Speculation on who Trump will pick for VP?

[Brainster]

Kari Lake

She's decided to run for the Senate against Sinema (and likely Gallegos), which means she was told that she's not going to get the nod. Part of the problem is that she is unlikely to help bring Arizona back into the Republican electoral college column, having pissed off the McCain Republicans (like me) in 2022. If she had won the race for governor in 2022, she'd be pretty much a lock.

On the desk.

He's gonna have to dig her up.

Elise Stefanik seems to be working the hardest to be selected.

I like this one. She's an obsequious sycophant, but not a media hound in the same way as Lake, Greene or Noem. Huckabee is out because she's just not good-looking enough for the rapist in chief.

I do NOT want to see the gun camera film on that one...

The most fascist person money can buy and who can outdo Pence in licking his boots.

Paula Deen?

You don't think he will actually pay a subordinate that serves his base needs, do you?
They are there to take the prison sentence for him . He will figure out what for later.

This guy* has potential, but he might not be conservative enough and is probably too intellectual for the modern GOP.

Sure. If you wanna get all nitpicky and semantic about it.

But tell me this Mr. Constitutional Expert: Where in the Constitution does it say that the VP needs to be alive? Ha! Chew on that unstated legal assumption! (You know what happens when we assume, right?)

So we test that assumption with a dead figurehead/symbolic pick. Trump might prefer that, less potential for the VP to become a rival.


(Oddly enough, I would think that there would be a non-zero chance that Trump might at least consider it. A surprising amount of Washington political function is based on tradition rather than enunciated law. And Trump don't give a fork about those traditions.)

Well, we could put it of the list of things people say Trump can't do, then he does that very thing.

Ivanka, she's the only one T****y actually wants. Donnie Jnr. is actually an al-Assad and Eric was a successful experiment to create the world's most pathetic creature.

 

[PitPat]

There is always a chance that he will pick himself, just in case he gets impeached.

Nah - she’s now outside his zone of interest, too old.

Mirror universe Trump. Even more evil, and with a dashing goatee!

Wouldn't a Mirror Universe Trump be more of a meek good guy, with a goatee, and a reasonable looking haircut?

Possibly so. But then again she's the only person in the world who could passably imitate Ivana, so there's that.
