Donald Trump's Potential VP Shortlist (POLTICO)
POLITICO ^ | Dec 20 | POLITCO

Posted on 12/20/2021 5:18:58 PM PST by RandFan

Names from the article:

IN:

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC)

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.)

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds

Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez

Ric Grenell

Mike Pompeo

Mark Meadows

OUT:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis

Nikki Haley

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem

Michael Caputo, a former Trump campaign staffer who worked in his administration, said it’s hard to forecast whom Trump might pick because there’s so much time to go. Whomever is chosen “will have to be loyal, and they’ll have to denounce what happened in 2020. If they don’t, they’re disqualified.”

Not a very impressive list in truth although I have low expectations...

Rand doesn't even make anyone's list.

Grinell would be my pick if DeSantis is out.

I like him or Meadows from the list if I had pick one

It’ll be interesting to see who he picks because if serious that they have to denounce 2020 election fraud then it counts most elected GOP officials out of the running!

Doesn’t leave many options..

Sorry I should say elected office holders i.e senators or whatever.

Also looks like he may want to pick a female looking at the names

Got it all wrong. DeSantis, by default for president. DJT VP with one, all encompassing, overriding job. Grab China by the economic throat and bitch slap the truth out of them. And that’s most of your campaign.

They say he is a prolific fundraiser in the article which has impressed those close to Trump.

Although it would be great to have Mark as VP, Chirpef of Staff is even more important and Meadows has already proven his loyalty. In 2028 it should be DeSantis/Meadows.

I’m thinking he has to be high on the list if you consider the criteria.

Trump as VP isn’t happening.

If DeSantis wants the top spot, he’ll have to enter & win the 2024 Republican Primary.

Good luck Ron, you’ll need it.

I thought he’d quit politics and is doing something else.

That is the last I heard

Apparently many freepers are cool with the whole Kushner thing.
