Trump Rules Out Picking a Democrat

Despite surrogate Ben Carson telling the Wall Street Journal that Donald Trump would consider an independent or even Democrat for his running mate, the presumptive Republican nominee said he would do no such thing, Politico reports.

Said Trump: “I would rule him out. Or her out.”

He added: “I want to have a great ticket. The Democrats have been in there a long time, the economy is terrible. The real unemployment rate is probably 20 percent. Jobs are leaving. Look at Carrier, look at so many companies. They’re leaving.”
