I'd be OK with DeSantis (though it would take him away from being a proven conservative governor for an important state) or Ramaswamy. I would not be OK with Gabbard. I don't know enough about the others.

including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis


This is Trump’s way of testing DeSantis. Look at the response.

The headline and article are B.S.

This is not "Trump's shortlist" for VP. It's a bunch of names given to him in an interview yesterday, and he said he'd consider them.

I concur with you. OTOH a MAGA VP candidate does not bring additional votes. It is all about winning elections. Losers of elections lose all power to change anything. So I will accept whoever Trump team decides will bring more votes from independents and even democrats. Only exception is I am dead set against Neocons of all stripes, since they are responsible for adding to the yuge fugly national debt, and loss of blood.

Trump knows what happens during campaigns. Everyone bites.

Now our favorite flag snatcher...icky Nikki...she's a different case...because she's being funded by Democrats.

But it will also be the likely successor candidate post-trump. I don’t want to go backwards after his term is up.

Well, he confirmed that they are all on his shortlist. There may be other names that we don't know about, but Trump had no reason to state that he has shortlisted these people if he hasn't.

Thanks...I’ll have to delve deeper...because I don’t think he’s gonna let us know anytime soon...so as not to influence our decision.

Exactly. Trump will be 78 on Inauguration Day. His VP choice matters a lot. I'm not interested in seeing another George HW Bush inherit the Oval Office.

His “shortlist” probably has hundreds of names on it.

It would be a fun to watch debate between heels up and Gabbard.

Ron DeSantis is not going to be the choice. Neither is Mrs. Obama. When stories open with this gambit the article is trash. Ignorance abounds.

Can anyone here recognize this a head fake? Please ask yourself why Trump would lock himself in and anger and disappoint others.

More gas lighting by Trump. None of those people are going to be VP. 🙄

There’s a dark horse that no one mentions.
Someone who Trump trusts, implicitly.
Who only has the People of the USA in mind.
A Wayyyy behind-the-scenes guy but a credible choice.
Credible...for Trump.
