[Sherman Stock](http://www.jsonline.com/news/opinion/letters-b99756745z1-385933361.html) of Hales corners suggests Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke could be Trumps Vice Presidential pick. I say, why not. They’re both narcissistic assholes. They’re both phonies (Trump is a fake Republican, Clarke is a fake Democrat). They both say outrageous, ridiculous things. And it’ll be fun to see 2 egomaniacs go down in flames. And if the impossible happened and Trump were to win, it would finally get Clarke the hell out of Milwaukee. ---

I’m a political junkie and I’ve never heard of Clarke. Trump would pick Joe Arpaio if he wanted a loudmouth sheriff. ---

Jesus christ. I know that Trump is going to have to scrape the bottom of the barrel but a goddamn County Sheriff? A Democratic County Sheriff? That’s about as insightful as suggesting Carrot Top. And how is pairing two narcissistic assholes a workable situation? I can only assume charitably that this is a joke thread. ---

No fair pawning off your troubles on the rest of us. I’ve got Mark Sanford - hiking the Appalachian Trail - as a Representative. I should get to go first. ---

A narcissist like Trump would never share the spotlight with another narcissist. ---

Clarke is a Democrat? He’s Fox News’s favorite House Black Sheriff. ---

> [@Rick\_Kitchen](#): > > Clarke is a Democrat? He’s Fox News’s favorite House Black Sheriff. Did you read the OP? He’s a fake Democrat. A Republican would never get elected Sheriff in Milwaukee County (well, he would if the City of Milwaukees votes didn’t count) so Clarke runs as a Democrat. ---
