Whoever the VP pick is, it needs to be somebody who is a slam-dunk candidate for 2028 to carry on. They need to look at this as the next Republican candidate for president; not simply a running mate in this election cycle. The VP pick needs to approach the nomination as the presumptive candidate to run for president in the next cycle. Republicans need to improve their minor league roster to have suitable candidates to call up to the major leagues. They don't seem to do well with that. There is no depth. If Trump were not the nominee, the Republicans would have to scramble to put up a candidate to beat the Biden machine and despite all of Biden's weaknesses, I don't think they could this go around.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Trump needs a Gov but im not crazy about Burgun. He needs a woman for helping with abortion but Stefanik isn’t a gov. Scott is cool and would help with blacks but we dont need SC. Carson will help with blacks and is a smart man. He just doesn’t fire up voters. We need Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Correct and this list might be a head fake. Huckabee Sanders is by far the best choice out there. No value added. While I consider you one of the smarter posters here, I will say I couldn’t disagree more. It counters the argument that he hates women. Are you suggesting that there is a woman or man out there who refuses to vote for Trump because they believe that “he hates women”… …and they will change their mind if he nominates Sanders? I am absolutely suggesting that. When you talk about the lawsuits accusing him of raping a woman (EJ Carrol) and allegedly sleeping with a prostitute (Stormy Daniels) a woman to defend against that who is known to be a strong Christian family woman is a hell of a surrogate. There are a lot of folks on the far right that don’t like Trump, and while they may not vote for Biden, they might not vote at all. Huckabee Sanders speaks to the Christian Right and if she puts her credibility on the line it will help. There is no other woman I can see on the ticket and I think there is something to be gained by having a woman. Not a big fan of identity politics, but I understand it, and she isn’t just a woman she is an eminently qualified woman. I disagree. No one who thinks Trump hates woman will be swayed by Sanders. He would be better off with Donalds. Exploit his success with Black men. OK, which one of them is moving? If Trump were some other billionaire, the fact that he was forced to stay in NYC for so many days this year would trigger NY State to go after him and claim that he is a resident (so they could tax him). Ironically, I bet NY State has solved the issue for him. I don't think this an issue anymore, given that the VP is no longer the guy who came in 2nd place. The problem is it is untested and this is the age of lawfare and I wouldn't want to leave that to the courts to decide. The Supreme Court? I'll take that chance. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If anything they would force a move into NYS to either serve incarceration, house confinement, or probation.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: The problem is it is untested and this is the age of lawfare and I wouldn't want to leave that to the courts to decide. As for NY and its tax treatment, I know a little about that having worked within that system for nearly a decade. They use a test for how many days you are in the state per year, whether overnight or not, and it has to be the majority of the year. Now simply traveling into the state for a meeting counts as a day of "residency" for tax purposes, and it is how the got Martha Stewart on tax evasion. However, residency for tax purposes is not the same as declared residency. What does he claim is his primary domicile? Where is he registered to vote? Where is his driver's license? What did he claim was his residence on his federal tax forms? Etc. Trump's Recent Felony Conviction might also be a factor to come into play - the Court normally has to approve any move of person under sentence or probation.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Trump lives in Florida as do two people on the list. The president and vice president cannot be from the same state. Who’s going to relocate? The Constitution does not say that the Pres and VP cannot be from the same state. What it says is that electors from that particular state cannot cast a vote for both if they are from the same state. That means that they would cast votes for Pres but not for VP in Florida. In a close race, you could end up with a Republican Pres and Democrat VP as a result. Picking a VP from a different state, however, would allow the Florida electors to cast ballots for both Pres and VP and put the Republican VP nominee above the Democrat VP nominee in total electoral votes. |

Carson is low energy, can't pick anyone from Florida without risking an electoral issue with the same state issue, Vance would be a strategically terrible pick to remove from senate, I'm not sure another white male is the most appealing to the electorate so that leaves out Bergum, leaves only Stefanik and Scott. I agree with others Huckabee Sanders should be considered. As the list is, I'm going to have to go with Tim Scott. |

Carson doesn't have the temperament to lead. He seems like a genuinely good guy but he does not project strength. As for the rest of the list, I don't see anyone that can give 2028 a strong run.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’m sure it will be a hardline conservative Christian like last time: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse2.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.EFOnFjyibXXsZk-CVEGYPQHaEK%26pid%3DApi&f=1&ipt=01493ccfa15ea98b36c3808832a06ae8eba2a054f1ed5e965a64e81f8befd386&ipo=images LOL!

I think he is going to pick a woman because it is the most pandering.

Quote HistoryQuoted: So every brain surgeon who has climbed the "ranks in academic medicine" is qualified to be an effective politician? And I'm the one who is naive? lol If you don't believe that Carson is "too low energy" to be Trump's VP, why not ask Trump? TRUMP: “Ben Carson is a very low energy person, actually, I think Ben Carson is even lower energy than Jeb, if you want to know the truth..." Ouch. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Rather than a person of color or a person of coochie, I think it's a lot more important that he pick a person of youth that matches his energy level. Picking a woman isn't going to make all the women suddenly support him, and the same goes for blacks. I think all of those old conventional electoral truisms are gone for this particular race. People who claim to still be undecided now are likely gonna vote for the dem anyway. The plan should be to get out the vote and harvest the ballots, not change anybody's mind. A good show of energy will energize voters to get out and vote for a change. Not mutually exclusive. Donalds is that guy. Carson is too low energy. You think a person can become a world-renowned neurosurgeon while being "too low energy". This is funny. This isn't brain surgery, it's politics. It's fair that you are naive as to what takes in place in climbing the ranks in academic medicine, much less at a place the level of prestige that is Johns Hopkins. I can assure you his auspicious career was a game of politics every day. His time actually spent in operating rooms saving lives was a relatively small fraction how he spent the average day.

Nobody is entertaining false dichotomy that every neurosurgeon is qualified to be an effective politician. If you think Ben Carson doesn't have what it takes to be an effective politician, that is fair. But saying it's because he is "low energy" is simply ridiculous and laughable. Fact is that "Low energy persons" don't make it through 7 grueling years of a Neurosurgery Residency working 110-120 hours a week, which is very likely what he had to endure at the time he trained and no work hour restrictions existed. In spite of the soft-spoken demeanor, the man is more "high energy" than anyone else on that list. |

Can you guess who is in charge of determining who is "high energy" enough to be VP? According to you, his assessment “ridiculous and laughable.” |
