Are there any shameless Repugs left that would actually be interested in Trumpolini's VP nod?

Or has he become too toxic for even the cream of the hate-filled crazies?
When Donald calls, is everyone busy giving the dog a bath or detailing their car?

He's term-limited from running for Gov again and has nothing else to lose. His considerable ego would enjoy the attention even knowing the campaign is doomed. Same with Newt. A chance to get in the history books.

...it will be a lot of 3rd or 4th tier choices with little experience/a lot of negatives. I won't be any of their heavy hitters (whoever that might be) but likely someone with nothing to lose or who's career has stalled out. This is what I think his pool of candidates looks like:

-Little known House or Senate members

-Republicans that have been out of office for years, even decades

-Well known republicans with a massive amount of baggage

-Random high ranking military member with no political experience

Scar said Christie should grab his coat and head out the door, distancing himself from Donald while he still has any reputation left. The panel of guests said it's too late, he's already toast!
I think I did read that his favorables are at an all-time low in N.J.
(Is it wrong of me to be smiling?)

Would jump at the chance.

Barbour sounded like he was interviewing for the job on an interview I saw with him.

Churchy Spice would LOVE that spot on the ticket if for no other reason it'd set her up for several more years of separating rubes from their money.

McGramps and company never properly vetted her the last time around. When Schmidt and Wallace actually found out how colossally stupid Palin is, they soiled themselves. Nicole Wallace says to this day, she still has PTSD.
Plus, most Alaskans now despise her and there are lots of secrets about what a fraud she really is (and first Dude Todd too) that are just waiting to be told.
