Seriously good question. It may make him or break him.

I suspect that when push comes to shove, his presidency will be similar to the Governorship of California by Schwarzenegger. One thing I don't expect to see - is being on perpetual vacation, taking his family on a vacation to Africa on the Government's dime, etc... or be on perpetual vacation.

And - you may not understand, but personally - if it DOES come down to a Trump V. Shillary contest, your damned right I'll vote for Trump... because as bad the perception is of Don, the one thing that WILL destroy America is having not just a Clinton, but THOSE Clintons, in office.

It's kind of like the old saying... I would prefer not to fight, but if I must, I'll be damned sure to take out the enemy and win. And as much as I'd love to see Gary Johnson make history and win. the reality is, at this juncture, a vote for Johnson MAY put the Clintons back in the Executive Mansion and the Oval Office. You REALLY rant a "reset button rehash", a guaranteed push to gut the Bill of Rights, and making the Obama Legacy permanent, while selling our souls to the Fed? n Vote for Hilldemort.

I'd love to vote with my emotion (after all, doing so IS the American way, apparently)... but this is a chess game, and the stakes are the future of our nation, our freedoms, and our rights. They may have a chance with Trump. They don't stand a chance with She who Shall Not be Named...

Here are some picks I'd vote for

VP: Condoleeza Rice, Allen West

Attorney General: Trey Gowdy, Ted Cruz
Supreme Court: Mike Lee, Trey Gowdy, Ted Cruz
Secretary of Treasury: Rand Paul, Ron Paul
Secretary of State: Condoleeza Rice
Veterans Affairs: Allen West
Head of IRS: Rand Paul

Here's what I think will really happen:
VP: Kasich or Chris Christie

And everything else will go downhill from there.

He could make his whole time in the off white house, (she's no longer a virgin), a reality show...what bothers me is he is "best Friends" with all the people we'd like to send to Gitmo...

If it's a woman, maybe a new version of the Miss USA contest. I wonder if Univision would be interested?
:-)

I'm trying to imagine how that would go. I bet he could get the media to cover it and millions to watch.

Who needs to spend advertising money when you can do that.

Newt Gingrich is close to Donnie .....

As much as I love and respect everyone in the Gulch, it surprises me that most of you don't understand the thought of an "intercessor".

Sometimes... ( rarely but currently in great demand) ...
society needs a strong person to stop the bleeding before those who know what to do can step in and undo damage created by persons with an agenda against society and the culture.

I see a Trump presidency as an opportunity for Objectivists to impact the culture.

He is strong ... but "loosely woven" (so-to-speak).

I think that he will surround himself with the "right" people and NOW IS THE TIME for Leonard, Yaron and others to step up and direct the nation.

Frankly, I think that this is the vortex into the next dimension of individual rights that we have been waiting for.

Seriously sad fun, this best of two horrible choices, will be like a real live version of "The Three Stooges," I'm a #NeverEverHillary. She would be the death of America, Trump we might survive, though it will be a constant, but he will take the Republican Party to its 1857 Founding, and hopefully kill K Street's Golden Goose.

Tradition would favor Kasich, as a popular governor of a key swing state, and an experienced member of the Newt Gingrich team that twisted slick Willie into a balanced budget. However, Trump is anything but conventional, so we could be in for some interesting times.

Christie would be a good pick for AG, as would Trey Gowdy. Florida is another key swing state, so Marco Rubio has an edge over Ted Cruz as a Latino VP.

What about female possibilities? You can see the anger in Fiorina's eyes directed at Trump, so that, combined with her lack of government experience counts her out, IMHO. Mary Fallin, Governor of Oklahoma, has been the chair of the governor's conference, a popular two term Governor, and a congressional representative. While OK isn't a swing state, being solidly "red", it is a key energy state, and she could help manage a revitalization of the U.S. energy profile, starting with the Keystone pipeline. The SC governor, Nikki Haley, shot herself out of a VP saddle, taking the anti-Trump position. Iowa Senator Joni Ernst has a military background, but has only served in the U.S. Senate since 2014. Arizona congressional representative Martha McSally was an A10 "Warthog" pilot and combat veteran, but very junior in Congress. New Mexico Governor Susanna Martinez would check the female and Hispanic blocks, but couldn't help with navigating the DC labyrinth. Forget Condy Rice - she wants to head up the NFL, having had her fill of DC.

Lots of other possibilities, like Indiana Governor Mike Pence, but a too-conservative VP might not help in a general election. There are some experienced figures who have great respect in the capitol environment, but aren't well-known public figures. Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions is reasonably conservative without being strident, and has enough of a public presence that he wouldn't be an unknown.

I suspect Trump, being the master of media suspense, will start a drip, drip campaign of likely candidates for his cabinet, holding off the VP until the right time to make the biggest impact.

He should choose Whatsisname, the first winner of The Apprentice who seems to be very successful , and then Incorporate the USA as a LLC. Turn the whole shebang into a business. That should even make the socialists happy since no business is a republic.

I think that Trump really needs the Latino/Southern vote, and the two candidates that would make most sense for him in VP position would either be Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz.

Other smart picks for cabinet members:
Sec. State: Carly Fiorina
Attorney Gen.: Chris Christie
Surgeon Gen.: Ben Carson
Vet. Affairs: Allen West
Sec. Treasury: John Kasich
Sec. Labor: Rand Paul

he will pick someone who is NOT like him, but will carry out his instructions to the minions in the government, and who will enlist the establishment congressmen to bend from their crony ways. Interesting challenge for sure.

Awesome! Well played.

Since it's between Trump and Hillary, I'm for Trump. Non-action is a choice, so from my point of view non-voting is a vote for Hillary. That's how we got Obama again last elections, by republicans not voting.
There are many good VP possibilities, but I keep thinking Newt.
Allan West at Veterans Administration
Cristie as Attorney General (awesome!)
Supreme Court Justice Ted Cruz, but he doesn't have Judge experience. Even still I think he would be good at it.
Health and Human Services, Carson
Rubio and Kasich would be good in the administration too. And there are many cabinet positions that can be filled by non-political types which would be my preference..

Running the White House like the Apprentice show might be refreshing for a change as opposed to the good old boy system of lifelong career politicians.
