GOP Veep Takes

Here is my take on the names that supposedly appear on the Trumpster's list of prospective Vice Presidential candidates:

Chris Christie – may fawn his way to the nomination, but getting to the office will require him to cross one congested bridge too far. Seriously, Christie is a bastard file that only adds to Trump's abrasive image, and I don't think we can expect an attractive portrait of Christie to be drawn at the bridgegate trials set to begin in September!

Mike Pence – From his anti-choice views to guy rights, Mike Pence could not be more reactionary or wrong about every social issue, and his economic record is dismal. Religious fanatics will love him for what they think are his God given (inflicted) values, but everyone else will view him as Corporate crap or just another piece of dinosaur coprolite.

Newt Gingrich – Seriously? I think my brother, Randy Smiley said it best in 2012 when he wrote:

“Gingrich? Isn't this the guy that said; 'Anyone who quotes me or shows that clip of what I said is a liar.' I have to admit that sometime[s] Gingrich is as quotable as Dan Quail. But [do] you really want the DISGRACED RESIGNED SPEAKER as PRESIDENT?”

There is also something about the impeachment of Bill Clinton and shutting down the government that makes the baggage Newt Gingrich carries smell like a colostomy bag.
