Everything President Trump does is controversial according to the media.

She wouldn’t be anywhere near the top of my list of VP candidates.

She doesn’t bring anything to the table that someone else couldn’t bring — without her downside. She’s a House member from a rural district that functions like a miniature welfare state. And I’d be hard pressed to ever trust a Harvard-educated career politician from New York under any circumstances. Stefanik’s resume reads like a Deep State political hack.

>>>Give Elise Stefanik a crack at Speaker for a litmus test, then get back to me . . .

“Stefanik is at the top,” said Steve Bannon

I posted a link to a podcast the other day of Roger Stone and Jack Posobic saying Tulsi Gabbard was someone who they thought he could pick.

So the way things look, don't expect a conservative. Trump has said he seriously wants to try to win NY/NJ and no way he does that with a Kari Lake etc.

This gives me the same feeling that I had when Ronald Reagan chose George Bush to be his VP...

She’s smart and loyal.

Two desired qualities.

There are more important qualifications for a VP than loyalty to Trump. Whoever Trump’s VP is will have a better than average chance of becoming POTUS during his second term, due to his age. I don’t know anything about Stefanik - a look at her Wikipedia entry lists “working in the George W. Bush administration, prepping Rep. Paul Ryan for his vice presidential debates”. Not exactly a confidence inspirer, and not something that makes me want her as president.

George Bush had creds from his WW2 experience, and we were in the cold war. Today's enemy is DEI and CRT - Elise is laser focused on those ... I trust her

Actually, it’s all speculation, but there is no way he is picking Haley.

>>>To be honest, I can’t figure out who should be Trump’s Veep.

I just pray he doesn’t end up with another Judas Pence.

As far as I know Stefanik has ALWAYS defended Trump and his supported his judges, and has NEVER been reported as saying crap behind his back.

In my opinion, she both EARNED the VP and will not backstab Trump.

Ditto - and will help him with the ‘Soccer Mom’ vote. That’s the demographic he lost most in the last election ...

You're more than likely to be ACCURATE with that assessment.

Elise ‘could be’ the bridge to the future, in the eyes of young voters... those that normally wouldn’t vote Trump, but would be willing to vote Trump if Elise were the future
