Yes, there is a difference between saying and doing.
“Who I hope we keep in the Senate; we need him there.”
I agree, but South Dakota will survive without Kristi Noem.
The pick HAS TO BE for the future of this nation.
Petty politics THIS year won’t cut it. Trump only has 4 years. Can he fix it all in just 4 years?
Look how long it took Biden to undo everything good Trump did.
This election is the 2028 election. It is the life of this nation’s election.
Trump needs to choose the 2028 nominee NOW! To continue his legacy.
Senators or Congress critters don’t make good presidential/vice presidential candidates.
Governors on the other hand are already the top executives in their states.
Kristi Noem (a natural born citizen) is perfectly positioned at this time in her life and career for this position and the next one, president.
“Trump during a TV interview confirmed Noem is under consideration as a potential VP selection. “I don’t know. You know, my answer used to be that President Trump and I had never talked about it,” Noem said. “We’ve talked about it, and what I’ve told him is that I’ll do whatever it takes for me to help him win.”Mar 13, 2024”
No. The best he can do is to get Alito and Thomas to retire on the SCOTUS. That's IF we have the Senate. A lot of IFs.
But if that's all he is able to do, that will still be a huge achievement.
CPAC straw poll
The results, which included 17 possible candidates, were announced on Saturday night:
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem - 15%
Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy - 15%
Former Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard - 9%
New York Congresswoman Elise Stefanik - 8%
South Carolina Senator Tim Scott - 8%
Florida congressman Byron Donalds - 7%
I hope beyond all hope that Trump and the real Republican Party are quietly working ways to stop the massive cheating planned by the Democrats...They saw what happened in 2020 and need to stop this BS from ever happening again...It doesn’t need to be announced or made public...
I am only afraid Trump will just try to win by brut force as he did in 2016, out running the cheat by gaining more votes than they planned their cheat for.
JD Vance is clear and away the best candidate. I read his autobiography, Hillbilly Elegy, and he is one tough cookie. He’s from a poor, white, working-class family that emigrated from Kentucky to Ohio to find work. He knows and admires these “hillbillies.” His mother is (or was) a drug addict addicted to pain killers and then heroin. He spent his childhood being bounced around as his mother, who appears to have been mentally unstable, had five husbands and numerous boyfriends. He didn’t always have a home and he spent his childhood trying to escape horrible family fights and breakdowns. His only stable influences were his grandparents who told him he could do anything and pushed him to study hard, not use drugs, and to stay in school.
He worked his way through college and then law school at Yale at times carrying a full academic load and working three jobs to pay his tuition. He resented people living off the dole who could afford expensive cellphones when he was practically broke working the night shift at a grocery store. He argues that intact families, a connection to a church, hard work, sobriety, and faithfulness to your spouse are the only ways to escape the poverty and despair he experienced.
Most recently, he ridiculed an FBI undercover agent who showed up at a Congressional hearing wearing a fake wig as her “disguise. He said if that’s the caliber of FBI agents, we are in real trouble.
He writes beautifully and is a very intelligent man. I recommend his autobiography to anyone on this forum. Once you read it and hear him argue the MAGA case against the MSM media types, you’ll know he should be the V.P. pick. He didn’t always support Trump, but he has recognized that Trump is on the right track and is now one of his strongest backers. He is a fighter and would wipe up the floor in any debate with Kamala. Add to it, he is a former Marine who says in his book how much he loves this country, how proud he is of it, and how people from his “culture” feel the same way.
It’s a wonderful book.
I already told him I’m too busy.
Ohio is solidly Republican. If Vance is picked to be V.P., the governor will appoint a Republican to fill his seat. No problem there.
Vance is the future of the conservative movement. He has the smarts, the vision, and the guts to take on anybody. Trump needs someone in that spot who can take over when his term ends. Noem, Vivek, Tim Scott, and the others don’t have it. Noem even did a commercial recently backing some dentist. Scott is trying too hard to get the nomination and isn’t smart enough, anyway. Vivek is loony tunes.
I don’t see any of them as presidential material. They’re lightweights and Trump sycophants desperate for his attention and the spotlight. Vance is not. Watch him when the MSM tries to take him down. He doesn’t give an inch. He can out argue anybody, and he is as tough as nails. If Trump doesn’t pick him, he’s really dumb.
JD Vance of Ohio
I can understand how you fell about keeping JD closer to home. He’s one of the few people out there I think who could do a good job as CIC.

Then they will move on to his second pick...
It's best for President Trump to wait for the convention to announce his choice.
-PJ
Smartly, he will (or should) wait until the last minute in order to deny the American Communist Party and its RINO assistants too much time to thoroughly trash the candidate he chooses...
