I wondered about who Trump would pick as a running mate.
Who can he pick, who would be able to move forward with the Trump agenda, and be an heir apparent for 2028 and Beyond?
Who would be a strong conservative and not be a RINO type?
Who can he pick who is not GOP-E?
Some have speculated he could think outside the box and not pick a career politician. After all Trump himself was not a career politician. Maybe he would think outside the box and find someone who is not coming from the world of Republican politics.
My bet is he’s going to pick Kristi Noem. She’s got the gravitas to step in and govern if Trump was somehow incapacitated.
Since Trump is not a Republican in any meaningful sense (thank God), he shouldn’t be limited in his choices in the unlikely event he is allowed to claim the RNC’s nomination.

The future is now. I would hope that Trump picks as VP the person who will most help him get elected in 2024. It is interesting to think of an heir apparent, and 2028. But if the Democrats cheat their way to a 2024 win, nothing past that year will matter.
I’m wondering if it won’t be Stefanik. Noem may also be acceptable. If he REALLY wants to throw a wrench into things, RFK, Jr.
“Who can he pick who is not GOP-E?”
JD Vance or Rand Paul.
I prefer Paul.
