The need for stability and experience should eliminate the young MAGA-in-a-hurry types like Sen. J.D. Vance or Members of the House.
As the GOP convention nears, and voters focus on the election, the race remains closer than it should be given Mr. Biden’s infirmities. Swing voters still worry about Mr. Trump and the possibility of four more years of turmoil. The former President can help his campaign, and the country, by projecting stability and calm.
We know many readers will think this is impossible, and maybe it is. Yet he showed admirable restraint after the debate last week, letting Democrats implode, until his profane golf-cart outburst.
The opportunity is there to present a reassuring alternative if Mr. Trump wants to take it. And he has a timely opening to send that message with his vice presidential choice in the next week. Now leading in the polls, he doesn’t need an attack-dog VP or someone to rally his core voters. He needs a choice who shows mature judgment and has the ability to appeal to anxious and undecided voters.

Pompeo’s resume reads like a “Deep State” MIC political operative out of central casting. I wouldn’t trust that guy any further than I could throw him.
Thanks for reminding me. Flynn would make a great VP for Trump. He’s smart, tough, and knows where the bodies need to be buried. 😁
If by squishy you mean soft spoken and even k e e l e d, then yes. But he is a rock solid conservative and people need to open their eyes to that fact. He’s also loyal to the base
If Vance is the pick, his replacement will be chosen by the Republican governor and we won’t face that Senate race in Ohio until 2026.
Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy. Make a strategic demographic decision in this instance. Choose a woman or minority. It will diversify the ticket & blunt attacks. Picking the same demographic all the time tends to make us a bit of a bore. Always the same thing. I think it could definitely add women & minorities 😉
i agree. Pompeo - like Ratcliffe - knows where the bodies are buried.
They don’t! There’s a larg e segment that just don’t think much of that. Most members are white males & don’t really consider that the party needs more than white guys to win elections e actions. Too many of them tell themselves that women can’t be trusted & minorities can’t be patriotic. We have got to pull ourselves out of this rut. Gabbard or Ramaswamy would be excellent at pulling in independents, Blue Dog Democrats & suburban women 😉
😍😍😍
It’s a reality, stop pretending otherwise. They pick solely on that. We aren’t suggesting that. We want solid people, but taking other things into account on top of that wouldn’t hurt. It would help.😉
Correct!! The people in the party that are minorities or women are no less conservative than the white males. My husband always describes himself as an extreme right wing conservative & me as an even more extreme right wing conservative 🤣🤣🤣
No. Restringing about making sure we pull in even more votes to overcome fraud 😉
I’m not saying I support him, that’s for Trump to decide, but Ramaswami would absolutely devastate Kamala in a debate.
Trump needs and we need a leader in the wings that will carry us through the next 4 years after trump
LOL!!!
Another squishy RINO like Miss Lindsey Graham.
NO NO NO!!!
No, he needs someone to amplify the fact the media is a hoax, and the Democrat lies. Can’t get that out there enough.
The only thing I didn’t like was the “f” word in reference to the Cackling Co-pilot. It happened near the end of his little ‘outburst’. The other ‘profanities’ he used (like crap) are pretty mild, considering FJB & his Regime are literally destroying the country, are trying hard to start WWIII, are fomenting a racial divide daily, enabling & celebrating baby killing/child mutilation & have put many Americans in a very bad place financially & by mandating the killer shots, have engaged in democide. Actually, looking at the death & destruction FJB has & continues to cause, the “f” word is looking pretty ‘mild’ as well.
FJB, the narcissistic sociopath, was whining to Steponallofus during his ‘interview ‘ that Trump wants to REVERSE all of what FJB has done ..... works for me!
Exactly.
I hope not. Lindsey’s BFF??? NO
Scott is Deep State. No loyalty there.
Its been over since the the JFK ‘win’ in 1960. Everything else since then is just a consolidation of power.
