The answer is NO!

One word. Barf.
He is a nice good man. NO TO NICE!
No. It needs to be somebody the Deep State fears. JD Vance and Kari Lake would fit the bill nicely. Hell, I’d love it if Trump chose Matt Gaetz.
Deep Stater Extraordinaire!
The ONLY PROVEN MAN! out there (uh!, steel spine!) to take over in one second if Trump drops dead is Ron De Santis.
They should bury the ax, make some eyeball to eyeball UNDERSTANDINGS on the core issues and move forward.
De Santis can then run and win another 8 years if Trump makes it all the way to the end which I pray he does.
That’s a total of 12 years. They could flip the SC upside down in that many years and mark the end of the marxist democrats power in America.
I make it a point not to take advice from anyone who doesn’t know the difference between ‘here’ and ‘hear.’
Republicans are having a difficult time with the post-Roe abortion issue at the national level.
It should probably be a conservative woman who has been consistently pro-life.
excerpt: for information & discussion purposes:
7. Consider Governor Youngkin’s experience before becoming a governor — private sector. Biden/Harris are career politicians (grifters) while a Trump/Youngkin ticket represents the dynamic private sector that makes our country great. Youngkin’s experience in finance, energy, real estate, and infrastructure from a private sector perspective can only be an asset to President Trump’s private sector experience

voters are tired of the professional lawyer/pols who have never had a real job.
+ youngkin’s background was in private business
+ iirc, youngkin is term limited as VA guv & would be available.
+ imo, younkin is the right age to have broad appeal to voters worried about 2 old men
+ he is the type of VP that could succeed trump & give the country 12 years to MAGA
Youngkin is not well-liked among religious conservatives in VA because of a bill he signed that represented a retreat on religious freedom
This Country is on the edge of the abyss!!
Whoever Trump picks is good with me, because LOSING IS NOT AN OPTION!
I like Greg Abbott and some others that stand up to the feds on the border issue. I also want someone who is pro fracking, drilling, and continuing the pipelines. Kristi Noem would be a good pick for that. I like Jim Gordan too, feisty, seems to tell it like it is. There are a couple others. I almost feel sorry for the dems. The best they have is a delusional, crooked, lying, clueless, scumbag with no morals. I hope to live long enough to see him and his whole damn family rot in prison.
I used to be an advocate of geographical ticket balancing and getting swing states into play . . . in 1976 when I was 13 years old.
Clinton picking fellow (fake) southerner Al Gore shows that strategy is obsolete. Big mouths who get press (AOC, Schiff) get appeal and disdain nationwide. This generation of Americans moved a lot more than our grandparents’ generation. I live in Phoenix, AZ, and my guess is that 60% are transplants from other regions of the country. So, if Wade Boggs were the Republican VP candidate, he would get 10% more of the Massachusetts vote, and 3-4% more of the Arizona vote from migrant Red Sox fans.
Today’s campaigns are about telling a story. Trump’s story has to be MAGA, and those of us who are MAGA need it to outlive Trump himself. I support J.D. Vance as being a non-compartmentalizeable MAGA type who can appeal to disaffected JFK/Hubert Humphrey/Scoop Jackson Democrats. He can appeal to Democrats who don’t hate America. We might lose some suburban mothers who primarily want to be reaffirmed in their prejudices, and those wallet-driven Republicans who don’t care what happens to Western Civilization as long as they get theirs (good riddance).
Vance can build a philosophical skeleton under Trump’s fleshy MAGA instincts. Ohio used to be a swing state. It is still a bellwether state, and Vance is well-known in nearby Michigan, in a good way, by the right people.
I don’t think anyone should be considered without knowing how they reacted on January 7th, 2021. In the immediate aftermath were they supportive of Trump or jumping on the Deep state bandwagon. So. What do we have with this Governor?
Yongkin is too mild mannered. Not a fighter. We don't want to bring a wuss to a knife fight.
Noem, she is a ranchers daughter who is also a Pentecostal.
Also, President Trump can tutor her. And she has been loyal to him.
Don’t know about VP..but Trumps cabinet should be anyone who solidly stood by him..and stood up for him. There must be at least a dozen such individuals?
Anyone else can’t be trusted not to sabotage him...or us for that matter.
