Be just like Trump to pick none of the folks on his list.
Shock the world with Rubio. Or even bigger..
Cruz, whom I can't stand.
Just Me
Cruz and Rublio lost it with me when they started whining. I don't like Trump. but I can respect he made them play HIS game. Instead of manning up they started crying. I have zero respect for that. One, never play another man's game. Two, instead of crying figure out how to win. Neither of those two did either.

Rubio lost it for me when he didn't show up to the Omnibus vote and said it was as good as voting against it. And let's not forget how rattled he got.
Cruz i just can't stand I can't even put my finger on why. Manipulator maybe.

I favor Newt as well for his political experience, knowledge of foreign affairs, and domestic issues.Btw, to be clear, while I wouldn't mind him getting the nod, which is kinda what I mean with this thread - I'm still thinking that Gingrich is my first hope for his pick.
Sure - he has some skeletons in the closet, but if anyone can name a person of high visibility that does not,
they can accept my invitation to kiss their ass in the Middle of Yankee Stadium and I'll give them a week to
sell tickets to the event.
The General would be much better suited in a Cabinet or Intelligence position.

Lol. Now It's looking like it's Pence.

He needs to pick a Southerner. If I was him I'd pick Henry Bonilla. Lots of Southerners and Mexicans in that vote. No one seems to notice we ain't too fond of New Yorkers down here. But if you're going to run one and when, play the game.
JFK and especially RFK HATED LBJ. But apparently not enough to lose the Southern vote. I wouldn't choose either Rubio or Cruz because they let their asses get kicked. If I was Rubio or Cruz, I'd tell Trump to shove it at the suggestion. I'm not working for someone I let publicly humiliate me. Call them what you want, that was brilliant strategy. Trump better come up with some, He's not going to win on his own.

Seems the arguments against Johnson are falling away bit by bit.

Can only speak for myself, like any other candidate I've voted for, there are areas of disagreement. What I find with him though, is consistency and lack of lying while in office. He's not a perfect libertarian or conservative, but I can live with that.

Yeah I am sure he's the next President. And Dennis Rodman is the next dictator of North Korea.

He's the most qualified person currently running for the office and the only conservative to boot. To your point though both Johnson and Rodman will do a better job than any current or potential occupants of either position you mention.
