Yeah, it wouldn’t be very long before she’d annoy him by stepping between him and the nearest camera, or saying something more appalling/lamentable/monstrous/illegal and thus drawing more coverage than him. ---

He needs someone boring and stable. Pence fit that before. He’s like a pungent cheese that goes on a bland cracker, not another pungent cheese. And he definitely doesn’t want anyone who might steal attention from him. ---

Anyone who is, from Donald’s POV, sufficiently loyal is going to make non-boring extreme statements. But if you are saying MTG is just too wacky for him to pick – probably yes. Kari Lake would be my uncreative guess. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > He needs someone boring and stable. … 100% this. Also–and bearing in mind that it’s not acceptable to criticize people for their looks–Trump DOES criticize people for their looks. He will want someone who “looks the part,” and that person will have to be at least somewhat photogenic. It’s possible that Marge is delusional enough to think Trump might pick her. It’s also possible that **she knows he won’t,** but knows also that this idea being floated will give her additional fund-raising capacity. I’d bet on the latter. ---

I think that, in his mind, his ideal candidate is a hot 35\*-year-old woman, who is utterly subservient to him, agrees with every thing he ever says, and serves as arm candy for his public appearances (while giving him hope that he might be able to sleep with her). \*- Actually, his ideal would probably be substantially younger, but she needs to be 35 to qualify for vice-president. ---

Male or female, anyway, they will have to be as subservient as Mike “_when you put your water bottle on the floor, I do too_” Pence was. (Okay, he didn’t carry that subservience through long enough to suit Donald, but for four years he did fit the bill!) ---

I think she misses the cut by virtue of not being sufficiently attractive. She isn’t ugly, but MTG doesn’t have that runway look that Donnie seems to favor. If Nikki Haley gets overlooked because of her skin (what’s he talking about anyway, I don’t see it) then MTG won’t make it either. Truth be told, it doesn’t matter who he picks. His fans will vote for the ticket even if he ran with Jane Fonda, while most of us wouldn’t consider voting for him even if he ran with Jesus. ---

Trumpist, loyal, racist, and willing to be a Trump toady? I suggest Texas’ very own Governor Greg Abbott. He’s reasonably good looking. He espouses Trump’s bullshit. Thanks to DeSantis, he has no path to the White House on his own. The worst part is that, if the Trump/Abbott ticket were elected, it would leave Dan Patrick in the Mansion. But, in Texas, the Lite Guv is the real political power in Austin, so getting Patrick out of there might work out. ---

Another option: a consitutional amendment declaring that life begins at conception, raising _everyone’s_ age by nine months. In addition to making Bristol old enough, it fires up the base. ---

Which is great, in a way. Haley would strengthen a Trump ticket, as opposed to whatckadoodles like MTG, Boebert, Lake and Noem. Trump spent his entire presidency making terrible personnel decisions. Hopefully that trend will continue. Pillow guy for VP! ---
