The Narrowing
Well, Republican senator Bob Corker of Tennessee was a finalist for the veep slot and had even submitted his tax returns to Trump to be vetted. Bless his heart, he spent one day with Donald Trump and promptly asked that his name be removed from vice-presidential consideration.
One day.
Of course, that’s exactly one day more than I could spend with Donald Trump.
Corker issued a statement …
“There are people far more suited for being a candidate for vice president, and I think I’m far more suited for other types of things,” Corker told the Post, after meeting with Trump campaign officials in New York and participating in a joint rally with the candidate in North Carolina.
Yeah, he used the “it’s not you, it’s me” line. Cute.
And, then Joni Ernst might can castrate a pig, but Donald Trump was way over the line for her, too.
Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa on Wednesday told Politico that she has withdrawn her name from consideration as a vice presidential nominee. She suggested Pence should get the nod instead.
Pence was last seen running the opposite direction.
If there’s one thing I would trust about Joni Ernst, it’s her experience and knowledge about the temperament of pigs, and which ones you want to steer clear of.
1Big Veep announcement was supposed to be this week, so Donnie Dollars had better find somebody quick (Newtie, various Ricks, $arah, Chris C., etc., all waving arms and texting the orange one- pick me). Dickus Cheney is still breathing, soooo…
I hear for the RNC conv they’re bringing the Rev. Jim Jones back as chief bartender and beverage supplier too…there ya go, make those doubles.
They tried to get J. Dahmer to cater the event but he daid, so they’re trying to get Daniel Rakowitz out of hospital on a work-release to do the cooking.

Not suited for VP. Better suited for some other job. Name any job you could do well. Only voters will hire some one with an IQ below room temp.
3Pence would be a perfect Dan Quayle for Trump.
4when your claim to fame is pig castratin’ you might wanna think twice bout turnin’ down the Drumpf for veep. Veep coin coulda got joni the double wide of her dreams.
5And, of course, we still have that all-important swimsuit competition!
(Oh, god! Christie or Newt in a Speedo!!!!
6Eye bleach! STAT!!!!!!)
Well, first the sponsors bailed on the convention and now no one wants to be veep. Who’s next? Will all the R’s bail out of Congress? Please?
7Good grief JAKvirginia … didn’t we already see Christie in that baseball uniform? Wasn’t that enough? Beached whales in Speedos? OMG … eye bleach, indeed … and some for the brain images, as well!!
8Corker has suggested Trump’s daughter, Ivanka (the one Trump considers so hot he would date her if that weren’t tantamount to incest), is perfect for VP. Sure, why not? Trump Dynasty. Ivanka could pass out her flammable scarves made in China to all the little people when she campaigns.
9Trumph’s short list of veep candidates:
1. Ted Nugent
102. Gary Busey
3. Sarah Palin
4. Charlie Sheen
5. Gretchen Carlson
Trumpo was on the TV claiming that there are hordes of people with political backgrounds who are contacting him and begging him to be his Veep. Yeah. And there are icicles in Hell.
11Charlie Sheen wouldn’t need any staff, he already has aids.
12Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Trump is requiring that VP candidates submit their tax returns?
So he needs to see their tax returns, but we can’t see his?
13If you catch the Corker interview, he drops a quiet, subtle depth charge on Trump. He’s asked who he thinks Trump should pick, and suggests Ivanka. Meaning that the ideal Trump vP would be someone as close to him as possible.
14‘
*smile*
The clown car seems to be emptying out with the threat of being VP hanging over their heads.
15Wow, she must really hate Pence.
16Love the short list, slipstream, but Drumpf needs someone he can browbeat, like the guy who doesn’t talk in Penn and Teller or Ben Carson.
17Oh, please, vote for and elect HRC; I don’t want to have to spend the next four years praying for the health of the POTUS just so his VEEP won’t take over. It was bad enough when it was Little Danny Quayle or Dank Cheney.
18help us in IN……we gave you Quayle and now we beg dump to please take Pence……he would be perfect for the dump……and it would get him out of IN……and Pence has not an original thought in his head……would never mess with dump’s ego…..
19WA Skep: Given Trump, the only mentioned name who would not be a step up would be Leapin’ Lena, and Joni has taken herself out of contention. Even Gingrich would be an improvement. Hell, even Dan Quayle or Dick Cheney would be improvements.
20The speedo thing – that was just mean.
21The Salamander is getting parched lips from kissing Scumpf’s hairy nether parts today.
I know! I know! Der trumpfurher is so yuge that he can be his own vp! There. All settled.
