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. ---

Isn’t floating running mates before securing a nomination usually considered a desperate move by a candidate with little chance of doing so? ---

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. ---

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. ---

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. ---
