Trump’s Short List Is Getting Shorter

Rick Klein: “Maybe the plan for shortening Donald Trump’s short list is as simple as having his surrogates go on television for him. The latest examples came in the wake of Trump’s insistence that a federal judge’s Mexican heritage leaves him unqualified to hear a case against Trump, a statement that Trump defenders have been loath to defend… Is anyone on board with Trump for this one? What about the next one, or 10?”

“Every campaign gets second-guessed by supporters and surrogates. But Trump is drawing out more than that – not just angst, but outright rejection from those who describe themselves as supporters. If Trump insists on 100 percent loyalty from his vice-presidential pick, the list is already minuscule.”
