I concur...although the polling sample is only 600 something...could this be a trend?

I think Gingrich could keep trumpet on a leach.

I'm not voting for trump but what do you think of Gingrich as VP?

    UN bureaucrats making extreme statements does not make them either the source of the idea or the political threat. Attributing causes as whatever you see saying something extreme is typical conspiracy theorizing. Ignoring the philosophical, historical and political ignorance of a Pragmatist like Trump is no better as a solution.

    The language was perjured from the post. Accolades belong with our brother Carl.

    Forgetting about basic politics, I can't believe how far our duly elected black president has taken US racism! It was better before. Much better.
    He is nothing but an opportunist. An opportunist, whose entire range was offered by those that preceded him, making repubican't unelectable for a generation!
    The lost party wondering in the dessert with jesus and lizards. Time for Libertarians to take the charge, and displace the broken elitist clowns.

    Clinton has uglier intentions only because the anti-intellectual Pragmatist Trump doesn't know what he is doing. But he has, like Pragmatists in general, been easily swayed by explicit statist ideology he adopts as implicit premises. It's the history of the rise of Progressive movement and its influence on exercise of raw power. Trump could do as much continuing damage by letting someone like Gingrich influence political appointees and continue to dominate him intellectually, while he concentrates on other, more publicly visible policy.

    That is what happened under Clinton I under Gore's and Babbitt's viro ideology allowed to operate largely out of the major media coverage. It was very bad, Gingrich as Speaker of the House made it worse, and it is worse now. No one should be dismissing the misantrhopic anti-private property rights viro movement or Gingrich as VP as somehow not as important as the rest of Progressive statist destruction.

    If you still feel that the Trump is a better choice than Johnson, then nothing I can say will matter. Go ahead and waste your vote on evil again.

    Trump doing what you want is a dream. What we will get instead will be a nightmare. Sanders didn't have a choice; he is a Democrat who places a higher value on power than anything else.

    The inflammatory quotes from UN functionaries did not come from Gingrich and are not the threat. Gingrich is a goofball "intellectual" and religious nut who was easily swayed by viros like Wilson. Gingrich used his power to facilitate the US pressure groups and their agencies like USFWS, who were into their misanthropic power politics long before they created a largely meaningless flurry by UN radicals with no power. They had already done a lot of damage by the 1970s, long before Gingrich, let alone UN "reports".

    Has nothing to do with the question. The actual choices at present are Weld for sure, Gingrich maybe and Warren maybe. I think that's whats her names name. It's really an important choice for a Trump fan. At this point i doubt Weld is a worry.

    Choose one and maybe say if that VP choice made you happier or unhappier with the presumption results in the top spot.

    The choice is Weld, Warren, or Gingrich unless there has been a different selection. At this point no way your going to get anything close to what you want except for a few posters who like the all left wing primary candidate roster.

    Whose finger do you put on the button.

    Seems like this should be as you were doing though a primary and critical discussion. Crap another LBJ. I would walk across the street to piss on his grave.

    Not if he's of the other political philosophy. I don't even agree with the Act of Succession using Cabinet Secretaries who have zero votes each nor Senators and Representatives who are often of the other party. Sounds suspiciously like an in house revolution to me.

    Your going to have to detail that a little better I really don't remember it quite that way. I remembered him geting steam rollered and avalanched with a lot of meaningless garbage and I remember the left of all groups that should know better to bring up sex or something like that as an issue . oh yes infidelity was it? Now that shows how really stupid the left is when you look at Hillary and Bubba just for starters and who just got indicted in Florida???? People ought not to bring up subjects that make us remember even more of their serious faults.

    So yeah go ahead and make your case. After if it was true they were only the right wing of the left anyway. No big deal.

    Really ? Gee, I am not so sure. The "establishment" Republicans favor him. ( And I think if he had been a better candidate and had become our current president instead of O's seconf term) I think he would have been one of our best, as he would have been the right guy at the right time. But we'll never know. I've also heard Robert Gates and Gen. Flynn mentioned but I doubt they'd do it. If Gates agreed Hillary would lose.

    Trump on a Leech. Freudian slip or intentional it's a perfect looter desciption big point for that one.

    Most qualified Americans from that particular background are afraid. Condo probably has the guts, stamina, ehtics and values though. interesting thought. In a evenly moderated real debate she'd slaughter The Wicked Witch of the Left. She's got more brains and intellectual ability than all of Hillary's staff put together. Of course there si the Obama back lash and the regualar garden variety racist/sexist/ bigoted tools to deal with.

    Another left winger? Sad thing is he probably will pick another one like that. That would cost him any chance of non leftist votes and when you count the 46% who said forget it there's not much left to choose. What am I saying Left is never much left to choose. Ahem.. There's not much remaining except Sanders Kids?

    So then, what is the answer? Don't vote and let the useful idiots decided our fate? Vote for the known evil aka Hillary? We have had enough experience to know what she will do, and it is not in our best interest.Vote for a Libertarian, knowing we are throwing our vote away? Wait for more riots so Obama can declare Martial Law and stay put, destroying capitalism once and for all? We have only so much time to make a choice,what say you guru? What action do you call best, and not some idealism which will never happen, real action we can take.

    That's cold. Say it isn't so Joe! Say it isn't so!!

    With Gingrich as VP? Changes the whole picture. Objectively speaking and considering Trumps weight problem....but then even Hillary looks like and reportedly is a candidate for death warmed over. That VP choice is becoming very important especially with Pellosillyni waiting in the wings.

    Wiy would you believe any polltican. So let's do the scenario test.

    Ladies and Gentle mean we interrupt with this breaking news. The President has suffered a heart attack and the flags are being lowered to half staff.

    The new President former Vice President ____ is even now being sworn in by Chief Justice whoever."


    Based on real life and that scenario what name do you want to see on election day in the VP slot?

    Weld
    Gingrich
    What's her name?


    Really I'm so embarrased. I cannot remember that name Elizabeth something or another?

    Borden? Naah she was into axes
    Warren? Naah that was a Judge
    Dole? Nope Pineapple heiress.

    Think how often we allow some one like Biden, Quayles, Johnson, the greek named guy from maryland, to sit in that all too important slot and pretend nothing will ever happen. Kennedy, Reagan, Ford, is the job really to assassination proof the sitting President with their gross, draconian unacceptabilty. Their inability to even get on a primary ballot by themselves. Let's see Pelosi in number three spot elected by a handfull of grape growers turned pot farmers.

    You know...Parts of this system really need changing.

    Like them or not of those mentioned for the VP slot who would let you sleep well at night knowing their finger was on the nuclear button in charge of a massively failed economy or ending the endless wars?
