Who knows what Trump is really thinking, but I’ve thought Rubio was the strongest pick — assuming they can find a way around the Florida thing — because he might help solidify the change happening among Latino voters and is an energetic and likable campaigner. But in terms of the electoral map, Trump is looking so strong in Arizona and Nevada, it may be that he should be looking for potential help elsewhere, especially with Biden so dependent on the Blue Wall states and holding up in them better given his strength among older white voters.
So, yes, it may be that Trump needs an old white guy on the ticket!
The pro-J. D. Vance forces are going to argue that Vance has Rust Belt appeal, so he could help in the Blue Walls. Tim Scott might be able to help by taking some of the edge off the Democratic advantage in the cities in the Blue Wall states.
An entirely different model would be picking Glenn Youngkin to make a play for Virginia. If all else stays the same, Trump doesn’t need any of the Blue Walls if he wins Georgia, Arizona, and Virginia. But this would be a risky bet compared to winning back states that he won in 2016 and only narrowly lost in 2020.
I think it’s Youngkin. Virginia is in play. Youngkin could swing it. It would make a HUGE difference
From WHAT to WHAT?
Burgum looks like George Washington with a modern haircut.
My Trump 2024 VP pics are:
1. Michael Flynn
2. Mrs. Alito
3. JD Vance
You didn’t notice that they attack black conservatives all the time?
… this would be a risky bet compared to winning back states that he won in 2016 and only narrowly lost in 2020 …Yawn. More fraud denial out of Lowry.
If Rich Lowery is all for Rubio then Rubio is a HUGE NO!! Rubio is a FULL BLOWN RINO and would stab Trump in the back any chance he got!! Rubio is an open borders POS!! There are ONLY 3 people Trump can trust (other than his sons) Byron Donald’s, Ben Carson, JD Vance!! There is another fighting PIT BULL out there I would not have a problem with and that is Andrew Gulliani Rudy’s son!! This pick is vital to the survival of this nation it HAS TO BE someone who can pick up the torch from Trump and not miss a beat, this nation NEEDS 12 years of MAGA to clean out this cesspool!! I would prefer someone NOT IN government HOWEVER the 3 listed above haven’t been in government long enough to have become RINOS yet!!
i see trump moving to NJ if he wants Rubio as Cheney moved to Wyoming when he ran with texan bush,.
A lot of norm talk from norm pundits.
As long asd you use the same formula, you will always get the same results.
Trump knows that it is time to change the equation and the type of people to lead this country.
He is not going to choose a normie candidate. He is going to choose a candidate that deep state hates as much as they hate Trump.
