Yep.  Completely superficial, and I could care less about Sessions anyway, after how he threw his former buddy Cruz under the bus for the likes of Trump.

That's still a head-scratcher.

There must have been a personality conflict  They served on a number of the same committees.

Sessions is considered a hard core conservative and has been given an A+ rating by the NRA. Quite honestly, I tend to agree with Sessions on just about every issue other than free trade. He definitely won't help with the Hispanic or female vote.

As things are now could anyone help with Hispanics or unmarried women?

I don't mean just because of Trump. He's his own special kind of stupid. I mean because the media, schools, popular culture and Rats have done such a good job perpetuating the leftist propaganda that western civilization (insert white men) is evil any Pub running for office starts in a negative position and if the candidate is a white man the negative is increased.

Just a thought, but it could be as simple as Trump was getting all the press coverage and was so unusual that he seemed unstoppable (remember it was a Pub year). Sessions may have just wanted to jump on board before the train left the station. I think this happened with a lot of people who endorsed Trump before he had it won. Now a lot of these same people have ended any significance they might have had in politics; Huckabee, Carson, Palin come to mind.

It's called Trump lining Session's pockets with the green stuff and a promise to be one of his cabinet members; VP seemed to be the most persuasive.

Sessions might have looked at his career path and decided that McCain (Armed Services) and Grassley (Judiciary) were intending to die in office and any shot he had of being a committee Chairman was not going to materialize.

Also, he is the Chairman of the Judiciary's Immigration and National Interest Sub-Committee so he might just have the first hand experience to conclude that Trump's plan is the only one that can stem the tide.

I don't know that I've ever looked at Sessions as being particularly venal or craven.  I've always liked him.

I find it quite surprising that after Sessions vehemently vowed for Cruz's stance on amnesty he suddenly shifted and endorsed Trump; right before Super Tuesday. Months later Sessions is then rumored as being on Trump's VP list and now it seems that he is Trump's pick.  Granted it could all be coincidental, I tend to think otherwise.

He could pick David Duke.  Or Pat Buchanon. 
They'd fit in well with his campaign.

Nah, they're not racist enough or stupid enough.

Plus, he could never be on stage with either of them.  Their hands are too big.
