Audience Member: Is there any discussion or would you look forward to changing the way the debates are structured so that the media doesn’t have so much control over them? Like more like a pool system or something?
Randy Evans: We’re just going to take them over next time. To be honest, I’m just telling you.
This time, all I did, for those of you who are lawyers, is all I did was Marbury versus Madison, which was demonstrate that in fact we have the power to control them and the next time around we’re just going to take them.
And so, the short answer is, yeah that’s what we’ll do.
Well I don’t want to keep you here forever, so I’m going to leave you with one brain teaser that’s really occupying the leadership at the RNC and the congress and the senate and the campaigns.
And this is the brain teaser, as you know typically with a presumptive nominee, what do they do about two weeks before the convention?
They vet a VP.
Now I participated in that, I participated when Senator McCain was considering Sarah Palin versus Joe Lieberman, I participated all the way through these things.
Now if you don’t even know if you’re going to win or not, because you don’t have twelve thirty seven, how do you go about vetting a VP?
And so you can see one of the not yet written on in the media, oh well, until tomorrow, challenges that we face, really is how we go about vetting with adequate opportunity a viable vice presidential candidate when we don’t even know who the nominee will be.
And I don’t know the answer, so if any of you have an answer to that question, I’d be happy for you to share it with me. I will give you the appropriate attribution, but you can see that the level of detail that we’re now getting into as we approach the convention where we don’t have a presumptive nominee in place.
And so with that said, I’ll say this, I have sat down eye to eye many a day with all three of the candidates who remain in this race. I’ve sat down with Donald Trump, I’ve sat down with Ted Cruz, I’ve sat down with John Kasich, I worked with John Kasich when he was the budget czar for Newt, when Newt was speaker.
These are all good men, they would all be better than Hilary Clinton.
And so, I can only say to you what I said to my mother, my mother, I went home and she said, “I just don’t know what we’re going to do.” She said, “But you’ve looked them in the eye and the question I have for you is would you trust any one of them to be our President?” And I said mom, not only would I absolutely trust them, I would expect you to trust them too. And there’s no higher standard than the trust of your own mother. Thank you for having me today.
