I’m busy that night, so I’m out.
1. “At the Convention” 2. And my guess will be the VP will be AMONG those at the fundraiser and not announed until formally at the convention, where Trump will name the VP pick and ask for unanimous consent.
I’d say it’s Rubio. As a Catholic Hispanic Trump could flip a lot of swing states like PA.
Rubio is a snake. Didn’t Trump call him “Little Marco back in 2015/2016? Never forget...
Trump does that with everybody, until they get on his side.
I wouldn’t read too much into that, unless Rubio crossed some line that Trump put in the sand.
There is a good chance that he is focused on the Latino vote, the American Latino vote who are loyal Americans.
You beat me to it. We’re both out of luck.
🙃 🙄
I’d say it WON’T be Rubio because that FORFEITS 30 Florida electoral votes as per Constitution. I’m getting tired of all these posts that overlook that inconvenient FACT. OH, and NEWSFLASH! JD Vance is also Catholic.
Agreed. This announcement is meaningless, but a great way to attract attention, publicity, and name recognition for whomever the eventual VP nominee will be.
Looks like I’m out too. Dang it. At least they still have my application for Grand Inquisitor and Lord High Executioner open. I could be...busy...
It won't be Rubio.
Trump will be fighting enough meritless legal battles should he win the election without needing to add the legitimate legal battle of both candidates being from Florida to his plate.
And he isn't going to relocate from Mar-a-Lago.
Rubio is not my first choice but he’s a winner of elections, Hispanic and has a potentially presidential image. I think he’d scare the left senseless. We all want a definitively non-globalist vp but I’m not sure there is one unless it’s Tucker or MTG.
Im not decided who I believe would be best for Veep, but these three all appear to be capable folks. One thing about Rubio is that either he or PDJT would have to move their state of residence (easy for Trump to do but would he want to, harder for Rubio?)
Let’s let the DNC keep their firm hold on the Constitutional Violations Prize (Obama, Harris...)
If it’s Rubio, who moves out of Florida? Does Rubio give up his Senate seat and move or does Trump move out of Mara Lego?
Right - one of them will have to change Florida residency.
I’ve never taken the talk of Rubio, DeSantis, Donalds seriously because of this.
It has been suggested they would only have to change their residency prior to the meeting of the Electoral College to get around this problem but that’s cutting it awfully close to risk losing on a technicality. (of course, if the ticket wins by more than 30 electoral votes then it becomes academic, but potentially forfeiting 30 electoral votes off the bad is certainly not a recipe for success).
First time I saw Burgum...thought yes...that face was made for a Dollar Bill some day.
Background on the guy...I keep googling.
I sure as hell don't want to touch a Senator's seat....so I'll go with Burgum.
Let Rubio keep Florida as a non option for the Dems.
It’s cool that he’s hyping this - but there’s no chance he’ll make a decision before knowing who he’s running against.
