Trump says he WON'T pick his VP from the list of Republican candidates running against him - and says they all want to be 'secretary of something'

Donald Trump mocked his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination on Wednesday, saying none of them were worthy of being his running mate.

Most of his remarks focused on President Joe Biden but he did refer to the 'the job candidates' who were preparing to take the debate stage halfway across the country in California.

'You know we're competing with the job candidates - they're all running for a job,' he said. 'They want to be anything, Secretary of something, even say VP. I don't know. Does anybody see any VP in the group? I don't think so.'

But will President Trump also promise not to put any of the into hos cabinet, either?

All would be back stabbers.

For all his flaws, it must be said that over the last 20 years Chris Christie has been one of the most colorful political figures in the U.S. not named Donald Trump.

Bannon doesn’t belong anywhere near Trump. He’s already betrayed him multiple times.

Probably too honest of an evaluation. Trump continues to be unpolished in his responses to just about everything. This lack of polish is probably both his biggest strength and his biggest weakness. Bottom line, with Trump it’s all about Trump. He might yet win this cycle but I won’t miss him when he finally goes away.

Not a question of conservative vs. liberal or right vs. left. It’s We the People vs. The elite. DeSantis is elite.

Alberta, isn’t the proof that Reagan wasn’t a real conservative that, unlike Trump, Reagan was re-elected in a landslide?

I mean, what does defeating the Soviet Union, ending inflation, setting the U.S. on a path to a balanced budget, and restoring hope in the future have to do with real conservatism?

The proof that DeSantis is elite is that he was in the military. Real people avoid the military like Donald 4F Trump and his two adult sons. Sanctimonius people join the military to cover over their phoniness with fake medals. And don’t even bring up that loser, John McCain, and his “tortured POW” story. We prefer winners to losers, except we accept excuses for Donald Trump who managed as President to lose the House, the Senate and the White House.

Vic could be secretary of something so we could see his true ability and values. But I think Christie, Pence will not get back in the government. Haley could be ambassador to India. I would not let her anywhere near our military. Pence could be ambassador to Ireland. Christie could be ambassador to Hell. I would like Kennedy to be in the cabinet. He should be in charge of DHHS. DeSantis could be in there somewhere. And Peter Navarro needs to be in the Trump White House. As well as General Flynn.

The only problem there is that most of the items you listed weren't relevant in 1984.

1. The Soviet Union wasn't "defeated" in any sense until after Reagan was out of office.
2. The U.S. had nothing close to a balanced budget in 1984. In fact, the U.S. budget deficit grew at a staggering rate during Reagan's first term in office -- from $79 billion (2.5% of GDP) in 1981 to $185 billion (4.6% of GDP) in 1984. It peaked in 1983 at 5.7% of GDP ($208 billion) -- a level that wasn't seen again until 2009.

Reagan was re-elected in a landslide because most Americans were simply better off in 1984 than they had been in 1980.

The U.S. wasn't even the same country by 2020 that it had been in 1980. Joe Biden is a perfect representation of what this country has become -- old, decrepit, corrupt and failing.

The proof that DeSantis is "elite" is that he's an Ivy League lawyer who has never worked outside government in his life.

The Meatball is not a #1 on a National Level either.
I would not pick any of the Midgets for ANY job in another Trump Administration.

DeSantis turned Trump supporters into DeSantis haters. But nice try.

You left out being captain of the Yale Baseball team. Could you imagine it, being elected captain by elitists! He must be the worst.

Wasn’t George H.W. Bush on the Yale Baseball team, and didn’t Gerald Ford coach at Yale while going to law school there?

And, for sure, we won’t mention that Trump went to an Ivy League school (Penn), as did Ivanka, Donnie Jr. and Tiffany (also Penn), while Eric went to Georgetown (guess he either couldn’t cut it grade-wise, or maybe he couldn’t stand being among all the elitists at Penn); and, we won’t mention that Baron is going to the exclusive St. Andrews Episcopal prep school.

In America, it’s bad for people who are children of the lower classes to aspire to rise up to the upper classes in terms of wealth, occupation, or other dimensions of success. Whereas, in Europe, it’s a good thing. If God had meant for you to be royalty, he would have arranged for you to be born into that status.

To quote an old adage: “New money is so pushy.”
