OHHHH NO! I’ve been telling you all whoever is advising him is trying to stab the golden goose! There’s only three choices that I can think of …Vivek, McDonalds, and Robinson these three are a force to be reckoned with and this is what Trump needs! It’s going to be extremely disappointing if he chooses youngkin, Rubio (oh God no), and Burgman(sp?). Those three my opinion can be easily convinced to backstab him. Let’s choose somebody away from politics or the DC swamp. Another sorta Trump would be nice for VP. Those three add absolutely nothing to the ticket . If Trump chooses any of these three he better be watching his back because for sure the FBI,CIA and the DOJ will John F. Kennedy him!
Why?
Virginia needs Youngkin. Why drag him away?
If my math is correct, with VA, Trump does not need AZ if he gets Nevada. He will still have 270.

Youngkin would not be on my short list, but there are many worse choices.
There just isn’t anyone that really stands out as a slam dunk pick. Desantis should have been the slam dunk, but he turned on Trump and self immolated himself in the process. Never seen anyone destroy their career in such a quick, idiotic fashion as meatball did.
And he hasn’t lifted a finger to help Trump in 4 years. Solid record...I’ll support him if he’s on the ticket but it would be nice to have someone that is really WITH Trump.

I loved her when she ran with McCain but over the years she seems a bit hippy- dippy, kinda flaky.
Maybe just me.
I’d prefer Rubio. He also puts VA in play, is also not MAGA but has a good ear, acknowledges MAGA and it’s power Nd is willing to give MAGA the respect it has earned. He’s a strong voice on thr immigration criticism because of his willingness in the past to find a dolution and on foreign policy his critiques bite. I’m not sure if he passes the January 7th test but beyond that he would be a solid “unity” pick.
You’ve forgotten about the Suicide Hotline, and what would happen to Hillary if The Donald had an unfortunate incident with a cheese grater...
Carson would bring in the black vote like nobody else.
Youngkin was a lame duck the moment he was elected. Virginia only allows single consecutive terms as governor. He would be leaving his governorship to his Lt. Governor (a solid, conservative Republican) for one year. Someone else was going to have to run in 2025 as it was.
True but AZ is more likely to come back to the fold than NV. The way the Lost Wages hotels empty out the staff every Election Day and the casino cabal corral all the migras and families into voting (at least it's same-day voting, but still), make NV tenuous.
We would be far, far more likely to flip MI (and elect Rogers) if this is 2016 plus a near-total rejection of the Zombie.
Let Biden have the women who don't want to be mothers. Let Trump make a play for the women who love their children more than they dislike Trump.

Foam party pool boy Rubio is not a natural born Citizen. He’s not eligible for Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5.
Gang of 8. How does Foam Boy For Amnesty go on the ticket if Trump is going to be talking about sending the migras to one-way return camps back to Venez? No, TrumpII should snuff Madero just like he did Soleiman, and make Guaidó pay for the return flights.
“Youngkin was a lame duck the moment he was elected. Virginia only allows single consecutive terms as governor.”
Thanks. I did not know that rule in Virginia.
So, it means picking Youngkin would not be removing a succesful GOP office holder eligbile for running for their immediate next term. OK.
Now then, that just leaves if he would make “the best” choice Trump can make.
