Sadly, I have to agree with this.
Having MTG as veep would deter Democrats from impeaching and removing Trump.
And if he were elected, he’d never be un-elected, because instead of Pence’s whole “oath to the constitution” thing, she’d gladly do TFG’s bidding to overturn an election loss.
So, my prospective boss sent a mob to murder my predecessor? Sign me up!
This is probably true. But not every vote going to Trump is a vote for Trump. Many of those are people voting against whoever the Democratic candidate is. If you put someone even more reprehensible on the other ticket, that might spur someone to instead vote against MTG or just not bother to vote at all.
Have you seen a serious idea for governing the country come out of the republican party?
It doesn’t actually make any sense, though, since you usually try to shore up some kind of weakness with a vice president and to appeal to a crowd that your president might not appeal to.
There’s no one that’s thinking “I don’t know, I don’t like Trump that much, but I love MTG so I’ll vote for him” - if you support MTG, you’re definitely a Trump cultist already. She adds nothing to the campaign - it just doubles down on the Trump cultists who are already fully on board.
One thing’s for sure, the vice presidential debates between Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Democratic VP will be must-watch TV.
She’ll probably bring a gun and try to shoot her opponent.
Yep. It’s a way of saying, “I’m going to run” (and thereby keeping his followers from ditching him, and pretending he’s a candidate for that potential political immunity to prosecution) without pissing off the GOP before midterms.
So there’s a good chance she’ll shoot herself in the foot figuratively and literally.
Neither one of them are fit to lead even a pack of rats.
Just think, if that pair wins, we’ll have something like Secretary of State Boebert, Secretary of War, I mean Defense Flynn, Attorney General Rubio, Secretary of the Interior Cruz, and Salacious Crumb as Lindsey Graham.
Alternatively, Trump might simply declare Vlad Putin the holder of all Cabinet seats.
It would have the virtue of representing the actual situation behind a second Trump presidency. Plus, the MAGA crowd would love it!!!
crazy and crazierer
Pence got evangelical Christians to hold their nose and vote for Trump.
Taylor-Greene doesn’t add anything to the ticket. She won’t attract any voters that aren’t already planning on voting for Trump.
Didn’t they already do a remake of Dumb and Dumber?
I mean, I guess it’s possible that some people would be willing to vote for Trump to defeat the Democrat, but not vote for Trump with MTG. But I’m betting that’s an exceedingly thin slice of the electorate.
On the other hand, I suppose there may be a heftier slice who won’t vote for a woman, so if the Democratic candidate is male, maybe it does end up hurting his chances some.
I’m betting it’s larger than the group of people that only decided to vote for Trump because MTG is his running mate.
I don’t think MTG would survive months of close proximity to Trump. His narcissism demands constant tribute from his lackeys who remain in a position of perpetual inferiority. This worked well with Pence who has the backbone of a bowl of Jell-o. But MTG has a big ego just like Trump does. And Trump will not allow that. Remember, this is the guy who took a Sharpie to a goddamn government chart because he had already embarrassed himself by saying a storm was going to hit a particular state when in fact as proven by scientists doing science, that storm wasn’t going to come anywhere close to that state. At some point MTG would said the sky was blue and Trump would say no it isn’t, it’s neon pink and if Trump is at risk of losing that argument he reserves the right to have you murdered by a mob. And let’s not even start on what Trump thinks about women and what his fame entitles him to do to them. I don’t wish that on anyone, not even MTG but if she’s going to be his running mate I think she should prepare for the idea that he is exactly who he says he is.
I disagree.
