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.

I think I’d get behind any of those choices. What about Elise Stefanik? Does the DS fear her? I must say, I can of liked her treatment of Christopher Wray the other day....

Kari Lake won the legitimate vote in '22. However, those women (and not necessarily liberal women only) whom she turns off, she REALLY turns off. She would be VERY quick on the stump though, and can turn the questions quickly and pithily. She likely knows a lot of AZ pols due to her time in news media, but I would like Trump to have someone more knowledgeable about the players for Cabinet picks and Congress-wrangling at the VP level.

I will give her a pass on supporting Obama in '08, because she knew John McCain, and she didn't want to get the U.S. embroiled in a failing large-scale bloody war effort. It took me some to forgive President Trump for his Ted Kennedy contributions. I could never be a high-end real estate developer because I couldn't do that. There is a place for some realpolitik. Trump practices it, despite his veneer of being a loose cannon.

YEP. 👍 J.D. Vance and Kari Lake are both fighters with a positive media prescience.

Youngkin has NO charisma, kind of a milquetoast.
