Donald Trump is of course leading the fray when it comes to the GOP presidential nominee. The apparent likelihood that he'll square off against the Democratic nominee (Hilary Clinton or Bernie Sanders -- probably the former) in the general election has led to speculation on Trump's running mate. And that brings us to the baseball hook for this dispatch, which involves the beloved future Hall of Famer Derek Jeter. Take it away, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd ... All right. To be sure, Trump's candidacy seems to have some traction among retired former Yankees, but this one seems to strain credulity. Jeter's never really provided much of a window into his political beliefs, and it's hard to see someone as polished and image-conscious as The Captain attaching himself to someone as controversial as Trump has been of late. As it happens, Jeter once owned a condo in Trump World Tower in New York, but he sold not long before the Yankees fell to the Tigers in the 2012 ALCS. Jeter, of course, suffered a broken ankle in Game 1 of that series and was sidelined until July of the following year. Regarding those seemingly unrelated events, here's an old tweet from Mr. Trump himself ... Hmm. Anyway, Vice-President Jeter? Developing!

Screw Jeter. The Rev-Rund Al Sharpton would be the IDEAL VP running mate for Tremendous Trump. Just look at what they have in common. They are both enormous gas bags and career con artists,and neither one of them gives a damn about anyone but themselves. Rev-Rund Al would go for it because it might set him up as the next Prez,and he would bring almost all of the black vote with him.
ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
