Have at it!  I'd appreciate serious answers only, but we can all use a good laugh now and again.

Can we have a "who cares" option?  :tongue2:

Failing that - how about Charles Ponzi?

I'm not happy about the impending Trump nomination either.  At least Ponzi schemed secretly :P  But as to "who cares," I do!  I'm #NeverHillary, not #NeverTrump.  Even if you're #NeverTrump, suppose you are a computer and have to pick the most likely "helpful" VP pick.

I was semi serious about Ponzi though - I keep hearing two connected things. Social Security entitlements need reforming, and that it's a Ponzi scheme. Who better to fix it than the guy that perfected it?  :shrug:

I'm with you so much on SS.  When I was in law school in the early 90s I dabbled with a group called Lead Or Leave, non-partisan effort to reform SS.  Even then it was obvious we were headed for disaster.  Me, I favor transitioning over a decade or so into a la Chile to a system of forced savings -- but in your OWN account, invested by YOU in hundreds of government-audited ETFs, mutual funds, etc.

Didn't vote.  Don't care.  It should be someone seeking to destroy their reputation with conservatives.

Why? There is no difference between them and they are both full members of the Clintoon Crime Syndicate!

Ponzi has passed on.  But his modern day equal ....Bernie Madoff is available, with a pardon.

Seriously, he should pick Oprah. It would cement who he really is.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Well, he's spoken very favorably about Oprah in the past, but there is not way on God's green earth that Oprah would sign on.  She may find him pleasant private company, but she doesn't share his politics.

I voted someone else. He should fully cap off this absurdity by selecting a monkey to be his VP.

Bernie Sanders

The only way he is going to get all the cross over Dims the Trump supporters keep talking about is to feel the Bern. Of course, other than Hilliary Bernie is the most philosophically compatible with Trump and he has smaller hands than Hilliary so Trump wont feel threatened...

Man, I though *I* was Druck Fump ... I hate trump, but if it's Him vs Hillary or Sanders, I'm with Him.  Idiotic, Trumpanzee, Spray-tanned Him.  We just have to surround him (staffing wise) with true conservatives to minimize the damage.

How are we going to surround him with anything? The President chooses his cabinet and advisors.

Fair enough: You can't force the top guy to listen to anyone.  But you can pressure.  You can make it clear that he's only there on pain of listening to certain people.  CONSERVATIVES.  Team of Rivals and all that.

Sanders or Clinton.  They're his natural counterparts, or did you miss Trump's swing to liberal positions on taxes and the minimum wage.
