Vice Presidential Politics

Gráinne · 07-25-2015, 07:51 PM

I'm convinced that if Obama had been 100% white and not had a Muslim-sounding name, there would have been no birther controversy.

John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, not the country of Panama. It was under U.S. control then, so there were no issues as to his eligibility in 2008.

I myself thought that Jennifer Granholm, then governor of Michigan, would have made a great VP or even Presidential candidate, but she was born in British Columbia, Canada and her parents had no ties to the U.S.

Perhaps it's time, given the changing "faces" of Americans, to change the rules.

And Ocean, I know what you meant by choosing "Born in the U.S.A.", but it's hardly a patriotic song

With the first Republican debate just a little more than a week away, I'm wondering if there is any chance of a fisticuffs? As Betty Davis once said "Fasten your seat belts, its going to be a bumpy night!

It has been sort of comical watching Trump call out candidates ( namely Scott Walker& Lindsey Graham) who had previously seeked his support and money! Lets hope if this turns out to be a pissing contest, that Trump's "equipment" isn't nearly as big as his EGO

I just had to shake my head in amazement today when I heard Trump handing out compliments to Sarah Palin and vice versa

PLEASE PLEASE tell me we won't have to see that woman as a vice presidential running mate again!

I'm still bewildered that Republicans did so well in the mid election! They've not done one worthy thing in Congress for several years (imo). So how likely is it that we will have a Republican president? I'm afraid, very likely.

Things are REALLY getting interesting now!!!

Since Chris Christie tossed his weight backing Trump and lurking in the background of at least two speeches of Trump's.... are we going to see a VP nod towards Christie?
