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.
Except that Pence wasn’t sufficiently loyal.
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.
She’s a wacky attention-grabber too though.
I doubt he’s going to find anyone sufficiently loyal who isn’t an insane loudmouth.
Poor fella!
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.
Yes. 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.
That all sounds quite likely true to Trump’s character (to me, anyway).
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!)
If only Bristol Palin were nine months older…
It would be a mutual penis envy society.
I fail to see the problem:
Trump calls for the termination of the Constitution
Anyhow, if the case did go to the current Supreme Court, the 9 months would be up by the time they decided the case, at which time they could declare it moot.
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.
If Jesus was his VP I’d give him maybe one day in office.
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.
Naw, he likes running mates who aren’t crippled.
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.
With polls showing only an average 24% approval rating among Republicans, I doubt MTG is a viable VP candidate.
She has acne scars? That’s what is upsetting the gas bag, supposedly. 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!
If he goes by strength of resume, he has to pick George Santos.
No brainer.
And by “no brainer,” I mean the ticket would then be entirely devoid of functioning brain cells.
Not a bad choice, and agree with the reasoning. TFG is keeping score right now of who is the most loyal butt-snorkeler, and Abbott certainly is WAY up there.
