Kristi Noem

40% favor Noem in the last 30 days on FR?! No way!!!
Its missing data that is not there - Freepers who have not expressed a VP preference.
With a VP candidate, you at least need to not do any harm to the ticket. Since Vivek is Hindu, that would likely cause many—probably millions—of conservative Christians to stay home. There is nobody among those mentioned who would do more harm to the ticket than Vivek. Stefanik would also do a great deal of harm.
Remember this,
I’m sure Trump considers any VP he chooses will be the next president after him.
That is why Obama chose Biden, someone he could manipulate
as Democrats all march in straight leg lock step.
Pubbies not so much, so it is more difficult to make decisions as to your successor if you want an agenda to survive.
And Ramasammy is new to Republican party and he wants to disenfranchise those same young voters! How will that go over? Ramaswammy wants to raise the voting age to 25!
You like Tulsi? Guess you aren’t a fan of the 2A. Which is fine, I just vehemently disagree with you and her on that issue.
I would take a governor over a Senator, and I’d take “none of the above” and a “totally unexpected” choice over all them. Trump the non-politician politician should pick another non-politician.
I could live with Tulsi—she is not a conservative—but then again, neither is Trump. We do need pragmatic leaders, as well as those with common sense. (as if any former democrat does have such sense) If she can sell the agenda, then fine. Not my first choice, but not mhy last. Rubio....nah....and frankly none really excite me...Vivek—maybe
I could go for Rand Paul as first choice—anti-stupod wars and government stupod spending....
The only one I see helping Trump in November is Tim Scott….. he would effectively block the race card attacks, help a little with black voters and help with suburban white women voters.
I just don’t see another of the others making a difference.
Question: Among the above listed candidates, which would likely add the most democrat, independent, and libertarian support to president trump? And who would hurt the most?

To evaluate which vice-presidential candidate would likely add the most support from Democrats, Independents, and Libertarians to President Trump, and which would hurt him the most, let's consider each candidate's background and appeal:
Potential to Add Support:
Tulsi Gabbard:
Democrats: Gabbard, a former Democrat, has a history of appealing to more moderate and anti-establishment Democrats. Her anti-war stance and criticisms of the
Democratic Party's elite could attract disillusioned Democrats.
Independents: Gabbard's independent-mindedness and willingness to break party lines resonate well with Independents. Her emphasis on civil liberties and government accountability appeals to this group.
Libertarians: Gabbard's anti-war policies and support for civil liberties align with Libertarian values, potentially drawing support from this group.
Ben Carson:
Democrats: Carson might appeal to conservative Democrats due to his background as a prominent African American leader and his calm, rational demeanor.
Independents: Carson's outsider status and success story could attract Independents looking for non-traditional candidates.
Libertarians: While not as strong as Gabbard, Carson's general approach to smaller government and individual responsibility could have some appeal to Libertarians.
Potential to Hurt Support:
Kristi Noem:
Democrats: Noem's strong conservative positions and alignment with Trump’s policies are unlikely to attract Democratic voters.
Independents: While she might appeal to some conservative Independents, her strong alignment with Trump might not resonate with more moderate Independents.
Libertarians: Noem's positions might not strongly align with Libertarian values, particularly on issues like civil liberties and foreign policy.
Vivek Ramaswamy:
Democrats: Ramaswamy's positions on social issues and his support for policies like raising the voting age could alienate Democratic voters.
Independents: His proposals might be seen as too radical or untested, which could be off-putting to Independents.
Libertarians: While his business background might appeal to some, his support for certain policies, like raising the voting age, might not align with Libertarian principles of individual freedoms.
Summary:
Most Likely to Add Support: Tulsi Gabbard would likely add the most support from Democrats, Independents, and Libertarians due to her broad appeal across different voter groups and her willingness to challenge both major parties on key issues.
Most Likely to Hurt Support: Kristi Noem would likely hurt Trump's appeal to Democrats and Independents the most due to her strong conservative stance and close alignment with Trump's policies.
Yes
I’d vote for Sarah Sanders without blinking.
You never Trumpers should just shut the hell up. You offered nothing but insults as Trump worked his butt off to get the nomination. Now you think you have credibility as to what Trump does next? The nerve of you freaks!
No conservatives are chosen? Just RINO deep staters?
People are saying it’s already Doug Burgum but he’s an on the list?
Guess I’m in the 2%. I predict Youngkin
Josh Hawley was one of the few Republican Senators who planned to reject Biden's fraudulent electors and stuck to his commitment on January 6th. Others like Rand Paul and Marsha Blackburn had originally planned to reject them, but then fell for the media's lies about what happened before the Senate returned to debate and vote, and they flipped, and accepted Joe's fraudulent electors. I will never forget or forgive.
