Trump needs to balance the ticket, and attract the soccer moms

Pandering to left-leaning suburban women will not get Trump a single vote - they will not be persuaded to vote for Trump if his running mate is some Republican woman they despise. And if Trump wins, we will be faced with the grim prospect of some RINO a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.

Very good point. Yes, I should add “likable” to the qualifications needed for a Trump female VP. So now it’s strong, clever, and likable.

And that’s what breaks my heart about Sarah Palin, to this very day. She was strong, and she was likable. But she was not clever. She let the media and the GOP elite push her around. Ah, what might have been.

Here she is as governor, with the Alaska National Guard.

Likability is important. I neglected that, and fidelis gently corrected me. Please see post #18.

No. He sees the world ONLY through race-colored glasses.
And then, there’s this remark;

During a debate, Tim suggested that welfare assistance was harder than slavery for Black Americans.(!!)

There is NO ONE who is a possible VP nominee of the female sex who the media will let be likeable, regardless of how likeable she is or could be. Whoever is nominated will immediately be portrayed as The Ultimate Extreme MAGA B*tch, and she will be unknown enough in the general population that the label will stick. So just pick whom you would be OK with if Trump ever got whacked or died of natural causes.

From everything I’ve heard about Tim Scott, I’d be thrilled if Trump picked him as a running mate.

Donald Trump is not going to pick a running mate from a state he is going to win by 40%.

He is not a smart man, at all, and he has been against Trump, and does so, while stupidly smiling.

The VP nominee will not be Swamp Filth.

Likely someone with no political career. Possibly an Independent, which would get votes.

The Vivek guy has not political career baggage.

“No” for anyone who endorsed Murkowski.

It’s an overwhelming NO in this thread.

Why do I feel Freepers are going to be disappointed whoever Trump picks?

The litmus test is so high.... Not many make the grade for me

Exactly.

Trump needs to ditch any idea of putting a woman in the VP position.

Female leadership works better for Podunk countries, not a Great Power Nation like the United States.

Right now is not the time to play around with a female for VP. The world is falling apart. We need someone with a strong backbone who will Help President Trump, not betray him.

Palin had the nerve to be authentic and attractive. Everyone knows she would’ve been good, otherwise they (RATs & GOPe) wouldn’t have done everything possible to annihilate her. Even her own running mate was in on it.

I’d love to see her on this ticket, but too much damage has been done.

Right. And besides being terrible, he doesn’t seem to have a stellar IQ. There seems to be a mouth breather quality about him. We don’t need another dolt a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.

I still think it will be either Noem or Stefanik with Gabbard having an outside chance.

I’d be okay with the first two, but I’m a firm “no” on Gabbard!
