McCrory for VP?
Conservative pundit Ann Coulter has floated Gov. Pat McCrory as a potential vice presidential candidate for Donald Trump. Would the governor take up the challenge?
Posted — UpdatedConservative pundit Ann Coulter, an outspoken Donald Trump supporter, apparently thinks the business mogul and reality star leading the GOP presidential field should look to the Tar Heel State for a vice presidential pick.
"Here's the Gov I was talking about in podcast as possible Trump VP: Gov Pat McCrory," Coulter said via Twitter earlier this week.
The comment was picked up by North Carolina's political Twitterati with a mix of bemusement by some and genuine excitement by others.
Others were less impressed.
Coulter was apparently picking up a thread she started earlier in the year, back when actual campaign news was distracting people.
But here in the pre-Yuletide doldrums, the renewed mention is enough to cause a stir.
So let's have it: Is McCrory ready to check out of NC for a shot at DC? To use the language of the season, McCrory's campaign says the idea is a bit of a humbug.
"The Governor is flattered but committed to making North Carolina a better place to live, work and raise a family," said Billy Constangy, McCrory's campaign manager.
