Quote HistoryQuoted: Rubio Edit: not crazy about Rubio, but out of the 3 remaining, he has the best voter pickup with Hispanics. Rubio is a product of the Miami Cuban political community. Hispanic culture is not homogeneous. Puerto Ricans flooding Hialeah don't seem to like the Cubans. I don't know what Mexicans think of him. He may have a narrower Hispanic appeal than expected. Either way he is an empty suit and should be nowhere near the whitehouse. Florida is cursed with P.O.S. senators. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Trump needs moderate women .it's the only group that's flaky enough to switch votes in numbers that matter. Tulsis is the only candidate that I can think of that could greatly impact that. I don't think who he democrats run will change that equation. Unless democrats run someone more libertarian then both of them which will never happen |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Tier 1: Tulsi Gabbard - Outsider, presumably loyal to Trump since she has nowhere else to go. She speaks well and is female so already she's appealing to people not normally on Trump's radar. Me, personally: I'd make her Secretary of Veteran's Affairs and let her prove herself and new "conservative" ideology. Vivek Ramaswamy - Another outsider and loyal to Trump. Speaks well and is Indian so he's appealing to people not normally on Trump's radar. Big plus is Vivek is young therefore he's the logical choice to guide MAGA when Trump fades off into the sunset (whenever that is). My choice for VP. Give him a front-row seat to the swamp and show him who needs to find employment somewhere besides D.C. so he can solidify his run for President in 2028. Larry Elder - Outsider/loyal to Trump. Speaks well and is Black. Larry can debate with the best of them and would demolish Kamala in a debate if the "black" audience actually cared. Personally: I'm picking him for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Tier 2: Ben Carson/Byron Daniels - Essentially the same pick, Ben just being older so advantage to Daniels. Larry has way more intensity than either of those guys and can speak to the failures of Newsom/California and Big Government in the hood better which is why he's Tier 1. Kristi Noem - Good track record (for the most part) in SD. Appeals to the white, suburban, housewife theme. Not a great debater but good enough against Kamala. Rand Paul - Smartest guy in the room/actual conservatism cred. Older white guy so he doesn't shore up much Trump doesn't already have. Personally: Pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services or at least who he'd want if he didn't want to leave the Senate. Thomas Massie - Not much different than Rand. Massie has his head screwed on straight. I'd give him whatever cabinet position he wanted. Rand Paul would have to abandon his senate seat which leaves the democrat governor to fill it. As much as I like Rand Paul, that would be a non starter. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Right. He’s saying Tulsi would make him choose to not vote, for whatever reasons. She wouldn’t be vacating a critical Senate seat. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Only guaranteed way to make me not vote for Trump, is to add Tulsi to the ticket. But it makes sense, neither are really conservative. Do you know something that the rest of us are overlooking? Clearly not the importance of things like SCOTUS appointments. Won't be able to get those appointments through the senate without control of the senate, so removing someone from a critical seat like Vance from Ohio or Rubio Florida wouldn't be smart. Right. He’s saying Tulsi would make him choose to not vote, for whatever reasons. She wouldn’t be vacating a critical Senate seat. I know. I'm just making the point again for those that don't get it. Too many people here want to make very unstrategic choices just because they like the guy in question. I'd rather it be Tulsi vs that just to ensure he doesn't make a critical error in the Senate like he has done repeatedly in his first term. |

He needs someone with name recognition and appeal to the Midwest states. It would be nice to pick a Hispanic VP and see AZ, NM, and NV turn red again but that's not going to get him elected. T$ needs to carry what he had last cycle, pick up WI, MI, and PA and it's game over.

Tim Scott would be the best choice. He will help win some of the black vote. He is loyal by nature. He is a hammer lock to be replaced by a conservative, both in a temporary replacement and long term. Our governor McMaster can be depended on to appoint a solid senator. Scott seems to get along well with Trump, a team player. He might not be the 2028 nominee, but he can help Trump win in 2024.

Someone said several years back that while Trump is not a conservative, he governed more conservatively than they expected. Thats about the most generous way to describe him. Tulsi’s voting record is anything but conservative. She can say whatever she wants, but I don’t trust her. Considering Trump’s age, her as his VP, and potential POTUS is a no go for me. So while they are both “republicans”, neither is conservative at a base level. |
