I wouldn’t pick Rubio.
Maybe DeSantis.

He’s 1000/1 to be VP.

Strongly preferred!

Well, I’ve seen enough of these Trump VP threads on Free Republic , to have learned that there is something wrong with every potential nominee.

Every nominee has pluses and minuses and we will have to live with who Trump chooses.

Rubio is an establishment, beltway insider. He is not going to fundamentally change the District of Corruption. He’s been too McConnelled.

God the MSM/demoshits are desperate to have a say in PDJT’s plans. They know he’s gonna win BIGLY.

DeSantis adds nothing to the to ticket. Any votes he would bring Trump would get anyway. I hate saying but the ticket needs someone for the blasted women vote.

Trump is a populist. We need a conservative for VP and for the future. DeSantis would fill that role pretty well.

No one wants Rubio as VP, except perhaps Mrs. Rubio.

DeSantis needs to stick to FL and prepare for 2028.

Trump needs a VP who can be his attack dog (or female dog, IYKWIM), someone who isn’t necessarily going to move on to the Big Office. Chip Roy, or Harriet Hageman if the candidate needs to be female. Somebody who has already gotten used to being the St. Sebastian of a thousand arrows, and who can make Kamela look like the sluttish idiot she is.

Sarah Sanders or Byron Donalds.

We have to win voters from the middle.

Neither DeSantis nor Rubio (nor Vance) can do that.

Forget looking beyond the November election for anything.

ONLY the election matters.

” I hate saying but the ticket needs someone for the blasted women vote.”

IDK. Probably. But PDJT seems to make it work, whichever way he decides.

ps: Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

President Trump is a resident of Florida. It would be stupid to pick a V.P. from Florida.

If two Florida residents are on the ticket, the electoral votes from Florida may not be counted for both the president and vice president.

From the Constitution, Article II, Section 1:

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves.

The same prohibition is included in the 12th Amendment:

The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves;

I like Ron
but does he get any extra votes for Trump? I just want Trump to pick a VP that helps him get more votes in states that he needs to win.
I have no polling information on this so I can’t really even guess who would be a good pick for him.
