Trump Asks For VP Suggestions From Crowd, Hugs American Flag At Rally

Trump took a break during his rally for some audience participation, asking supporters who they "liked" for a running mate.
Attendees shouted out former House Speaker Newt Gingrich; Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL); former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, according to Politico.
Rice seemed to garner the biggest applause ...

During the rally, Trump said that ... he will not be campaigning for down-ballot GOPers.

As the rally continued, supporters chanted "Build the Wall" and Trump turned around to bear hug one of the American flags behind him. (Is Trump nuts?)

3. Hugging? Or something else?

A friend's dachshund used to hump my leg every time I visited. Reminds me of that. I hope he didn't get the flag all icky.

15. Probably not. His fingers are really too short to accomplish much of anything.

13. Exactly

He endorsed a candidate (forget her name) and she lost her primary. She was an incumbent who defeated American Idol Clay Aikens in 2014.

14. Shameless jingoist. It's all show biz for him.

I'll be glad when November is here and I'll never have to hear of him again.

17. "I'll never have to hear of him again"

He'll be a thorn in Hillary's next four (eight?) years.

18. Trump told his voters that he loves uneducated people, so this should not surprise you at all.

Ever seen the POTUS in Idiocracy?

19. Put a bible in his hand and the film-flam is complete.

@CarlosLozadaWP

Trump's flag hug reminds me of the BOB ROBERTS poster. And Trump reminds me of that movie.
