Donald Trump will not pick a hardline pro-life candidate as his running mate over concerns that it would be electorally unwise, according to latest reports.

Elise is a bit untested and young. I’d definitely consider her for a prime cabinet position where she could have the freedom to make a difference. Same for someone like Palin.

We need more women to come forward as leaders, to attract other women to conservatism. Unfortunately, not many of the women politicians are actually conservative, especially on social issues. Those that appear to be actual conservatives, like Palin and Boebert and MTG, eventually seem to get exposed as having some baggage. Joni Earnst had potential but now seems phony. Just not a pretty picture, overall.
Good.

I assumed that. :)
My suggestion for an unconventional VP choice would be Sage Steele.
