Ron DeSantis is NOT Mike Pence and is nothing like him.

Trump needs to stay alive — by picking a VP who is as feared by the left as he is.

In light of your suggestion and the proposed list, that would mean DeSantis is the choice

He pointed to Tim Scott and said he would make a great VP during the interview. I don’t agree with that. He does seem to like weak running mates.

Most Prez candidates don’t want their vp candidate to outshine them. Pence was the ultimate expression in that desired colorlessness.!

He said a while ago that he knows who the pick will be.

It will be Kristi Noem.

1. A very smart WOMAN
2. Some would say attractive
3. A current popular governor
4. Clean and articulate
5. Loyal Trump supporter from Jump Street
6. Wants/would accept the job
7. Relatively young (52)
8. Eligible, natural born citizen, born in South Dakota USA,
to TWO citizen parents both born in South Dakota USA
9. Pro life
10. “In South Dakota, only girls can play in girls’ sports”
11. “Supports Amendment to prevent same sex marriage”
12. “Teach true, honest history not radical Critical Race Theory.”
13. “Chinese Communist Party is our greatest external challenge”
14. “We’re able to market our state as a 2nd Amendment haven.”
15. “No unconstitutional COVID lockdowns; no mask mandates.”
16. “First governor to send National Guard to southern border”

Just to list a few attributes.

Not a horrible choice, better than Gabbard.

Like it or not, but the only ones on that list that might move the needle in picking up additional voters is Vivek or Gabbard.

What State will Trump make his home? Or would DeSantis resign as Governor and move out if Florida?

Of course not. There’s always a solution. Chaney and Bush avoided the problem with them both being Texas residents.

In my opinion, Byron Donalds is far and away the best choice for Trump. He would be the strongest president should something happen to Trump. He is highly intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable and is strong. He would take no BS and proceed with the same vigor as Trump.

First, Ron DeSantis is out simply because the VP and president cannot reside in the same state. I don’t see either one moving.

Also, politically, you need to select a VP running mate that will help you with getting a sector of votes that you might otherwise not get. Like Tim Scott would tend to draw black voters but Kristi Noem and Tulsi /Gabbard would tend to draw women voters. Politically, Ron does nothing for the ticket. Vivek might draw POC, but I don’t see it.
