Before the next Republican presidential hopeful can make it to the White House, he’s going to need a strong running mate. Sowell believes Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions could be that man. “If Republicans choose a governor as their presidential candidate in 2016, someone like canny Senator Sessions could make a very valuable contribution as vice-president, able to pass on to a new president the fruits of his experience in the Washington environment, along with his ability to resist the pitfalls of that environment,” he said. This is not the first time a notable conservative has thrown Sessions’ name into the mix as someone who could be well suited for the White House. “Jeff Sessions, we need Sessions for President,” Nationally syndicated radio host Laura Ingraham said last year on her show. “Really, is there anyone out there who is better than Jeff Sessions on any of these issues? He’s great. I think someone like Sessions could probably attract Democrats, Hispanics who are here legally who are tired of these stupid trade agreements and who have had their own wages undercut by illegal immigration, African Americans, certainly I think a lot of Tea Party people. Sessions is one of the few people to actually say it like it is.” Sessions, for his part, has always dismissed the idea that he should run on a national ticket. “I always say, unlike my opponents, I know I’m not qualified,” he says with a laugh. But it’s that kind of humility that his proponents say may make him the ideal leader to serve.
