VP pick coming today.
- Thread starter dbmhoosier
- Start date
I don't have a dog in this hunt. I'm not going to vote for him, whoever he picks. But I do think that both of those would be bad picks for him.
Vance offers little contrast to Trump. And Trump is a candidate who needs contrast (given his previous pick of Pence, it would seem he understands this).
Carson offers a great deal of contrast. But he has little, if any, executive experience in the public or private sectors. I realize he was a cabinet secretary. But that's really not the same thing.
I think the overall best pick would be Youngkin -- assuming he would accept it. He's not exactly been a full-throated Trump supporter. The second best pick would be Nikki Haley -- assuming she would accept it.
Of the names that have been floated, I think Burgum would be the best one.
Vance, Vivek, Carson, and maybe Tulsi would be the only sensible picks. Almost everyone else guarantees assassination. Trump has to have insurance. The Deep state hates Vance possibly more than Trump.
I would agree.
But I could totally see Trump making that pick -- making Vance the heir apparent that Mike Pence could never really have been.
Agree on Vance, plus I just don't like him personally.
Carson would be an interesting choice. How do you campaign against someone like him?
I agree Youngkin would be a slam dunk.
Vance would be no slam dunk in 2028, unless he shows something more before then. I don't think he would make it out of the Primaries as nominee.
Vance is on record multiple times disparaging Trump.
Carson is an ethical, highly intelligent and competent man, unsullied by a lifetime of partisan political dirty tricks and CIA/Mossad blackmailing Ops.
The country needs this.
I'm all for Youngkin... My 2nd choice would be Burgum due to his business background...
No one knows yet. We'll find out at 4:30. I'm still pulling for the flying V. Perfect insurance.
Democrats should be thrilled if its Vance. He'd likely be the candidate in 28...and that increases the Dems chances of winning the office back...really no matter how well the Trump admin does during their term.
I can't fathom a climate that won't include Trump fatigue. His constant antics and rhetoric ARE going to remind non MAGA voters why they voted him out in 20'. Obviously if his policy decisions work out well, that'd help Vance...but there's a good chance the pendulum will swing back to "No More Trump" for a lot of the voters that decide these elections...again, just because of who Trump is and how he is going to lead. Vance, as of today, doesn't help that for the GOP.

The only thing Democrats should be thrilled by if it's Vance is the fact that the Veep has almost no constitutional power to actually do anything.
Pick Tulsi...MUGA (Make UncleMark Great Again)!
He's just like Trump though...Above the Law and Hard to KillSomeone the media isn’t suspecting
He might be an upgrade on the in house security side of things... 😉Someone the media isn’t suspecting
He and Rubio are reportedly out of the running... (per Fox 2:14pm EST)
Per Fox, I am wrong.
Rubio and Burgum out. It sounds like Youngkin is a serious 11th hour dark horse.
All trump wants is blind loyalty and someone not very intelligent so as not to show him up
This is why I've been saying that Republicans should not be hoping for a Trump win. It would end up as a net loss moving forward. The time is now to rid the party of Donald Trump and spend the next 4 years trying to rebuild a reasonable image. If Trump is still the face in 2028 it will simply bury the party even longer.
I also think Democrats would be better without Biden/Harris for the next 4 years. This election's losers can get the head start on moving forward. The "winners" get to carry the weight of an unpopular leader into the next election.
Square that circle for me. Vance could be called many things but unintelligent is not one of them.
I was going to take the Putin Shill angle, but you win. I can't think of a shitpost to top that gem. Bravo!
Except for seagal has x ray vision and is an 11th degree black belt in Bullshito. Goat.I was going to take the Putin Shill angle, but you win. I can't think of a shitpost to top that gem. Bravo!
Could it be Matthew McConahey or Aaron Rodgers as VP??? Maybe Putin!🤔
That makes him more scary. He actually knows better, but he is willing to push the Big Lie, he thinks Pence was a pussy and promises he would not have done what Pence was Constitutionally obliged to do, and he PRETENDS to believe every one of the ~30 lies that Trump spews in every hour that he speaks.
RFK Jr. would REALLY shake things up. Got a feeling that he's too big a personality / too little a lapdog for Trump to deal with
