Not a bad idea. It guarantees he will lose.
Unfortunately, I think we need a word softer than “guarantees.”
This is likely to energize the Republican base. If Democrats stay home thinking Trump can’t possibly win, he possibly can. He’ll hopefully be too busy under indictment at that time.
That’s what we thought the last time.
Isn’t floating running mates before securing a nomination usually considered a desperate move by a candidate with little chance of doing so?
The only thing that could beat that ticket would be a dumpster fire at a dog park.
It helps keep his candidacy possibilities alive… at least for now.
And since there isn’t a dumpster fire at a dog park ticket, I fear that they will be the next POTUS and vice-president.
Consequently a lot of people are doomed.
Pence added legitimacy to Trumps ticket, MTG is just Trump with extra Trump.
That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
Trump should do buckets of jail time, but he’ll probably get off scot-free and then become president again.
This stuff scares the crap out of me.
This is a delicious idea of trump’s-- adding taylor-greene to the ticket will grow Republican support and interest like a peach tree dish, and help the Repubs fight off the left-wing deep state gazpacho police.
Thanks a lot! You have ruined peach cobbler for me.
This would put me in the untenable and unthinkable position of wishing for Trump’s good health.
:shudder:
ETA: ORANGE-GREEN(E) 2024!

New York Times political reporter Robert Draper says the party’s embrace of lies and conspiracy theories has opened the door to fringe actors, who have become among the party’s most influential leaders. He points to Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene as a prime example of the party’s extreme new direction.Greene has expressed support for QAnon conspiracies and reportedly endorsed the idea of executing Democratic leaders. While campaigning for office in 2020, she posed with a custom AR-15 pistol in her campaign ads and presented herself as a “Trump mini-me,” Draper says.
“This seemed outlandish to sort of run-of-the-mill Republicans, but the base wanted a MAGA warrior to send from their district to Washington, and that’s what they got,” Draper says.

This cannot be a serious idea for governing the country - I am sure it’s just right-wing clap-trap designed to goad a reaction from the libs and focus attention away from TFG’s mounting legal woes. I ain’t taking the bait.
The only wisdom in it is choosing a running mate from a (very) slim blue state like Georgia or Arizona and Georgia has more electors.
To the contrary, it would grab media space and draw crowds. Could be a winner.
I hope Trump gets stopped long before it would get to that point, and I also think she would improve his chances of getting elected. Anyone who genuinely cares about quality of candidates wouldn’t vote for Trump anyway. Doubling down on the Trump/MAGA/Q/Bizarro World BS makes sense as a strategy for him.
Trump’s 2016 campaign was also not a serious idea for governing the country. But here we are.
