Donald Trump will soon have a running mate. If I had a chance, I would ask the running mate the following questions:

Do you think NAFTA was a good thing for America or a bad thing?

Do you think trade increases American prosperity or decreases it?

Would you default on our debt?

Donald Trump says there is no need to reform entitlements. All we need to do is ferret out “waste, fraud, and abuse” in the federal government. Do you agree?

Will you build a wall? Will you get Mexico to pay for it? How?

Do you agree with Trump that the minimum wage should be hiked?

And that taxes should be hiked?

Do you think the NATO alliance is important?

Do you think our alliance with South Korea is important?

With Japan?

Do you admire Putin?

When it was pointed out to Trump that Putin kills his political opponents, Trump replied, “Well, I think our country does plenty of killing also.” Do you see it that way too?

Trump has said that Saddam Hussein was a great foe of terrorists, and therefore a force for stability. Do you agree?

Do you believe that George W. Bush and his people lied the country into war?

Do you believe that Bush should have been impeached, as Trump does?

Do you believe that the impeachment of Bill Clinton was idiotic and frivolous (as Trump does)?

Do you think the president should order the military to act outside the law?

Will you release your tax returns? Should Trump?

How do you stand on the Kennedy assassination? Do you think Ted Cruz’s dad had a hand in it?

How do you feel about the physical mocking of physically handicapped people, for the enjoyment of an audience?

Would you send your kids to Trump U?
