Meatball, like Cruz or Jeb will never be President.

He’s said repeatedly that he wasn’t interested in being Vice President. He believes he can be more effective as Governor.

Who knows what the political landscape will be in 2028?

History tells us that many nominees do not get the nomination the very first time they run in presidential primaries.

If Trump wins this year, his running mate will be a strong contender in 2028, but being Trump’s VP doesn’t mean he or she will be the odds on favorite.

o you disagree with him about identity politics? As a conservative, I don’t want Trump to play identity politics either. That’s what Democrats do.

If he believes that Tim Scott or Vivek Ramaswamy or Kristi Noem is the best person to help him win and to take over should somethign happen to him, that’s who he should pick. But picking one of those people becuase he or she is black or Indian or female is exactly the kind of racism that got us Kamala Harris and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

I agree with Ron on this.

DeSantis has/had zero chance constitutionally of being the VP on Trump's ticket presuming Trump gets the nomination this summer. They are both Florida residents.

This whole line of questions is unnecessary and distracting. Maybe Trump is feeling desparate like Cruz in 2015. Will he rush out a lame pick comparable to Fiorina? And as Trump has bad history of picking bad people or turning good people against him, I guess this is very possible.

Laura presented these names to Trump at a townhall and all he said was that they’d all be good choices because he’s learned politics and he’s learned to be diplomatic. Only a self-centered person would feel the need to keep sniping to Trump about it.

It’s still early in the campaign.

If Trump called him up, I’m guessing he’d sign up in a heartbeat.

Who are you accusing of sniping at Trump?

An interviewer asked Trump if he would pick a VP from a list of names including DeSantis that the interviewer provided. I think all Trump said was that was a good list.

Speculation on who the VP pick will be is a waste of time, there's six months to go before the Convention.

The choice for the Vice President is kind of like the last cookie on the plate - somebody will eventually take it, but nobody wants to look eager to reach for it.

If Trump says he wants YOU, who is to say to him, No?

Trump already knows who he is going to pick. He's just waiting for the right time to tell the rest of us.

“he’s not ruling out 2028 run”

He’s pretty much toast now. If only he had waited until 2028.

True, but Trump did mention his name among several others on his "short list" of people he was considering as his vice-president running mate.

No. Laura Ingraham did that.
