- I happen to think he's really serious about being elected - his ego would seem to bear this out - PLUS - if it is a ruse - trust issues ensue. - JenBro Feb 1, 09:05
- Has anyone discussed Trump's potential running mates? I mean, the only logical choice is Palin. - Mop Feb 1, 08:37 20
  - Omarosa obvie -- nm* - ty97 Feb 1, 09:02 4
    - No way...he'd either choose Ivanka or Donny douche. Maybe George Ross. Poor Eric wouldn't even make the short list. -- nm - Jim Feb 1, 09:06 3
      - Then Hillary would choose Bill. Family Battle Royale! -- nm - Spawn Feb 1, 09:18
      - why isn't Ivanka the Trump running? Why? -- nm - Andie Feb 1, 09:10 1
        
        I thought about that. Is she old enough? I don't think so. -- nm - pmb Feb 1, 09:16
  - He'll want to attract the hispanic vote. So I'm going to go with Charo. -- nm - pmb Feb 1, 08:43 2

  - Depends on what he actively is trying to do. Win, he's gotta pick someone with actual DC competency - Will Hunting Feb 1, 08:39 8
    - Of course, he might pick Trace Adkins to shore up his southern support. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 1, 08:46
    - If he picks someone viable, Congress might vote to have Trump assassinated. -- nm - Mop Feb 1, 08:41 6

        Isn't a big wall (but tasteful) more his thing? -- nm - LMS Feb 1, 09:00 2
        
        I expect him, more than any president ever, to get into office and totally forget what he said while campaigning. -- nm - Spawn Feb 1, 09:09 1
        
        I think his first act will be to convert all National Parks and areas of scientific interest to golf courses (see documentary You've Been Trumped). -- nm - LMS Feb 1, 09:15

- He endorses (and stumps for) one candidate, in exchange for access and favors -- nm - Flavorize Feb 1, 08:15
- I think it's about 60% he's the nominee at this point. - Will Hunting Feb 1, 08:12 13
  - [deleted] 9
    - Which part? Him actually being the nominee, or him trying to get out of it and being unable to at this point? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 1, 08:23 8
      - [deleted]
      - [deleted] 5
        
        It's not anymore. I don't think I go 60% for him being the nominee, but I think it's 40% (and I don't have any individual higher at the moment). A - pmb Feb 1, 08:41
        
        It should be, but it's sadly not at this point. - Will Hunting Feb 1, 08:31

    - Personally, I'd give us one chance in trhee. -- nm - Crazy Ivan Feb 1, 08:16
- He holds a Trump Convention on the same days as the GOP convention. -- nm - Max Feb 1, 08:11
- names Ross Perot as his VP choice and runs as an Independent -- nm* - Beaker Feb 1, 08:04
- Won't he just declare himself the nominee regardless of how it plays out? -- nm - LMS Feb 1, 08:04
- seems far more likely he goes on a screw the RNC rant and runs solo (assuming there is nothing to stop him from doing that) -- nm - oblique Feb 1, 08:03
- I like that there has been no registration surge in Iowa. -- nm - Spawn Feb 1, 08:03
Don't you tell me no truths. I want all of your lies. -- nm - Baron Whitlock Feb 1, 08:01

    - Ah, did not see that. My Hunter finally got the old one this time! Two of them, actually. -- nm - Spawn Feb 1, 08:07 4
      - I bought mine. I actually didn't need to play a tonne to get my characters to rank 5. I had leftover weeklys from last time. - Shaun Feb 1, 08:17 3
        
        Wow. That is a long wait. I do that on Osiris sometimes, but that is a week. -- nm - Spawn Feb 1, 08:19 2
        
        To clarify, not leftover completed ones. -- nm - Shaun Feb 1, 08:20 1
        
        Yeah, I meant that my Hunter played 4-5 matches last week so the big ones were partials. - Spawn Feb 1, 08:24
