There's not a lot of positive news from that market analysis.
- Rubio is a non-starter. He's from Florida too, and we need the Senate seat (even if Rubio's seat is safe, why force another unnecessary special election).
- Haley won't be in the inner circle. There may be a place for her in Trump's government, but it won't be in a trusted position. She's too liked by the Deep State to let her be too close to the action.
- Ramaswamy has a place in the administration, but not VP. NBC issues; too many other qualified people with two citizen parents to risk going there. Give him something like Commerce.
- Carson is well-liked but too passive a personality. Not VP material. I'd trust him with my baby's brain surgery, but not against Schumer and Pelosi. You don't bring a scalpel to a knife fight. Put him back in HHS or Surgeon General.
- Scott. See Carson. He's better suited to the Senate.
- Vance, Stefanik, Huckabee -- not ripe yet.
My opinion? I've suggested Abbott in Texas for immigration and states rights, or Glenn Youngkin in Virginia for education and parents rights. If Trump must choose a woman, then perhaps Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee (risking the Senate seat); she's a vocal fighter, too.
