Who would The VP be? I think Dr. Alan Keyes would be a great choice.

Are you looking at Keyes from the standpoint of bringing in the black vote?  If so, do you think the black vote is crucial to Trump or Cruz winning?  I think perhaps looking at the probability of who the opposition is going to pick and try to offset that would be more prudent.  I don't think Hillary will pick someone Black to run with her, I believe she will pick a Hispanic such as Julian Castro to offset Cruz or Rubio or she may pick Warren to pick up the more progressive left voters.

BTW Trump has mentioned that he would pick Cruz as VP.  I am sure Cruz has already selected who he would pick and I not only think they will be surprising but an unbeatable team.

I have always liked Ambassador Keyes!  He was a straight talker long before Trump came along so Yes I think he would be a great VP!

I have always seen Keyes as a great press secretary. He would run rings around those press mopes and he wouldn't put up with their nonsense.
Members of the anti-Trump cabal: Now that Mr Trump has sewn up the nomination, I want you to know I feel your pain.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.
