Who Will Trump Pick for VP

Demarcus ware Wrote:That was my point. Republicans haven't used it or in fact haven't really done anything in a long time. That has allowed an opening for someone to stand up and say no more. Granted it was a Billionaire reality tv star, but i'll take it over Hillary. We have no idea what he will do, and while that is a scary thought, i'll still take the chance over another 8 years of what is known with Hillary. Republicans have gotten lazy, or just scared, but at some point someone from this party has to stand up and stop worrying about what label the media puts on them, otherwise today is our future. Today Obama is trying to order Schools to open bathrooms for everyone, being the bully he is, and the cowards in DC, he will end up with his way unless someone stands up. The only Republican i've seen say anything so far, is Matt Bevin. Although i haven't looked too hard to see what's being said, it's disgusting enough without seeing all the liberals praising him for it in the comments section Confusednicker:

Me personally, i don't really care who votes for who. It's the Freedom of choice that's the greatest thing, plus to be honest the whole NeverTrump crowd doesn't really make a difference one way or the other. A lot of them will still vote for Trump when the time comes, just have to let them get through the 5 stages of grief and they will come around. Like i said before, i think Trump beats Hillary easily, and he will surround himself with the right people, and the future will be somewhat brighter for us all.

First off, DMW, and I sincerely mean this, thank you for the lucid response. :Thumbs:

It's been a few hours since you posted that so you may have seen it, but I'll give you a nice run down of the governors and/or attorney generals that have stood up to that crazy order issued by the administration. Let me tell you that I agree with everything you said about this being a law used by Obama to bully the school system into his agenda.

Matt Bevin (I didn't vote for Bevin in the primary - I voted Heiner - but I sure love Bevin and the job he has done! You had actually already mentioned him, but I'll add this to the list.)

WV Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (A bit of a surprise to me)

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick (Neither a surprise, but great to see)

Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant (Also not a surprise, but glad to have)

Obviously I think NC Governor Pat McCrory will stand up to it, Lieutenant Governor Dan Forest already has.

Utah Governor Gary Herbert (He really backed down when a judge ruled against a homosexual "couple" recently - I was very disappointed in that but glad he's standing here)

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (Backed down on the religious freedom bill - glad to see him taking a stand here)

Indiana Governor Mike Pence (Also backed on the religious freedom bill - glad to have him here)

Idaho Governor Butch Otter (Recently backed down when he could have helped the Church - glad to have him here)

South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard (Recently backed down when he could have passed a law similar to NC)

The liberal praise you mentioned, yes, was absolutely disgusting and pathetic. But the good news at this point is that at least we have some like Bevin that have backbone and others that don't - that have taken a massive stand on this issue.

I think Trump will take a stand on this issue just because there is so much pressure on him coming from the Republican Party to do so. With that being said, I'm curious as to what level he stands. The straw that broke the camel's back in my decision not to vote for him was watching him on the Today show when he was talking about HB2 in North Carolina. You and I both strongly oppose any aspect of the LGBT agenda - Trump used the argument that NC was losing business because of the bill. Governor Pat McCrory took a big stand against corporations which generally surprised me because his history isn't very strong, for example when he vetoed a bill last year that would have protected judges from performing same-sex "wedding ceremonies."

One of the cornerstones of Trump's campaign has been standing up and sticking it to big business. Unfortunately, he did not stand up when it came to the LGBT agenda. Trump made a tweet in the beginning that he would be one of the best representatives Christians have seen in a long time. On issues like this, he has not taken a stand. We can only hope, and pray, at this point, that Trump has a change of a heart on a few issues.

I get your frustration, DMW. You've wanted this country to return to good values and moral decency, while taking fiscal responsibility and standing up to terrorists, not coddling them as we are now. I understand your frustration there because I share it, and also think that the problem the GOP establishment has lies in both what you said in terms of laziness and fear of being cast as bad people in our media. If this were 2008 or 2012 with the candidates they sent, I'm not sure where I would be leaning. This time though, we have multiple candidates that have a consistent record of fighting both the Democrats and the GOP establishment but have been heavily outnumbered in their battles. Trump was able to pin them with the establishment, and unfortunately we let our emotions regarding the frustration with the establishment cloud our judgment in determining a trustworthy candidate to send. If this were 2008 or 2012, I might have been for taking this kind of risk, but considering we had multiple candidates that would have done well in beating Hillary and the establishment we did not need to take that kind of risk.
