Who will be on Rand's ticket for VP?

[Peace&Freedom]

Rand should pick his father Ron. Then nobody will assassinate Rand, and Ron could run the Adminstration the way Cheney did while in charge of G.W. Bush's.

And you wonder if Greg Brannon is electable. SMH.

 

[GopBlackList]

y'all are aware that the role of the VP is to be a conduit between the White House and Congress? So folks like Sarah Palin, Ventura, etc. wouldn't be great candidates.

Poll is absurd...Nutcase Jesse Ventura? Judge Napolitano? Gary Marijuana Johnson? Russ Feingold? A WWE wrestler? Bob Barr?

I thought this was supposed to be serious...

Might be getting a weee bit ahead of ourselves there.

I would prefer Justin Amash, but realistically it has to be Hispanic. That leaves Cruz, Rubio, Martinez and Raul Labrador. Rubio is too neo-con so that leaves the other 3.

There's really no slam-dunk option that is apparent, unfortunately.

Cruz is too incendiary and is much less appealing to Hispanics then Martinez or Labrador, largely because of their respective stances on immigration. If it's Hillary, you don't think the added allure of a female Hispanic will overpower the campaign's thought process? Heck even if it isn't Hillary.

New Mexico is blue, Idaho is red.
Martinez is an executive, Labrador is a legislator.

Labrador is more philosophically in-line with Rand but not by nearly enough to trump all those other factors. I think it will be an easy decision.

VP's also get a leg up to become the next president. You'll need to factor that in as well.
