Trump VP Choice Rumor...

He's in talks with Michele Bachmann. He needs a woman as a running mate, he thinks, and, well, you know, she ran in 2012. "She's Tremendous!" he said to one reporter.

Shhhh....keep this on the down-low. Don't let the kitty out of the bag.

when necessary. They're both doughy older white guys.

And that Michele Bachmann....boy can she talk up a storm.

She out trumps Trump when it comes to spreading conspiracies. Remember when she sank her presidential campaign by asserting that the HPV vaccine caused mental retardation?

I can't see the Republican Party allowing that. They'll either replace Trump or threaten to replace him and force him to select a mainstream running mate.

I'm guess Donald will pick some right wing retired General or military person. Someone like that would reinforce his outlandish military and foreign policy stances.

Or he could pick Michelle Bachmann.

I just don't see anyone who is currently in elected office wanting to risk their career on this.

Ms. Faraway Eyes? Is this an attempt to boost his 'evangelical' creds? Or just plain crazy creds. If Bachmann is on the list can Palin be far behind?

You'd think he would learn from McCain's mistake. Maybe not. But please, Donald, continue.

So she could be a good fit. I am sure the gravitas she would bring to the campaign will be appreciated by the GOP insiders who are desperate for Trump to straighten up his campaign...
