Speculation on who Trump will pick for VP?

Most interesting speculative theory I've seen is that Trump and RFK jr could run as a "unity party" ticket and that the RFK primary run is basically laying the groundwork for this.

A conspiratorial, right wing democrat running with Trump is exactly the kind of "centrism" that a certain slice of our braindead pundit class would treat as some tremendous accomplishment in our political system. A woo-woo crackpot would be a good VP choice to try to assuage the conspiratorial crowd that might have had their faith shaken by Trump's vaccine advocacy. Nutbags and outright fascists could be a winning coalition in the US, we have lots of both.

I don't think so. And there is nothing 'centrism' about such a Trump/RFK Jr. team. It's an extreme criminal nut job and an extreme crackpot combination. The Kennedy name doesn't have the appeal it used to have, even to the older generation.
 
This is actually an important question. Probably a female but not sure who would want to touch him right now since whoever he's touched has been historically thrown under the bus if he gets irritated.

Easy to talk from the sidelines, but I can't think of a viable VP right now beside the crazies.

My Bold: That probably includes his wife!

Otherwise, there's Nikki Haley, but she's probably put herself on his enemies list just by running against him. But why exclude the crazies? Kristi Noem of South Dakota, for instance? She's crazy, a loyal Trumper, and unlike Haley, White. Or there's always Kari Lake.

MTG and Colorado Barbie. Both would kiss his fat orange butt.
 
I'm going dark horse, Palin.

A lot of people say that what we really think started with Trump in fact started, or at least had the seeds planted, with Palin.

She's more or less putting her resume in. Would not be that surprised and it would be fun to watch.

Works for me; she already prevented one Republican from winning!
Problem is, she's been pretty much totally out of the spotlight for a long time. It's as if nobody's ever heard of her by now.
Plus, she's 59 years old. That's WAY too old for Trump!
 
Realizing that Trump would only pick someone who passes his loyalty test, and realizing there is no limit to the shenanigans that would take place, it's likely that his VP selection will need a criminal defense attorney.
 
Palin competes with grifting. Remember when she bought all those expensive new clothes. Might not be a Trump choice for that reason. :sdl:
