I'm pretty sure that in a normal election year this would be a deal breaker. But then in a normal election year this fellow would not be on a short list for the GOP VP nomination in the first place.
It's possible that Trump thinks this would be a clever choice anyway. A hardcore, Putin-loving General in the mode of Curtis LeMay who is also a "Democrat" and pro-choice. And frankly, I don't think his hardcore followers will care one bit. They aren't actually religious and they don't really care about abortion or they wouldn't be voting for Trump int the first place. But it could make it even more difficult for some of those Cruz true believers to make the final leap.
