Location: Kansas | Doubt Martinez would go for Trump's policies to tighten up the borders. Most Hispanics don't.

| Newt Gingrich would be a good match for the Donald. He's an insider and has a good grasp of foreign policies. Plus, they could comb each other's hair. |

Common Sense and then some
Location: So. California | Bear - 2016-05-05 5:50 AM Condolezza Rice's name always comes up when discussing attractive running mates or VP picks, and she has repeatedly declined in no uncertain terms. It would be nice, but it won't happen. This idea of "foreign policy experience" is a little overblown. Washington is teeming with career people in foreign policy experience. Reagan had none. Clinton had none. Bush, 43, had none. Obama had none. It's not absolutely mandatory. Hillary, on the other hand, has tons of it......that alone should tell you how much that really matters. It's a fun game to guess VP picks, but with Trump especially, good luck with that. That being said, I'm intrigued with this idea that Susanna Martinez, the NM governor, would be a smart pick. She is evidently popular and won re-election. She's a Latino and a woman. Might be a smart pick, depending on whether or not she's one of the #NeverTrump crowd.
You made my point. Trumps VP pick needs military and/or foreign affairs background
Reagan/Bush 41 - CIA/Military
Clinton/Gore - Military
Bush 43/Cheney - Secretary of Defence/Halliburton
Obama/Biden - Foreign relations
I'm leaning more towards military experience for his VP pick. |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | I don't think it's mandatory. Voters typically aren't that sophisticated. Trump needs a running mate with whom he's compatible, and most importantly who will broaden his appeal. |

She sure leans to the left and runs a liberal state. |

Common sense tells you Latino voters got her "in" and they can also take her "out."

I didn't know she's a liberal. I haven't really followed her. She sure seems popular. |

She did try to end allowing illegals to get driver licenses and it didn't pass. |

| FOLKS: I want to let y'all know that Ted Cruz saying that he is suspending his campaign means it's him not quitting. He said he is gonna keep fighting & he is not giving up...the same things that our former president Reagan said.
***Reagan also suspended his campaign before the California primary*** because he was falling way behind from the person he was running against. But behind the suspension, Reagan was strategizing, picking up delegates behind the scene & lots of prayer & fasting................................ **The media hated Reagan too & he had to get the media out of the way & that's what Cruz is doing!
***Cruzers, y'all NEVER give up! Cruz is doing a Reagan strategy. Reagan also said his VP pick right before the California primary & Ted is doing the same!
Reagan won California primary & he later on went to a contested convention & won! History is repeating itself & everyone should NEVER give up! That's what the media wants you to think but God has an Ace up His sleeve & Trump is it
You will find Rubio and Kasich at the convention adding their delegates to Cruz ... while trying to recruit Trump's delegates .... IT'S NOT OVER TIL THE FAT LADY SINGS ... AND THERE AIN'T NO FAT LADY .. lol |
