All I know is that when Trump announces his VP, he's going to be an amazing really smart guy, because that's Trumps answer to everything.

How are you going to fix health care. "I'm going to get some amazing really smart guys to do that"

What about fixing the immigration policy "I'm going to grab some other amazing really smart guys to work on that"

I wonder how many amazing really smart guys Trump knows, I mean he did have a private university named after him.

Is Trump allowed to not have a running mate? That would be the Trumpiest thing he could do "I'm so amazing I don't even need a running mate"

Hillary says if she's elected to POTUS, she will have Bill revitalize the economy.

Is she kidding? Bill was the one who delivered the first crushing blow.

Is she running for president, or is she running for Bill to be president without being named president?

What a bizarre strategy. By doing this she's implying that she doesn't have the ability to handle the most important issue in the nation.

Seems like a last second thing she'd do if she were about to lose?

Fine I'll put Bill in charge! You remember Bill, the 90's! Economy will be great!

So basically what Hillary is saying is a vote for me isn't a vote for me, but a vote for my husband former US President Bill "Skippy" Clinton, who will handle the economy and probably ever other office while I do the ceremonial part of the job.

Good god people it might work where instead of plugging your nose and voting for Hillary, you're actually voting for Bill.

We're through the looking glass here people.

Please have a boardroom like the Apprentice where he fires potential VP candidates across the 4 nights...

Quote:
This is the part of politics he would naturally enjoy, and he wants to control it 100 percent,” said a high-level Trump campaign source. “This is a massive television production and he is a television star.”

Indeed, Trump is viewing the convention as a showcase for the brand he built in entertainment over three decades and then melded with a political persona developed over the last year. It’s an opportunity to fill a vacuum created by longtime Republican standard-bearers, from Mitt Romney and John McCain to the Bush family who are opting not to attend, and to elevate a new coalition of conservatives and present a party refashioned, at least for the moment, in his own image.

And Trump plans to create news events too, not just line up speeches by up-and-coming members of the GOP. He’s toying with unveiling a running mate at the convention rather than before. He’s even considering whether to announce his would-be Cabinet.

“Announcing the vice presidential nominee before the convention is like announcing winner of ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ before the final show is on the air,” one Trump campaign source said. “This is one of the only opportunities to create tension and drama in the whole show. You better believe Mr. Trump understands that and is looking to maximize that.”

Whereas the vice presidential nominee has generally spoken on the third night of the convention and the presidential candidate has taken the stage on the fourth and final night, Trump is considering a scenario that puts him on stage, delivering remarks on all four nights, reaching millions of potential voters, and driving ratings, according to one source.

“We’re past an era of thinking about this through the lens of C-SPAN and looking at this more like the networks would broadcast or cover an Olympics or reality TV programming,” said Kevin Madden, a GOP media consultant who worked for Mitt Romney in 2012 and is not affiliated with Trump’s campaign.

Exactly, I have no idea why she would even imply this, especially at this time.

It should be her job to outline her economic plan, not defer to Slick Willy.

She is trying to tap into Bill's popularity to smooth over her unpopularity and lack of trust (we're a package deal!), but this comes across as a bit desperate and weak imo.

She is just such a poor candidate. Too bad the Democratic leadership will not reverse course and back Sanders, who imo has a better chance to win. But the superdelegate fix has been in since the beginning.

Ummm, what? Reverse course on her 3 million vote advantage? Or her 250+ pledged delegate lead? Bernie's not losing because of the DNC or any "fixed" system, he's losing because he's lost the Democratic base by 30% in this election. And the open primary argument is bunk too because she's won more of those than he has. His supporters are the most insanely passionate in history, there just isn't that many of them it turns out.

Clinton uses The Power of Bill ---> -50 hit points.

Trump uses Racist Rhetoric ---> +40 popularity. +20 approval. Level up!
