Governor Fallin says she'd say yes and would be "honored" if asked by Trump to serve.

Rick Scott says he supports Trump 100 percent but would pass if asked.

Hailey said she'll support Trump and is flattered by the fact she's being considered, but would decline.


Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Falling has no political future and is safe in Oklahoma so why not...

Who cares?

I suppose you could argue that whoever accepts the spot is the first one to be eliminated from the 2020 nomination race.
Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.

As one person said, who ever accepts the VP nomination by Trump will also be unfit for office because they are also willing to accept a person with no character.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

Agreed. Unfortunately, we already have to add Rick Perry to this list.

Hopefully he was just having a "Rick Perry" moment...

Credit where credit is due. Nice shot Matt.

(Although I was hoping in my retirement that I'd never need to see his name again under any circumstance. Back to the pool and another umbrella drink to clear my head of that)

Hummmm. That Newt thing kind of took me by surprise. I see the National Review appears to be talking him up but then again Wm. Kristol and Weaky (intentional misspell) Standard were the folks that brought us Sarah Palin, so I guess anything is possible.

Still, at age 72 and more luggage than a Samsonite factory Newt seems like an odd VP front runner. I guess you go with whatever you have on the bench.

Jan Brewer

A politically experienced older female in a leadership role who sticks her finger in the face of the president of The United States of America and has a lot of experience pushing around anyone with whom she disagrees such as Mexican Americans, African Americans, Native Americans and the issues important to them. She could attack H.R.Clinton and not be seen as a woman hater. She's less of a bully than Trump because she's not a coward. By comparison he'd appear somewhat more sensitive - which is a quality he sorely lacks. He'd enjoy sending her on endless PR jaunts and stand in public appearances far away from him. He'd also enjoy making fun of her while she's away.

Trump says it definitely will not be Rubio.

He also says that "most" of the following people are not even under consideration: Cruz, Kasich, Palin, and Christie. "Most" would be at least a majority, so it sounds like Palin and Cruz are out. Of Kasich and Christie, I would guess Christie is the only one being considered.

Rick Perry or Jeff Sessions I think. Gov.Fallin of Oklahoma is very possible.

Kasich said he would not.
He's already said weeks ago before he would go on being Governor of Ohio.
He's not even sure he'd even endorse Trump.

Anybody willing to run on Trump's ticket is merely doing it for free national attention.
Any legitimate person would rather swallow their own vomit.

It would appear Ms. Fallin has her own problems to work through.
