What if...no one would accept to be on Trump's team? What sleaze balls would he put in as VP or cabinet positions then?

Jelly Doughnut boy is chomping at the bit.  Caribou Barbie said she'd be willing to be his VP, but admitted she has baggage.  Perry stated he would be willing to be his VP.  I'm pretty sure Corker is going to be his pick.

Since all these wannabes bailed on their conservative values and principles, along with the GOP, they have lost my support.  The GOP needs competition from the right to stop this insanity slide to the left.

Agreed, but don't expect Trump to pick a conservative after all he's a liberal.
