* Does Condi Rice have much appeal to anyone but neocons? One of the problems with her is that black politicians are disinclined to stick with the program if it’s going to get in the way of their blackness. Didn’t Condi imply that she voted for Obama?
* Apart from other considerations, it would be hard to attack Hillary on her Iraq vote in the Senate with one of the major architects and promoters of the Iraq War on the ticket as VP running mate. Preposterous suggestion. As was the suggestion by the earlier poster of Newt Gingrich. While I enjoy hearing his very intelligent discussion and analysis of the political situation on Fox News, I strongly opposed Gingrich in 2012 because he was too wedded to the neocon foreign policy (he was largely financed by Sheldon Adelson after all) and too tied up with the Washington establishment. You can tell that Gingrich is dying to be named #2. A much better pick, imo, would be Mike Huckabee. Although I have never been a fan or supporter, I have long been an admirer of his political skill. He is very articulate and gets his ideas across in a very pleasant way. He was probably the best natural politician running in 2012. His religion comes across in a much more acceptable way than Ted Cruz’s. So he would be a real way for Trump to heal any problems with the evangelicals. His experience in Arkansas against the Clintons would prove handy against Hillary. He’s only 60, just the right age for a running mate. A long shot, for sure, but I hope he is on Trump’s short list. Otherwise, I am at a loss to come up with an acceptable running mate.
