 Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is giving consideration to retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn as a potential vice-presidential running mate, a Republican source familiar with the process told Reuters on Saturday.

For weeks Trump has conducted a high-profile canvassing of Republican political stalwarts as part of his running-mate search, but he has also made clear he is looking at what a military leader would bring to the ticket.

The source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Flynn has emerged as a possibility, confirming reports in the New York Post and The Washington Post. The Trump campaign had no comment.

Flynn, though a fierce critic of Barack Obama, is a registered Democrat, according to The Washington Post.

The thinking is that Flynn, who has been a foreign-policy adviser to Trump, would be able to help Trump in the area of national security at a time of challenges abroad like the threat from Islamic State militants.

I'm not exactly bothered about Flynnflam being a Democrat. It's theoretically possible to be a Democrat and a still be a good General. He's simply so incompetent that he's forbidden to even look at matches.

For example, he advocated for a naval blockade .... of the Taliban. In a land locked country. It was an interesting briefing, went rapidly downhill from there.  **nononono*

Maybe he'll pick a mooslim, or a woman, maybe a female general, an androgynous person, maybe a tranny.  Wow, this is better than the Kentucky Derby. :silly:

Who appears to be pro "Choice"




Notice he speaks like Trump. Never finishes a sentence which allows the listener to fill in the blanks however they wish.
