Trumps TV mind will eliminate Rubio as being too short and Burgum, despite having money, for not being photogenic enough.
Vance scores higher on both counts in Trumps empty head and can help him in Ohio,
And Raven123 is right that hes dangerous in that Vance may not have any principles other than wanting to be President.
God help us if these two win.

(13,095 posts)Its my understanding it would only prevent the Electors from Florida from voting for both Trump and Rubio. The Electors from other states could vote for Trump and Rubio with no problem.

(11,203 posts)He would be a disaster as President unable to think for himself. Would get crushed in any debate.
I still cannot believe he is a Senator. He wrote a very mediocre anecdotal best seller. He wasn't even an empty headed athlete/coach/celebrity with name recognition.
My bet if a politician is Stefanik. If a celebrity perhaps Jeanine Pirro. If a family member, Kushner.

(18,548 posts)1) Vance brings no one to the polling place
2) Vance doesn't help in Ohio
Trump will pander... going either with Tim Scott to attempt to peel off a few votes from the AA community...
Or he'll go with Tulsi Gabbard to reach out to the women, disaffected Dems, younger voters and show bipartisanship.
And Tulsi is BIG with the MAGAts.
Noem was probably at the top of his list a month ago. But she's done now.

(3,991 posts)when did Trump care about positions? except her overt pro Putin tance. He'll care about that.
She has the look, whick is what matters most if he wants a woman, with Noem out

(25,589 posts)White supremacist male, misogynistic, vicious, ruthless, just as photogenic/repulsive as TSF but smarter and nastier. Checks all the right boxes. Good call by TSF's campaign if they bring him on board. Bad for America of course, no surprise there.

(12,511 posts)Wrong decision unless he admires Agent Orange's makeup routine and wants to keep up.
Last week, I caught a photo of Vance. The angle, the position of his hands and yes, the eyeliner made him look like a marionette.
Hummmmm.
Auditioning for the part, I guess. LOL!

Anyone know anything about her? Very weird comment in my opinion.

Someone earlier stated that "he looks the part" and my reply then applies here as well:
WTF are some here seeing that I clearly do NOT?

If the Corrupt Felon Donald tRump is going all in on the authoritarian platform, why not keep the whole ticket "in the family"?
Its rationale will be "there's no other person in politics who I can trust, and there's no one I can trust better than Junior."
And his MAGAt base will buy it, hook, line, sinker, and DJT long position.

I think he will pick Laura Trump, she is smart and as ugly as he is....
