Condi is running to replace Barbara Boxers seat in CA. IMO, that would be the best place for her.

As to VP choices, Newt Gingrich is rumored to be on the list. I kinda like that choice.

I think he'll go completely out-side the box. Something totally outrageous,, yet a win-win for the right..

He will have a strong pull to a 1) female, 2) minority, 3) Someone that can pull the young vote

Just a guess, but any on this list could have the nod..

Business:
  • Tim Cook, Apple CEO
  • Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO
  • Carly Fiorina, HP x-CEO
  • Michael Dell, Dell CEO
  • Meg Whitman, Hewlett-Packard CEO

Entertainers & Sports Personalities:
  • Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock
  • Mike Ditka
  • Karl Malone
  • Tom Selleck
  • Kelsey Grammer
  • Jimmy Johnson, x-UM Coach
  • Laura Ingraham, Fox News
  • Ana Navarro, CNN Political Contributor

Politicians:
  • Kelly Ayotte, U.S. senator from New Hampshire
  • Susana Martinez Governor of New Mexico
  • Elaine L. Chao Former secretary of labor
  • Nikki R. Haley Governor of South Carolina
  • Liz Cheney, Former Deputy Secretary of State

I was hoping for Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, which would pave his path to the presidency, thus fulfilling the prophecy.

Well hell, why not add Tim Kennedy to that list?

That would be a MAJOR win in my book.

Newt would have to be on that list. He is a smart MF'er, (when he thinks with his big head that is) and would be a hammer in any VP debates.

I would love the hell out of him as Secretary of State.

Slightly sarcastic, slighty not, Kristen Beck would have some traction with the .000000001 transgeebeetee population.

Two of the states Trump must win are Ohio and Flordia. Ribio and kasith will have serious roles in the next administration

I will go with Newt or Ted Nugent.

At very least I can see Newt getting a cabinet position, maybe John Bolton as well. I don't know about Condi becuase she has strong ties with the Bushes.

You're assuming Hillary is a woman. Bill's forays kinda indicate she isn't. Just sayin.
