I talked about it here on the boards right after she lost the election, as people asked “what next”. I think she’s an awful choice for two reasons.
-
She is a crazy, big personality, loud and CT-spewing. Like Sidney Powell mixed with MTG. She’s going to take attention away from Donnie and he would hate that. He probably wants a boring guy like Pence was, keeps their mouth shut and just stands there.
-
Donnie also probably needs someone more boring and sane to appeal to a bigger demographic. Pence again did that job; he was somewhat old school Republican and actually conservative (big and little C both), and very religious. I don’t see Lake being a draw to anyone that wouldn’t vote for Trump anyway, except maybe a tiny number who want a woman and/or younger person as VP. (And that can’t be too many on that side.)
I still don’t think she’d be great and I think Trump’s people won’t either.
I will say one thing… She has broadcasting experience and she knows how to work a camera since she was a news anchor and reporter once. But I think she’d just serve better as a mouthpiece on Fox News or whatever to talk him up, she doesn’t need to be VP for that.
