Okay, so you think luck is going our way? Oh Honey, you don’t even know.
Vetting for Trump’s Veep —
“The contenders under the most serious consideration, such as Gingrich and Christie, have been asked by attorney Arthur B. Culvahouse Jr. to answer more than 100 questions and to provide reams of personal and professional files that include tax records and any articles or books they have published.”
Culvahouse, a former White House counsel who is managing the vetting for Trump, was the lawyer who vetted then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for the GOP vice-presidential nomination during the 2008 campaign.
And how did that Palin thing work out for ya?
Oh yeah, you’ve got 319 million people to pick from and you pick the same guy who thought Sarah Palin was perfectly suited to be vice president. Great judgment, Trump.
Or, he could do like Dick Cheney did when he was “Vetter-in-Chief” and just go ahead and pick himself for the VP spot. That worked out pretty well, no?
1Well done, Mr. Culvahouse! Keep up the good work!
2It has been said that Donnie Drumpf will be needing a food taster. Is there anyone more qualified than Gov Cartman aka the Outlaw Jersey Whale?
3Do they never learn???????????
4Actually, it was the pick of Palin that helped so much to bring McCain down. And he’s still down!
5You mean Trump is insisting on asking his possible running mates questions that he refuses to answer about himself, bless his heart? Aren’t we surprised?
6Just when you thought, this is as dumb as it can get. WOW!
7I say, Don’t stop digging till you hit bottom Guys.
Why not save time and go ahead and pick Palin again? After all, she’s already been vetted by this guy and Trump apparently likes her.
8It’s hard to imagine that there could be a worse person than Palin a heartbeat away from the presidency… except having a jackwagon like Trump actually IN the presidency.
Every Republican with sense would run a mile in tight shoes to get away from being associated with this dumpster fire of a campaign.
9On the one hand, If Donnie’s really trying to win, this guy’s a good choice because Palin has been the closest to Trump we’ve seen. She was just too stupid to realize that should couldn’t go as far as she did without going all in, trying to maintain some vestige of compassion like other repugnicans. But now she’s been exposed as an idiotic loser, so she’ll never do. But the guy who found her, having that experience under his belt, would naturally want as much background info as possible to keep from making the same mistake. On the other hand, If Donnie has decided that POTUS is a job that he really doesn’t want (like part of me still believes), then this choice looks like another excellent example of self sabotage.
10Palin’s biggest selling point is she has experience losing as veep candidate. And people say she is not qualified.
11Please pick a former (now 35 years old) Miss Universe contestant. To appeal to Trump’s version of “the women’s vote.”
“She knows how to compete against foreigners in this big bad, very bad, extremely bad world!”
12Normally, when you pick a Veep candidate, you’re looking for one of two things: either one that is so great that he adds to the attractiveness of the ticket, or one that is so truly awful that he’s impeachment insurance (think: Dan Quayle).
Well, Newt Gingrich, who brought us one of the least popular government shutdowns in history, and who’s own record is so dismal that even David Brooks couldn’t stomach him, is certainly not attractive to anyone. And Chris Christie is such a patently obvious brown-noser that he’s not attractive, either – and the residents of New York and New Jersey aren’t likely to forget anytime soon how he worked so assiduously to reduce commute times across the Hudson River.
But Trump, blinded as he is within in his opaque clouds of narcissism, is hardly one to consider that stuff anyway. He’s such an egotist that I’m surprised he hasn’t named his wife to be the Veep candidate. Except that she’s not legally qualified, as she is an immigrant. As were his previous wives – which, of course, proves that immigrants are willing to do work that Americans won’t.
13Mary R: Good point! Getting vetted about taxes?!!! But The Don won’t show us his? Hahahaha. Sometimes the derp just writes itself.
COUNTDOWN: 15 days til Cleveland. STAY AWAY. STAY AWAY. STAY AWAY.
14I think it’s going to be like Whose Line Is It Anyway, “the show where everything’s made up and the points don’t matter.” Which questions they answer, whether their answers are honest or not, whoever vets (or doesn’t) any responses they give will be overshadowed by whatever magic they use to pick the candidate they already want.
15He came cheap.
16I didn’t think Marla was an immigrant. All she did was saddle him with the daughter he hardly acknowledges. Rastybob: they already dug past the bottom. I fully expect they will come up with someone from the other side, like China.
17His UnRoyal DumAssery can’t imagine not winning because, after all, he’s the URDA. I can’t imagine he’d consider anyone not content to remain far, faaaar back in the shadow cast by His UnRoyal DumAssery. That makes Governor Cartman the obvious choice. Palin can’t shut up. She’s an attention wore who’d be impossible to stuff into the background.
Picking Culvahouse to research candidates is just one of dozens of stupid things His UnRoyal DumAssery has done since he chose to audition, er, run for pres.
18Shhhhhh! {Micr’s quite voice} I, for one, wish not to interrupt our enemy while they are making mistakes.
Hair Drumpf:
19Speed on dude! Hell ain’t half full yet!
Yet another bit of evidence that this whole thing is one way-too-long piece of performance art. The pile is just getting deeper and deeper, innit?
20where the hell did this clown go to law school, the “Baby Doc School o’ Law” in Port au Prince? this is what happens, when you hire legal counsel that graduated from 4th tier law schools.
21U of Tennessee for his BA. NYU for his JD.
22Debbo: was the word you wanted wore, or did it have an h in it?
23They do like to go with the tried and true, you know.
