Carson is obviously intelligent and gives me confidence. I think a great deal of JD Vance but would like to keep him in Ohio for now.

I like Carson and think that he is the best choice from this list, but it won't get him the win.
If Trump has any chance to win, he needs to pick up Independent woman votes. Tulsi would be the best option to go after that demographic. |

None of these are great. We have to choose a VP based on them being independently electable in four years.
I don't get there with these choices. Of those: Donalds Carson Stefanik What I REALLY want: DeSantis (long game) Ramaswamy (unless we're saving him for Attorney General) |

Quoted: random ...Woman...... I believe he tried to rape her and deserves the 85 million but now I see he is picking a woman as a VP I will vote for him now because I was wrong he likes woman . Makes total sense View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: If you say so. random ...Woman...... I believe he tried to rape her and deserves the 85 million but now I see he is picking a woman as a VP I will vote for him now because I was wrong he likes woman . Makes total sense Do women make sense to you? Do you find them to be logical creatures? A man pointing out how he was railroaded with those charges and judgement will be decried as a woman hater from the party that hates women. If a polished woman who managed, and ate alive, the White House Press Corps points out the inconsistencies in the story it goes a lot further in neutralizing it. A man talking about abortion in any fashion other than taxpayer funded abortions for everybody is dismissed out of hand. A mother who speaks about it does some from a stronger position. I don't like Nicki Haley, but during the debates she was the only Republican who had a somewhat effective position on abortion. You don't have to win the majority of women, but you need to win a larger minority of them, and a female VP helps in that regard - especially when you are dealing with a presidential candidate that has been "found guilty" of rape and is a "convicted felon." The whole point of what the left has done is to drive a further wedge between the GOP and women. They know they are losing the Black and Hispanic vote slowly but surely, and they can't afford to lose women, so you can bet your ass that abortion and "Trump's treatment of women" will be center stage in the democrat's strategy. What's your proposal to counter it? |

Quoted: Dude Trump doesn't need a woman as a VP pick to try and convince batshit crazies he never tried to rape that crazy bitch or that he doesn't hate women . Most of his top executives in his corporations are women . A women VP pick won't fix that .

I challenged what she thought she knew and made her question the bullshit she’d been fed. She is more conservative than 87% of ARF easily. Sometimes you need somebody to challenge your beliefs to get you thinking. Huckabee Sanders can make a very convincing case that the narrative is wrong. No man is going to do that period.

If a woman after researching this case still comes to the conclusion he tried to rape her and attacked her in a dressing room they are either a partisan or just stupid . A woman VP won't change that thought process . The problem is nobody is researching shit. They are taking the media at their word. The only way you get them to question what they believe to be true is to make a convincing argument to the contrary and spoon feed them the truth. You think a man is going to be the one to do that with women? I managed to do that with my wife because well she was my wife and it was constant exposure day in and day out. That's not the world candidates and voters live in. It is the soundbite. It is who appears sincere. It is who you relae to. Tell me how well that will work with some rando conservative male politician and the female electorate. |

Quoted: I Really Want Cruz on the SC Quoted: That is the place that he could help us the most View Quote Ted Cruz on the SCOTUS would be an incredible pick - Cruz is still relatively young, so a long term would be possible.
