Suspiciously.
Devin Nunez is a trusted confidant of Trump had has proven himself to be a real fighter. I think he would be an outstanding choice.
Not sure if he can afford the pay cut.
“Most female candidates emote too much. Not enough logic in decisions.”

The problem is, half of the voters are women. Selecting a woman as VP nominee could mean several % points, esp in the swing states.
Like it or not, that is the reality in today’s political environment.
JD Vance. Or Kid Rock...
And Trump may do something to throw the communists into catatonic shock. He may pick Tusli, or RFK jr, or someone else of that ilk and go for the gigantic middle.
This election is unpredictable. And he has already said he does not think the veep really matters for votes. That it’s just a 3 day story in the news.
I understand your thinking and would consider the same, but I couldn’t in good conscience abstain from voting for Trump when the other option is the current expedited path toward Leftist totalitarianism.
In terms of combining the criteria of:
Helping the ticket in 2024
Loyalty to Trump/MAGA
Energy
Ideology
Executive experience
Future electability
If I had to choose today, I’m leaning toward Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Flame away !!!
Mike Pompeo.
Top graduate of West Point, obviously a veteran, former head of CIA and Secretary of State, extremely bright, very patriotic and LOYAL TO TRUMP.
He’s also young enough to have 8 years after Trump leaves in 2029, and with 12 years they can really remake the Fed.gov (including the federal courts).
I used to think this of DeSantis, but he revealed himself to be both very petty and to have all of the charisma of a rock...so, PASS. HARD PASS on Nikki Haley. Ramiswammy has no executive experience and no foreign policy experience, so let him be in the Cabinet to season him (and to test him). All of the rest...meh!
Mike Pompeo.
I don’t see Trump picking Haley. She is funded by leftists and would probably be a threat to sabotage Trump.
= = =
Wait till her speech about “The Yellow School Bus.”
That will make or break her VP chances.
Not Sure is dog whistle for Biden.
“Instead: CLARENCE THOMAS”
Niiiiiice!
That’s what one would call “out-of-the-box thinking.
Gets a solid conservative Thought Counselor to help him-
Gets to pick a replacement for the Britest Lite on the court.
Thomas gets life long Secret Service protection, if he wants it.
Much better than Florida Man, the two NBCs, or a squish gal like Noem or HuckSand.
A very groovy future ticket could be Gaetz and Stefanik.
Like it of not, that is the unintended consequence of the 19th Amendment.
ME: “My choice is Greg Abbott.”
Mr. YABBUT: “Yeah but: we need him as TX gov.”
ME: “He’s from a hugely important state that Trump doesn’t live in.”
Mr. YABBUT: “Yeah but: he’s not a woman.”
ME: “He checks the handicap box, though; and the border/illegal invasion is finally the #1 issue in America.”
Mr. YABBUT: “Yeah but: how you gonna fill Abbott’s shoes in TX?”
ME: “Run Cornyn for Gov; replace him with Myra Flores in the Senate”.
Mr. YABBUT: “Yeah but: Cornyn has been unreliable.”
ME: “He has proved he can wil statewide office in TX; plus, you can’t always get what you want.”
What about Sanders...
Doesn’t seem to fit her...
Another case for a governor is they will arrive in DC with an entourage of loyalists staff and won’t have to get staff from the deep state...
Like Trump did...
Omarosa to my knowledge is free. Imagine the strength of a black female on the ticket.....
He already picked her. He made her ambassador to the United Nations when he was president.
The office of VP would be a political step down for the majority of people who are in political office/running for political office. The best VP picks should be towards people who aren’t in any major political office, but they should be. These individuals would be people who would be successful in getting Donald Trump, both, more support and more votes than he would get without their help, during the ‘24 November general election. Two of the best names from such a list are: Lee Zeldin from New York and Harmeet Dhillon from California. Both of these people should be somewhere within a Trump administration, anyways. This is a missed opportunity that, probably, won’t happen.
Loyalty and the ability to work both congress and the media are important.
AND MOST VOTERS? Don’t know their A_ _ from a hole in the ground. Let’s be honest!!
Unfortunately, including most folks I know.
If you know about Clarence Thomas, then I don’t think he’d have any interest in that position at all. And he doesn’t really like talking that much.
He’s probably the oldest on the list, but Ben Carson would be my first choice.
