Who Will Be Trump’s VP Pick?

[Ark]

Please, just not Marco.

Or Haley. Or Tulsi.

All the establishment Republicans are basically trash but please, lord, don't let him pick one of the fake conservative grifter women.

Please, just not Marco.

It would be crazy to pick a VP running mate from Florida. Constitution prevents Electoral College Electors from voting for a POTUS and VP from the same state as they're from. At least one of the two must be from a different state. They would lose all the Florida electors for POTUS or VP. That is why the POTUS and VP are from different states. Trump moved his residence to Florida. The state has a large number of electors.

Article II, Section 1, 3rd Clause (1st sentence; emphasis mine):

"The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves." . . .​

What’s wrong with Tulsi ?

Glen Youngkin! DJT gets Old Dominion and it is over.

You would be stunned to know where Dick Cheney and George W. Bush both lived in 1999....

This would be my first choice. Youngkin would be a phenomenal contrast to Harris.

On Twitter / X just now:

The Ohio Governor put the detail in front of Vances house as a precaution because of the events over the weekend according to the Governors office.

Gov Youngkin has done a great job. Of course you could go out to Crown Hill and dig up somebody more impressive than Harris.

I was hoping for Burgum. He's not the one.

 

[bwframe]

I hate to see them pick critical congress critters. Fear the replacements could sink us?

Merged two Trump VP threads.

I love that they're dropping all these breaking news alerts for people who aren't going to be picked.

Say what you want about Trump, the man knows how to put on a compelling reality TV show.

When he's good, he's good.

Patrick Bet David just said he was told RFK Jr. has been spotted in Wisconsin. Everyone is just speculating at this point.

I have to hand it to Trump for keeping a lid on this one.

From 2 days ago.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to campaign in Wisconsin during Republican convention

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continues his run to be the third party nominee in this year's presidential campaign, though his history and latest controversy may damage his chances of gaining those votes.

There's a high concentration of media there covering the RNC. Junior is hoping to get some of the overflow camera time.
