Both have been quoted speaking glowingly about the brilliant, fresh face of texass.


On the other side, Bible Spice's "Use By" date has long expired. The remnants, even inside the tin can, are just too hideous to behold.

Half term Governor from HI- state located near the Asian Continent. He can say that he sees China from his window.

Nasty, experienced, and solid far right credentials.

Sing this to the tune of Yankee Doodle................

Johnny Bolton came to town, a right wing stalking pony
No one really liked him except Bush and Berlusconi
“You’re here to serve Uncle Sam, make sure you understand it.
All the world should obey us, and I’m here to demand it!”

Johnny Bolton went to town, diplomacy a’ready.
Use kind words to win them over, or else just aim steady
Bolton will ne-go-ti-ate with friend and with rogue nation:
“Do things our way or you face complete annihilation!”

or maybe Pat Robertson? Jesus Christ himself? The point is moot, he will never reach the point of choosing a running mate.

if a bit fun.

Nobody generally announces VP until after the primaries. Seems unlikely he'll win that.

Actually the Constitution says an elector can't vote for prez and vp from same state.

So an elector could vote for prez and then someone else for vp.

If no one gets majority for vp, senate picks so if their party controlled the senate, you could have both prez and vp from same state.

Even if they shared the same ideology, the guy is still a total d*ck to people and they wouldn't be able to stand him...
