Michele Bachmann Would Pick Santorum or Trump as Running Mate: VIDEO
Michele Bachmann says she "can't wait to shred Obama's radical agenda to pieces" in a debate and talked to Greta van Susteren about who she would pick as running mates:
...among them real estate mogul-turned-reality TV star and perennial possible presidential contender Donald Trump. She also mentioned fellow presidential candidate Rick Santorum, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, and conservative South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint as possible picks for her cabinet or VP slots.
"I think that Rick Santorum is a wonderful man personally, but also, I think that he's very gifted when it comes to the area of legal issues," Bachmann told Van Susteren. "And I think I could see him as an attorney general. I think he'd do a great job. I haven't talked to Rick about that, but I think he'd be wonderful, or another cabinet position." I think that he'd also be on my short list of people that I would consider for my VP.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
Greta's face pretty much says it all, doesn't it?
Not that she stands a chance of having to make that decision.

Bachmann was in my college town yesterday, so I went to hear her speak. She's even scarier in person. And she likes to bully LGBT high schoolers who have the balls to stand up to her.

Only an all-out ass like her would pick dumb or dumber for a running mate. Boy, is she getting ahead of herself or what? LOL!

First off WTF is with Greta's face. She looks like a victim in Silence of the Lambs.
And as far as Michelle...if God really told her to run, it's payback for being such a horrible, evil, repugnant soul. Because she wouldn't stand a chance against Obama in a general election. Rick Santorum? Wouldn't it be wonderful to crush both these disgusting pieces of crap in one sweeping tsunami of people stampeding away from them? Trump?!? God, she's insane, clinically so.
Sadly, we won't get that chance. She'll be back trying to muster some camera time with crazy talk in about six months when she proves to be another blip also-ran. Wise up Minnesota, get rid of this batsh*t idiot. She makes you all look bad.

in other words, she's counting on appealing to the lowest of the lowest common denominator in America.
what a surprise.

Her dream team sounds pretty much like my idea of Hell.

Yeah, that would be a balanced GOP ticket.

I'm convinced that the Rep. party wants Obama to have a second term. It's seems that they can't find a candidate with enough common sense to give Obama a good challenge. So, the Dems win because they can't even present a viable candidate....someone not cheating on his wife, without ethics violations, not actually conversing with "god", not bringing home dead babies from the hospital for desert, not suffering from dimentia.
Are they all really democrats, well-disguised as republicans? I guess we'll all have to thank them when this is over !!

Before we all go off the deep end and knee-jerk-condemn Mrs. Bachmann for this list of possible VP and cabinet positions, I think we need to step back and look deep into ourselves, and then ask, "Is this woman nuts? As in really crazy? Delusional at best? Clinically mentally ill?"
No one has rationally put forth this arguement into the political arena in a civilized discourse.
There are several elephants in the GOP room and that is one of them.

Not that Bachmann stands a chance but NO ONE would elect her president if Santorum was her running mate. Could you imagine? Oh. My. God.

Stupid question to ask. Her campaign is over.

Terrifying.

@PAUL B. re: "...not bringing home dead babies from the hospital for desert..." That bit made me spit my coffee across the room. Thank you!

Something about the writing of Bachmann Santorum" just makes me giggle.

That sound you hear is Jesus spinning in his.....
...no, that's not it.

I love how she criticizes Obama for campaigning all the time!
Posted by: Ted | Dec 1, 2011 3:12:02 PM
Crazy picks crazy. This does not surprise me in the least. I just keep wondering why anyone continues to give her airtime?

Dan Savage...calling Dan Savage. Please report to the "must comment" emergency room, STAT.

This might give me nightmares! Fortunately, I'll wake up and realize it's just a bad dream. What a maroon...

@Davelandia: Greta van Susteren not only puts on whatever Republican idiot her Faux Noise overlords tell her to, she puts on any political figure her husband happens to be friends with and/or advise on a pro bono basis. Please check out:

She's a corporate shill and a whore who denigrates the very concept of journalistic integrity.

WTF.
What is this ? A wish list for the damned ?

If her husband ran a legitimate mental health care clinic, I'd suggest she go.

Well, Michele Bachmann's taste in men has never been her strong point, has it.
