Priebus Calls for 'Degree of Diversity' on Trump Ticket
Monday, May 16, 2016 11:11 AM

By: Cathy Burke

Republican National Committee chief Reince Priebus said Monday the campaign of Donald Trump should aim for "a degree of diversity" in its selection of the presumptive nominee's running mate for the general election.

In an interview on The Hugh Hewitt Show – a portion of which was posted on YouTube – Priebus said the vetting process for the No. 2 slot on the national ballot "is far more detailed… than I think is being reported right now."

Priebus urged Hewitt to ignore reports about who might join Trump as his vice presidential candidate – and "assume the Trump campaign understands that while he is an outsider and represents sort of this shakeup in Washington, which you don’t want to lose because I think that is what people want out there across the country..."

"He also understands that we gotta have a real seasoned veteran" on the ballot, Priebus added.

The RNC chairman added he agreed with Hewitt, who remarked on the Trump's "millennial gap," "that there has to be a degree of diversity on the ballot… whether it be a diversity of age, diversity of gender or ethnic background, somehow or other diversity is important in some respect."

"I do think they're gonna take their time and do it right," he added of the VP pick.

Trump last week said he'd narrowed his choices to "five or six people," all with deep political resumes.

"Diversity" - just another liberal code word; fits right in with liberal Trump.

"all with deep political resumes."

Oh. Well thank God Donald Trump isn't a politician and not establishment and stuff.(/sarcasm for clarity) I'm sure his rep as an outsider totally absolves him from the sheer hypocrisy of hiring a full team of DC insiders, Ex-Soros operatives and such.

This must be that vaunted 'balanced ticket' thing. Surround yourself with exactly the people you campaigned on fighting against. Soon we will hear commercials with the movie announcer voice saying in low and ominious super hero tones..."To combat the problem, one man BECAME the problem..."

Seems to me that Trump is a sort of self contained diversity.

That's the key sentence to me.  Doesn't sound like the "diversity" Priebus is discussing refers to age, so we shouldn't expect a ticket-balancing young'un.

Still sounds like Gingrich to me.

Great.  A Trump-Gingrich ticket:  6 marriages, 550 pounds and 143 years of old white dude.

Trump could pick Bernie Sanders as his running mate and the Trump Believers will lecture us all about the absolute Conservative genius of such a move which they would assert makes Trump the ultimate negotiator of deals.

A bunch of unsuccessful comedians here, putting Priebus' words in Trump's mouth.
