“I think her speech a couple of nights ago was totally irresponsible when she talked about white people being to blame”, Flynn said of the presumptive Democratic nominee. “I like the concept of the generals”, Trump said Wednesday on Fox News. But on Monday morning, in an interview with The Post, Trump suggested he was leaning toward an establishment politician who would be “good for unification”, saying “I have such great respect for the general, but believe it or not that will be one of my strong suits”. “I believe the law should be changed”, Flynn told Fox News.

Flynn, a registered Democrat who has been very critical of President Obama, pretty clearly offered a stance that is in favor of abortion rights.
On Monday, Gen. Flynn described himself as a “pro-life Democrat” and that he personally believes the “law should be changed” with regard to abortion. “Susan B. Anthony List, one of the leading pro-life groups, said Flynn’s interview “disqualified him” from further consideration”, writes the Washington Post.
One of Donald Trump’s potential running mates said Sunday that women should be the ones to decide whether or not to have abortions.
Flynn’s background as the former top military intelligence official would also certainly help the Trump campaign hammer his rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, over her unauthorized use of a private email server.
Flynn has reportedly developed a close relationship with Trump since, and is one of two generals who Trump may be considering to be his vice presidential pick.
The Donald Trump veepstakes are nearing the finish.
According to the daily, Trump said he was prizing political experience over military experience for two main reasons. It’s an unbelievable honor.
Trump said he would ‘make my mind up over the next three to four days, ‘ after tweeting July 6 that he would announce his decision in a day.
“I would not think a second to vote for anybody else”, he told CNN’s Chris Cuomo on “New Day”. “To make matters worse, our political leaders insist that the war is going very well, and the scores of professional analysts who know better are being censored when they report the truth to their superiors”.
Gingrich accompanied the billionaire businessman at an OH rally last week, while Christie and Pence will trek along with Trump to events in Virginia and in over the next few days.
“They’re usually trying to provide some kind of political bump or political energy or political attractiveness with their VP nominee in such a way as to carry a state or a region or to send some sort of a message”, he said.
“I vote for leaders”, said Flynn, “and, honestly, I didn’t vote much in the military because I served whoever is the commander-in-chief”.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence are nearly certainly on the list.
