The Republican Primary Race Is Filling Up

[jamil]

C'mon, man - you know I'm not NEARLY that absolutist.

I do think it is nigh impossible to say that Trump was the unqualified most pro-2A candidate on the ballot. His pro-2A supporters voted for him for non-2A reasons, but because his 2A position(s) were acceptable. He netted out better than other candidates overall, but I think it a stretch to say he was the best 2A candidate.


We'll agree to disagree on this. Come to think of it, I think we reached this same impasse before.

I'll not further this any more then, except to say, in the minds of the Trump supporters, sundry INGO threads in evidence, Trump was the most 2A supportive candidate. Even opposed to a guy who helped argue Heller!

Your fast news updates are always appreciated.

I'm voting for Mia Love...

First, I am a fan of Mia Love as a Republican and a politician.

Second, though, a black, Mormon, female VP with less experience than Obama had? Yep, it is official. Absolutely nothing would surprise me in this cycle.

I'd...

Nevermind. I'm not going to say it. I wouldn't want people to suspect that I have impure thoughts. I'll just say I'm more than a political fan.

That actually would be an interesting ticket that I wouldn't mind seeing play out. It'd be the ultimate revenge.

......my interest in the 2016 race is all but gone.

That ought to free up some bandwidth.

I am betting Trump's VP pick will be out of the ordinary. A woman VP pick would stump the Hillary campaign and rob her of her "Vote for me cuz' I'm a woman" card. A minority woman would be awesome, and stump the SJWs.

If it's going to be a man, I've seen talk of Jim Webb. A nationalist Republican and a conservative Democrat war hero. Have we ever had a cross-party ticket before? That would be something.

Definitely a woman... we could go hispanic instead of black... I wonder if we have any that are also lesbians?

Maybe he'll pick a unicorn for VP.

Allen West for VP

VP doesn't matter. Anybody can go to state funerals and sleep through Senate proceedings.

Tell that to Dick Cheney.

Tell that to Dick Cheney.

Or Lyndon Johnson.

Allen West for VP

Think he would go for a dress?

 

[bwframe]

Tell that to Dick Cheney.

Cheney changed the role of VP as an active executive, in charge of many things. Obama with his buffoon pick has attemped to change that back.

You do realize that now, our only chance on beating Hillary is to vote for Trump, right?

Not sure I understand. There is no chance HRC will win Indiana. At least not the way it looks right now. This doom'n'gloom can probably wait until October. Let's see where the Indiana polls are then.

RedState is dead to me. The entirety of the editorial staff and front page contributors have hypocritically abandoned the cardinal rule of the site: ideology in the primary, party in the general. The people who are #NeverTrump now are the same people who were admonishing conservatives for not voting for McCain and Romney. Some of those people are now actively supporting Hillary Clinton.

**** RedState, and anything they have to say.

Totally agree.

It is truly sad. I participated in a group that shared political e-mails several years back, before RedState was launched. Erick Erickson also participated in that same group. I am disappointed in the difference between Erick then and now. He seems to have gone establishment.
