He was my preference for president so I’m good with it.
Horribly poor, missing dad, absentee mother who basically ignored and disliked him when she was not so zoned out on drugs to beat him up. In and out of his wonderful grandma’s house,in same poverty-stricken town where he found love and support. His book, Hillbilly Elegy and Netflix movie read and seen by millions including some people in hospital waiting room where I was reading his book.
Accomplished so much from that horrible background, has wonderful wife he met in law school and adorable little kids.
He appeals, I believe, to both rich and poor people. Wife is from India and their kids are slightly brownish, so a lot of minorities may find that a positive attribute.
That’s a lot of boxes checked.
Although your points are well taken, there are people that would consider voting for Trump if he picked a favorite of there’s as VP. For example, I know a guy that was a avid DeSantis supporter who would likely only get off his az and vote for Trump if he picked him as Veep.
Personally that’s just crazy in my mind but I think one might be surprised at how common people using criteria like that to make of their mind on a given candidate.
No! Warmonger!
I like Carson, but not as VP. Should Trump die in office, God Forbid, Carson does not, IMHO, have the strength to push back against RINO congresscrits, veto outrageous $$$$$ bills to support other countries, close the border and spend the bucks to deport illegals, which Trump said he will do.
Secretary of Health is appropriate place for Carson, who is an M.D.
Who does have the strength and huevos to do all that hard but difficult stuff? We need one tough hombre. I think Vance has the strength and there may be others. .
No he adds nothing to the ticket, only votes Trump will already get.
I agree—Trump’s VP must be a rough and tumble sort. A man who. like Trump, will not back down. Who? That’s the question. Someone who could take over if Trump can not finish the term or carry on MAGA when Trump’s second term ends. No George Bush types. Who? Rand Paul? Maybe a tough woman. Sarah Huckabee? Who do you think?
“The pick of Cotton would be unexpected because it would be bland.” Funny, I’ve never once thought of him as ‘bland.’
At this moment in time, I like J.D. Vance, senator from Ohio.
The really tough guy is Vivek Ramaswamy. There’s some disagreement about his eligibility to be president or VP because his parents were born in India. Vivek born here. He needs and will get a cabinet post. Is there a Secretary of something that handles the border?
Agree. Ramaswamy is one tough hombre. Or whatever the Indian equivalent to hombre is.
imho, if trump is not convicted by the new york jury then the next thing for the democrats to do is grant amnesty to illegals so they can vote in november.
what’s to stop biden from doing so?
My thought as well.
Have repeatedly said that Trump could work best with Burgum.
They seem cut from the same cloth.
I’d be disappointed if Trump doesn’t pick him and just goes for someone who supposedly brings in more votes. Trump himself will bring in all the votes he needs to win. This country needs solid businessmen to get its footing and rise to new heights.
He catches a lot go grief here.
I agree about Carson. Nice guy but he wouldn’t be good life insurance for Trump. At least he wouldn’t undermine him, but he’s not temperamentally equipped to take over.
“Bland”?????
The man is a Warrior.
We need all of those we can get right now
Ramaswamy talks tough. That doesn’t mean he is. I’ll give him credit for being a good public speaker, but so is Ted Cruz. Talk is easy. Unless voters start to look deeper, they’ll continue to be fooled by Con men.
Michael Flynn supports Vivek
I’ll take his advice. And I like Vivek.
I'm against women unless they're Golda Meir or Margaret Thatcher. They don't come around that often.
