If he doesn't secure the non on the first vote, he will not have a say in the ticket.

When I read your title I thought you meant he would be forced to accept the VP the GOP wants, not that he would be forced to be VP. That is hilarious. An ego maniac with a Yuuge following, a bigger ego, who is crushing the competition will be forced to take the VP role.... I honestly lol'd

Nicole Wallace? Really? She has no gravitas. There is no there there. She is a lightweight political Bush Family Evil Empire shill. She'd be a great Fox "News" anchor because she is pretty, but to imagine for one second that she has the chops to bring home an election is absolute lunacy.

Do you work for her? Why else would you even post something so ridiculous?

would be a better candidate they all of them including Trump.
I don't work for her but she has character, smarts and would be their best bet.

They have no chance unless they put a female on the ticket.

Who would you think it will be.

First: His ego will make it impossible for him to pick a VP.

Second: The old guard doesn't want him at all but will go for a deal to save the convention.

Three: They know Hillary will be our candidate so they need a female to have any chance of winning. A younger, nicer, and smarter woman than trump.

Nicolle Wallace served as communications chief during the presidency of George W. Bush and in his 2004 re-election campaign. In 2008, Wallace also served as a senior advisor for the McCain–Palin campaign.

That makes no sense.

As for Wallace, I'd dismiss her out of hand as a nobody, but I don't think that would stop the GOP; it might even be an advantage if she has little baggage.

He picked one for years on TV. Does he have subordinates in his campaign or is he running that all by himself at the same time as his businesses? This prediction is so out of the realm of possibility I am left thinking you just wanted to get your post count up a few... Not that there is anything wrong with that

on the ticket is better than no place.

Also it will save him a lot of money since he will not have to bankroll his run.

Which should disqualify her from ever running for anything herself. She should be embarrassed by her role in trying to groom the miserably unqualified Palin to be VP. I am sick of seeing her all over the airwaves as a talking head. Steve Schmidt, too.
