Speculation is heating up about former President Trump’s choice of running mate.
But the bigger question is, does it matter?
The former president is so uncommonly polarizing that there will be few voters who can be shifted one way or another by a vice presidential candidate. Trump being Trump, his eclipse of whoever is on the lower half of the ticket is likely to be total.

The others will be focused on their future as a potential President and if anything will deflect from President Trump. Being used by the Media as a comparison to exploit any differences the two may have.
And for those calling for a female choice, I would like to see the polling data that suggests it will make a difference. More likely the Media will use it as an opportunity.
I like Ben Carson.
So do I.
He’s a good and decent man.
Pence is a feckless Judas.
NO comparison.
Speculation is heating up, they are salivating waiting for the announcement so they can go to work on this person by destroying them and their family
Trump won’t pick another Deep Stater.
That’s what matters.
Especially to Deep State.
His choice of V.P. does matter. We saw that with Pence who had no loyalty, and that is what Pres. Trump needs. Ben Carson would make a good one, so would some others, I have great respect for Gov. Greg Abbot, the man has some stones for sure. But I don’t think he’s interested, more for continuing to lead Texans, I think.
“they are salivating waiting for the announcement so they can go to work on this person by destroying them and their family...”
Dems have already plotted against VP choices.
Destruction will appear right after the announcement and again, as an “October Surprise “...
The deep state needs to know his VP choice right away so they can begin lawfare proceedings and muckraking actions ASAP!
Trump is not as polarizing as the liberal. The liberal cannot be placated unless he is getting his socialism and he won’t settle for anything less.
Yes the VP matters. I hear people (even here) say they like Gabbard for example, JFK and a few others. I have never voted for a dem in almost 50 years and not going to start now as the GOPe is filthy and despicable enough.
Also this time it is different for of us too as it will be only be one term also for Trump as the VP often runs for the presidency.
Her interview with Tucker Carlson sealed the deal for me.
Yes, it matters. He’s old. He’ll be 80 in 2 yrs.
Does it matter?
Kamala
‘nuff said.
If it’s someone who can guarantee one of the big swing states (MI...PA) for DJT then it’s important. I must say that I like Ben Carson...but I’ve seen it written that he doesn’t want the job.
“The deep state needs to know his VP choice right away so they can begin lawfare proceedings and muckraking actions ASAP!”
You make a good point.
I’m waiting for the Chicago response when the DNC convention kicks off.
Another thing I was thinking about was during the last DNC convention the press glossed over all the security measures that were in place the fencing, screenings all that stuff, and really didn’t comment too much on why it looked like a outpost rather than an open convention.
The GOP convention on the other hand was very normal looking on the outside of the convention center.
I can only imagine what the Chicago DNC Convention Center security posture is going to look like. Barbed wire sandbagged bunkers...? I imagine it will be strengthened or hardened because... Chicago residents are pissed. “Stay Tuned”
Yes it matters. In fact its critical. Its not so much because his choice of VP will sway large numbers of voters. Its critical because if he picks somebody (Noem, Scott, etc) the Deep State is comfortable with, he will almost certainly be dead within a year. Conversely, if he picks somebody they are as or even more afraid of like JD Vance, Kari Lake, etc he’ll be just fine.
Think that’s “conspiratorial”? These people have already proven time and time again that they will stop at nothing to preserve their own power.
I don’t think anything will be ‘normal looking’ this year. I fully expect lots of nefarious plots to hatch, with the full blessings of the MSM.
Veep is SO important. Bush I killed the Reagan Revolution and got us Klinton.
I agree. Tulsi is my choice. She will inoculate Trump from the abortion cudgel more than anyone else. That is the path to victory.
2 democrats turned Republican. That says somthin
Reagan was a democrat too.
