Trump simply can’t pick any of the Florida guys. It’d simply make no sense for him to declare himself a New Yorker again, considering everything that went down between himself and the NY courts. And it’s very strong possibility of another close election in which a GOP electoral college majority can’t be obtained without Florida. We can’t risk a majority-Dem senate instilling one of their own as Trump’s VP
Well the Constitution never stopped the Libs, look at the Second Admendment
RFK Jr.’s father moved and so did Hillary Clinton. Both were to get political advantage for other offices.
The father RFK:
“After his brother’s assassination, he remained in office during the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson for several months. He left to run for the U.S. Senate from New York in 1964 and defeated Republican incumbent Kenneth Keating, overcoming criticism that he was a “carpetbagger” from Massachusetts.”
Hillary Clinton:
“Clinton and her husband, President Bill Clinton, purchased a house in Chappaqua, New York, in September 1999; she thereby became eligible for the election, although she faced accusations of carpetbagging since she had never resided in the state before.”
Stories of DeSantis or Rubio moving out of Florida (maybe like Jed Clampett with the truck holding everything, setting up a trailer with a mailbox and maybe a hound dog in another state far from Florida), have been around for a while.
Dems would like Trump to be living in a “big house” by then.
Guys, do we really WANT Rubio? I seem to recall him being a snake in the grass.
So, if that’s true, and we see the dems willing to allow him to run, or make some concession to allow it, we’ll know the fix is in.
How about Mike Pence? No, I’m joking folks. 😆 Lighten up. I wouldn’t trust Prnce to clean toilets. 🤮
This could all be solved fairly quickly. Do any political parties care about voting for the VP separately? I doubt it. It just takes an amendment to get rid of this outdated practice that should’ve be done long ago. Which state wouldn’t be fine with having both president and VP as residents?
Matt “PitBull” Whitaker from Iowa is Trump2.0. He introduced PDJT at a Trump rally I attended in Dec2023 and really fired up the crowd.
He played football for IA and at one point was Acting Attorney General after Jeff Sessions left. Although he would make an excellant VP, I would love to see him the US AG.
This is the simplest thing in the world to solve: If Trump, currently a Florida resident, decides to choose someone else who is a Florida resident to be his Veep, then one of the two of them need to move from Floria. At a minimum, they can’t both be residents on the day on which the Electoral College votes; however, the much safer course of action would be for that person to establish residency in another state prior to the nominating convention, and to maintain that status until the inauguration.
As mentioned in the article, Cheney re-established his Wyoming residency a couple of days before the 2000 convention. Trump has a home in NYC (though one could certainly understand why he wouldn’t want to further expose himself there) and has a luxury golf resort in Bedminster, NJ where he could also establish residency. However, both of those are hostile jurisdictions, so he’d be better off buying or leasing a place in Texas, which has no income tax and is almost certainly not going to start up any lawsuits or prosecutions against him (nor try to take away his guns or right to carry).
Alternatively, of course, the Veep candidate could also establish residency elsewhere quite easily - but both Rubio and DeSantis may have political/legal reasons to remain FL residents until they official quit their present job on 1/20/25. They also have less financial resources with which to do this than Trump.
Just say NO to RINO’s from Fla,SC, or NY.
I’m currently liking JD Vance but that skank DeWine would pick a RINO to fill the seat....................
Carson,Noem.Huckleby-Sanders may be decent alternatives.
.
Hope Trump will pick Graham to the UN just to get his sorry RINO butt out of SC!
There’s nobody from Florida he needs on the ticket anyway. We need another outsider, not a congress critter.
