CLUELESS “USA Today” Publishes Blatantly Inaccurate “Power Ranking” of Trump VP Candidates
USA Today has the highest circulation of any newspaper in the United States and is also a top 100 website.
You would think that given their prominent stature they would feel some responsibility to report the most important event in America, the 2016 election, with some accuracy. You would then be mistaken.
Tuesday, USA Today published their “Trump Vice President Power Rankings”
This list just shows that the political writers at USA Today have less of a clue than the average casual follower of the 2016 election.
First of all, their OWN PUBLICATION reported Nikki Haley is not being considered earlier in the month.
Trump has tweeted Marco Rubio is NOT on the list.
The @washingtonpost report on potential VP candidates is wrong. Marco Rubio and most others mentioned are NOT under consideration.

John Kasich is currently undecided as to whether he even wants to endorse Trump and has said he does not want to be Vice President. There is absolutely no reporting that there is any interest whatsoever from Team Trump in considering Kasich for VP.
Joni Ernst became a very unlikely candidate when Trump aide Paul Manafort mentioned going out of the way to pick a woman would be seen as pandering.
Thus, the only two candidates left in the USA list are Corker and Gingrich. We agree with Gingrich but don’t see any reason whatsoever why Corker should be ranked above him. We also think Jeff Sessions should be listed ahead of Corker and Haley, Rubio, and Kasich should not have made the list at all.
So much for the #1 Newspaper’s knowledge in politics. Sheesh.
