I agree. It's to our advantage that the Repub convention comes first. Why give that advantage away? thesquanderer Jun 2016 #5

If he chooses Kasich, she should choose Sherrod Brown.

If he chooses Rick Perry, she should choose Julian Castro

If he chooses a vanilla non-regional republican, she should choose Tim Caine

If he chooses Marcy Bachmann - god help him

Who knows, maybe it won't even be Trump on top of the ticket! We have the opportunity to know exactly who we're battling before committing our side, no need to blow that.

Trumpler is intending on announcing his running mate then. Let him do that. Then, she can announce HERS and steal his thunder!
