My understanding is that Elise is a pitbull, so I choose her.
Hopefully ..mostly misdirection.
Hopefully ..mostly misdirection.
I pick JD or Donalds.
Vance or Donalds.
Donalds would be my choice if there was not the problem of his also living in FL. Therefore, I prefer Vance, who may be helpful in the PA campaign.
I’ll repeat myself…
There is a basic reality in terms of the Presidential candidacy.
Over the years, The Presidency went from a job where the nation wanted a guy who had ideas and leadership qualities, to sort of like the slot for lead singer in Van Halen.
You can have a killer frontman like David Lee Roth, who excites and slays live and propels the band creatively, but who is a trainwreck in terms of everything else.
You can get Sammy Hagar, who is ultra competent but not terribly motivating and not your primary pick for frontman.
Then there is Gary Cherone, who is great in Extreme but lost in VH.
Trump is Diamond Dave. Bidet is Cherone. DeSantis is Sammy.
Personally, I would rather we get a Sammy president. DeSantis was Sammy, but he sort of flopped once he moved out of 2,000-seat venues to Madison Square Garden.
Reagan was Sammy, with a touch of DLR like when he joked about bombing the Soviets and “there you go again…”
That was then. In 2024, the nation and populism want Diamond Dave. And Dave is unifying people like nobody-look at the rappers with Trump in The Bronx. It’s stunning.
America isn’t voting for competency anymore. We are voting for the Frontman of America.
Parenthetically, the American People are Eddie, Michael, and Alex-a monster band that is invariant to the guy in the singer slot.
And that’s ok - maybe we NEED a Frontman more than a vocalist right now.
But we need to be honest with ourselves. Trump is a train wreck in terms of personnel choices, and he can get carried away with social media. True, we got solid SCOTUS picks and abortion overturned, a cranking economy, and no wars. But after Eat ‘Em & Smile, Dave jumped the shark.
And Trump will win the Diamond Dave vote, which will be drawn to a guy who just lost a case. Bidet will get the Gary Cherone vote (and again, Cherone is awesome with Extreme).
As for Veep, it’s the same deal…we want a red meat Frontman or Frontwoman. Not a policy wonk, etc.
Stefanik has two Ivy League scalps. RINO? That’s what they said about Trump in 2015. That is why as qualified as the other Veep candidates may be, Elise Lee Roth is what will garner votes. And perhaps Elise is Wolfgang, and can let us get two tours with Eddie and Roth before the band terminates.
Make her VP, Trump wins, and she clobbers whatever jack wagon the Dems put up in 2028, like Kamala or some other Cherone.
Whoever Trump & the Republican Establishment pick for VP, will be soundly denounced by the ‘geniuses’ that frequent Free Republic.
If Trump had listened to the commentary on this board in 2015-2016, he never would’ve became President.
My choice is Gov Abbott; he owns the big issue, the border.
What exactly are you hearing about Burgum that makes him a good candidate? He strikes me as a bland, lukewarm glass of milk; Mike Pence 2.0 without the creepy Ned Flanders/Mike Johnson bible-thumping vibe.
Burgum has from time to time waged war against what few conservatives there are in the RINO-dominated North Dakota state legislature. That’s not a resume-enhancer.
From what I can see, he brings zilch to the VP slot. Either Vance or Donalds would be a fine choice, assuming that Trump isn’t considered a resident of Florida anymore (which would make Donalds ineligible for VP).
Donalds is not a good candidate just because he’s black; he’s good because he is a solid and aggressive conservative. Anyone thinking he should be selected because he will help Trump with the black vote is naive.
Like Rocky used to say to Bullwinkle, “That trick never works.” And it definitely doesn’t.
My guess is trump is faking out the commies with this leak and will pick someone else entirely I want someone who will be trumps pitbull and terrify the commies
Richard Nixon was elected to the Senate in 1950. In 1952 he was the VP nominee.
JD Vance was elected to the Senate in 2022. In 2024 he could be the VP nominee.
Rubio and Scott of SC are non-starters. Rubio was all for the Gang of 8 Amnesty bill in 2012, and Scott endorsed Murkowski in 2022. When push came to shove, they were on the other side.
Anyone else like Elise will get destroyed by the press. They can't do that to Flynn or Vivek.
Methinks it was Gov. Noem “Big League”, until she came out of the closet as a puppy killing narcissist.
he better vet cell mates
If Stefanik helps win NY that’s great but I wonder if she has enough poise not to melt down on the stump at some point and go viral in a bad way. Ben is solid and helps in Detroit.
As a social conservative, it’s starting to get lonely here on the right.
Stefanik?? Really??
Burgum neither.
But, as I say, it’s getting lonely here on the right.
Please don’t let it be Marco Rubio.
I like Burghum and Vance too. Couldn’t go wrong with either.
Dissention over Trumps choice is the very first thing that the DEMOCRATS are going to look for... we MUST STAY UNIFIED!!!!!
CONgratulate WHOEVER it is and move into VOTING TRUMP on November 5,2024!!!!!!!!
