She’s exposing herself well enough on her own.
For a long time I was hoping she’d run for POTUS in 2024 when she was old enough.
But Israel...
Is Tom Cotton a NeoCon?
“I don’t think you understand the process. The presidential candidate doesn’t pick his running mate”
That WAS the process. Is it codified?
Who cares?
let her stay home then.
Success went to her head.
She started to believe she was the reason that people were cheering when it was the message.
Some people get blinded by the cheering crowd and lose their way.
Sad.
Vance is the right man for VP.
A couple of quick hot points from the 2024 presidential race and Trump side of the equation.
♦ First, we can ignore all of the typical pre-debate banter about who is doing what in the lead-up to the Trump v Biden debate. Every cycle the debate narratives are pushed for clicks and attention; almost all of it is manufactured nonsense and false.
Actual, professional, presidential debate teams do not leak information about their debate prep activity to the media. The only information released is from campaign players who want the other side to see, hear and waste time preparing for imaginary nonsense. All of the pre-debate stuff, banter, punditry and column inches are one big mind game of misinformation. Ignore all of it.
♦ Second, the DC system that created Mike Pence as the best option for Trump 2016 is the same system pushing Vance, Rubio and Burgum for 2024. [Example HERE]
The intent with Pence 2016 is the same intent with Vance, Rubio and Burgum ’24. I’m cautiously optimistic President Trump is well aware of this.
Seriously, how many times have you heard me repeat the warning:
NEVER TRUST A NEVER-TRUMPER.
Yet, time and time again people get wooed back, deny their instincts, dismiss the intellectual reality and drop their guard. Every single time the Trump supporters get burned.
This is not complicated folks. The Never-Trumpers do not change position, have an awakening, trip over some “come to Jesus” moment, engage in self-reflection, or otherwise evolve to stop thinking that Donald Trump is the end of their world. Never-Trumpers espoused that opinion, because Never-Trumpers saw value in holding that opinion. It is simple and should be accepted.
Those who claimed Trump was/is horrible, terrible, egotistical, evil and all the other adjectives to describe their sentiments, do not suddenly have a change in perspective. What changes them are changes in the instructions they are given. They begin praising Trump because there is new value in stating that opinion.
NEVER, EVER trust a never-Trumper. The stakes are too high.
♦ Third, apparently the secret service is increasing the security detail around President Trump.
Kelly O’Donnell: “Secret Service is ready to add new protectee detail for Trump running mate. USSS is also increasing size of Trump detail beyond level for formers. Official said, “The Secret Service detail has been bulked up by additional special agents and support teams to ensure the highest level of security for not only the event sites but the travel in between events.” (source)
Generally speaking, the current DC system operators, that are referred to as the ‘Biden administration’, have no motivation to protect Donald Trump other than their sense of personal responsibility to the nation President Trump represents.
Given the effort that Tucker Carlson has put into mainstreaming thoughts around the ‘killing of Trump‘, I am cautious to view any Secret Service effort through the prism of professional altruism.
I pray for the safety of President Trump and his family daily, because I am very clear-eyed about the nature of the enemy he faces.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It makes sense.
Trump needs to pick someone that scares the Democrats even more than Trump scares them.
I’m still pulling for Stefanik. I remember too well how much liberal media loved Vance a few years ago...
For insurance reasons, Trump needs to pick a VP the left is even more afraid of than him.
Vivek would be a great attack dog which is all that is important.
Vivek is a complete fraud and con man, I want no neocon vp either but I sure don’t want some complete fraud con man either
Watching so many folks fall for this con man is beyond disturbing.
The sooner Trump sends that man off somewhere far far away the better.
1. There’s no way in hell Bill Clinton selected Al Gore as his running mate in 1992. It was an open secret in Democratic Party circles that those two despised each other.
2. Reagan had GHWB forced on him by the Republican Party in 1980.
3. Obama didn’t select Biden as his running mate in the 2008. McCain didn’t pick Sarah Palin, either.
In most of these presidential elections, the candidate is a former governor who will doesn’t have insider connections in Washington. The national parties give them running mates who are party hacks as a way of keeping a leash on them.
Extended postpartum depression?
I won’t vote for any NeoCon on the ticket either.
I’m sure you’re correct re those cases.
But, as I said, it’s not codified. It’s just “past practice” and can be changed.
I think VP will be Virginia Governor.
Candy can take her ball and go home because she can afford to.
It’s life and death for average females living in Biden’s America. They want the pain to stop and do not care who his Veep is.
Privilege is Ms Owens and those that sit it out. Illegals won’t be raping them.
