Apprentice Needed

Okay, the reveal is one day closer--who will be Trump's lackey running mate?  Chris Christie?  Ben Carson?  Maybe Rick Perry? Fio's betting against Newt Gingrich because he knows a lot more about politics than Trump does and is likely to take off in his own direction.  That leaves the Trumpeteer with Chris Christie, Ben Carson, Rick Perry and a couple of politicians with no national street cred. Maybe Ivanka is his best choice after all.

Trump Factoids

The GOP is trying to control Trump's spasmodic outbursts by harnessing him to a teleprompter, which he has long been critical of Hillary for using, but Fio predicts that won't last long.  The Donald's ego will break through.

Trump is all about appearances. In his mind, no woman is worth holding office unless she's won a beauty pageant.  In fact, Fio suspects he judges all women by that same standard.

Trump doesn't want a good, solid VP.  He wants a lackey. Maybe that Corey guy would do.

Trump Catch-up

Muhammad Ali--a Muslim, but Donald "loved" him. Celebrities get a free ride.
*
Ben Carson is probably toward the top of Trump's vice-presidential list.  He's a celebrity, black, charming, and innocent as the day he was born.
*
When Trump said Hillary doesn't "look presidential," that was code for "she's a woman."

GOP Race

It's not news
That Ted Cruz
Will certainly lose--
He's so far to the right
That he's out of sight
A troglodyte
So why the fight?

Maybe because he likes the limelight, maybe to keep his senatorial seat safe, maybe to make a run for VP.
We'll see,
