[JD Vance picked] Who will Trump choose as a running mate?

[oyarde]

It is an important pick for him because if he did pick someone " repulsive by all liberty standards " he wont win , its down to a few states and he needs nearly all of them

 

[TheCount]

You know he is a major warmongering neocon, right? So is Nikki Haley.

So is Trump

You give American voters too much credit.

Since when is liberty popular?

Unless liberty means Palestinian genocide, endless war profiteering in Ukraine, national stop-and-frisk, and 'murikan exceptionalism.

JD Vance is currently at the top on PredictIt with 46 cents, more than double the next candidate down, Doug Burghum at 22 cents.

JD is the second best choice to Vivek.. although Vivek would have been miles better, slightly better on policy and liberty, but also since JD Vance is a pretty decent Senator, who would then need to be replaced. You also get the minority box checked off.

I'm in Ohio and can appreciate JD, but I don't think he covers the criteria...

I think the qualities he's looking for go like this:

1. Someone who is loyal to ME and will do what I say
2. Someone who could do the job of President, but nobody wants as President
3. Someone who can ward off the threat of Michelle Obama joining the race

I don't know that there's anyone who fits all 3 criteria. Maybe Byron Donalds??

(I don't know - I'm still hoping for Kid Rock!)

He can cover 1 and 2, but #3 is more like an invitation rather than a defense.

 

[jmdrake]

All of y'all are wrong. He'll probably pick Ivana.

[Anti Globalist]

He's going to pick JFK Jr. as his running mate.

 

[Snowball]

He's going to pick JFK Jr. as his running mate.

it would be hard to beat. automatic 5-10% bump.

 

[Snowball]

probably Youngkin or Scott, I'm thinking.

 

[GlennwaldSnowdenAssanged]

God

 

[acptulsa]

God

From Pence to God?

Nah. Trump much prefers the mundane ones; he hates sharing the spotlight.

 

[LibertyEagle]

So is Trump

Uh huh. That is why he didn’t start any wars.

He is far from ideal, but there are no ideal candidates running to choose. So, I will be voting for who i think is the best of the lot.

 

[TheCount]

Uh huh. That is why he didn’t start any wars.

I mean sure, if you don't count his Syria and Iran strikes plus plus sending troops into Yemen.

That puts him and Obama at the same level of "didn't start any wars"



Depending on how you feel about Ukraine, there's also the matter of him sending 10k troops to Poland in 2020.

Also the drone bases he set up in Chad and Niger.

Sounds kind of... neocon-ish, doesn't it?

 

[acptulsa]

Oh, no more neocon-ish than opening your cabinet door and finding John Bolton.

 

[PAF]

Who will Trump choose as a running mate?

Anybody Anyshill that he damned well wants, and he will still win.

According to plan, since J6 and now the "attempt" the other day it, it has morphed from They Hate Him Across the Finish Line to They Love Him Across the Finish Line.

 

[sparebulb]

It's anybody's guess.

I'm guessing it will be a clean-cut, all not American boy with a passion for neoCONservative values in the Roy Cohn tradition.

Will near death and all this "unity" talk change the decision?

A thought is that chosing a former Democrat like RFK Jr or Tulsi Gabbard would be unbeatable at this point.

I can't see him going with RFK. But I agree that that the current situation makes it look more realistic that he could pick a Democrat.
