Even though Vance is a first term senator he's made a big impression!
Ben Carson.
Vance thinks minimum wage laws are helpful, so he is woefully ignorant of economics. I’d prefer Burgum.
Anyone from Florida, No. So that eliminates Rubio, Scott , and DeSantis
No Senators as they are needed in the Senate and often have no leadership skills to be president (e.g., as compared to a sitting or past governor). That eliminates quite a few people.
Noem? Nope, no dog and goat killers.
Burgum? Not inspirational, won't add to the base. Better as a cabinet member.
Youngkin? Same, plus he's kind of failed in Virginia.
Carson? Cabinet position, no swagger to be president.
Ramaswammy? No way. If he wants in the White House, put him in charge of the janitorial staff.
Huckabee Sanders? Maybe
Mike Huckabee? Maybe, that'd be an interesting out-of-the-blue pick.
Gabbard? Maybe, not good on politics, no a Republican, but she'd complement Trump nicely and be a one-and-done VP, not vying for 2028 president.
The other day in Racine, Wisconsin, Trump introduced Eric Hovde. That guy had Trump swagger and competence and speaking presence. I don't know anything about him but I was very impressed with his moment on Trump's stage. More so than any other person he's brought up to the stage this election cycle.
Well, I've got more No's than anything else. I just hope that Trump can really break his cycle of bad picks and choose a VP that we can all cheer.
Good catch.
I prefer the more experienced Burgum.
It’s not a done deal. I think Trump might surprise us with his pick. No matter who it is, certain freepers will endlessly criticize his choice.
It doesn’t matter who he picks, the media will try and destroy them......
Amen. Vance is brilliant, quick on his feet and articulate. Burgumbwill not add one single vote across America, decent as he appears to be.
I’d go with Rubio or Scott. The others won’t add anything to the ticket. It’s more important to win than to get the right successor. Actually I think Tim Scott adds most to the ticket. He’d help in PA, and PA is the essential state to win. If Trump wins PA, then he wins.
Burgum is corporatist, Deep State, NeoCon, BigWar, BigPharma, BigGov guy.
Vance is actually America first.
NOT VANCE.
If that’s PDJT’s choice then he’s an idiot. He hasn’t learned ANYTHING about people.
Who knows but J D Vance looks like the kind of guy Trump would pick. We shall see.
It needs to be someone with strong leadership. Not someone who is “nice and moderate.”
Remember VP George Bush.
You want Hollywood leftist Vance? He is the polar opposite of Ran Paul, he thinks every problem can be solved by bigger and bigger government.
Kid Rock....
JD needs to stay where he is, we need the seat for Trump. Doug will be alright.
Burgum
Money talks...
It does make me LOL a little bit that Vance was a never Trumper at one point-ofc he is not now-and our never Trumpers love him.

Neither.
