Donald Trump and Joe Lieberman sitting in a tree . . .

I've seen a couple of videos now where third way Joe is introducing Don. Would it surprise anybody if We see a Trump/Lieberman ticket?

""New Hampshire, you're making history today," Lieberman told the crowd of nearly 2,000 in his opening remarks. "Nothing like this has ever happened before."

With more than 40 percent of New Hampshire voters registered as independents, the bipartisan convention at the downtown Radisson hotel was packed with voters of all philosophical and political stripes — ranging from supporters of a self-proclaimed socialist like Sanders to conservative Republicans with roots in red states."

Also a former Democrat. Experienced with the Congress. Tried to block the ACA. War Hawk. Now an outsider, but stays,connected to the inside.

And how tempting would it be to historically run for VP as Dem & Rep?

I don't think experience in DC politics is going to be a negative if Trump is top of the ticket.

He and Joe had a real bromance going. He will be no more acceptable in 2016.

I still don't think Trump will be nominated.
