‘They’re all begging me’: Trump’s 2024 veep tryouts get underway...could be Tim Scott or an Asian American in California, somebody Hispanic in Texas

[Lesh]

I doubt Pence would want him!

Why not?

 

[Devils_Advocate]

Why not?

January 6th 2021!

I doubt Pence would ever want to be VP again!

 

[Lastamender]

I think its worse with accomplished men.. He can't get along with anyone.. He has some kind of tiny dick insecurity. Look how he treated Chris Christie? Look at his problems with Kelly, Tillerson, Pence etc. His problems with men are psychosexual.

Look how he trashed Desantis for ingratitude.

You got it bad. What about your psycho-sexual feelings?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Right, because Trump runs away from strong personalities like a coward. You can really tell by his staff with folks like Giuliani, Christie and McEnany, who are very timid & obscure.

Glad we agree Trump runs away from strong personalities like a coward. Rudy is a shell of his former self and had prostrated himself and destroyed his career all at the command of Trump. Chris Christie showed his true colors in the 2016 campaign when he because the first to kneel and kiss the ring of Trump less than 6 days after attacking Trump.

The Constitution allows for an audit

Please give us the Article and Section of the US Constitution that allows for this.

I don't have Trump's issues. He very insecure and jealous of other men.

Your posts say something different. Denial is a defense mechanism. Seek help, dork.

What...he don't want Pence?

Obviously not. I see him choosing between DeSantis and Hawley.

 

[Magnus]

When Trump recently mused about picking DeSantis as a running mate, many in Trump circles said he was putting the governor in his place, not seriously floating him as a name.

“Trump feels he made DeSantis. Trump sees him as a competitor. And he’s not going to have someone with better numbers,” one Trump adviser said.

Poor orange man. Feeling biggly challenged by anyone with better poll numbers.

‘They’re all begging me’: Trump’s 2024 veep tryouts get underway

The question of Trump’s prospective choice of running mate is surfacing with increasing frequency.

www.politico.com

excerpts:

Those familiar with his thinking say his selection will be determined by two factors that rate highest in Trump’s estimation: unquestioned loyalty and an embrace of the former president’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

He’s name-dropped Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as one possible running mate. Veepstakes speculation rose among insiders who saw him interact recently with South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at his Mar-a-Lago club.

“They’re all begging me. They all come here,” Trump boasted to one adviser, who shared the account anonymously with POLITICO


“A lot of times, a presidential candidate will pick a running mate to balance out wings of the party. But with Trump, that’s not the issue. He is the party, basically. It’s so united behind him,” said John McLaughlin, one of Trump’s campaign pollsters. “So his choice, if he runs, will come down to what he wants. It would be a much more personal decision this time.”

The issue of a running mate, advisers and allies say, has taken on a new dimension in Trump’s mind as he stews over his decision to pick Pence in 2016, only to watch the vice president help certify the election of Joe Biden as president in January.

The considerations that led Trump to name Pence as his ticket mate in 2016 — an evangelical conservative, Pence was a Rust Belt governor at the time of his selection — are no longer as relevant, Trump’s advisers say. They say Trump is far more likely to go with his gut instinct next time around. Trump partly relied on his daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, during the selection process last time, but the two are not expected to play the same role if he runs in 2024.

“Once you get past those two issues — loyalty and Trump going more with his gut — Trump has a lot of leeway in who he would pick,” said Tony Fabrizio, Trump’s lead pollster in 2016 and 2020.

“He's not necessarily looking to balance the ticket geographically, but what he can do is pick to balance gender, race, ethnicity — a lot of different lanes there,” said Fabrizio, who is polling for a Trump-affiliated super PAC. “It could be everything from a Tim Scott in South Carolina to an Asian American in California, somebody Hispanic in Texas. There are so many choices and paths. And there’s lots of time to go.”

Those familiar with Trump’s thinking say his prospective vice president selection would likely draw from three general lanes of candidates: women, conservatives of color or a trusted adviser — or a “consigliere,” as one adviser described it.

Scott, the first elected Black senator from the South since the Reconstruction era, recently met with Trump in Palm Beach.

“It was a really warm interaction,” said one Republican observer in the room. “Scott was appropriately deferential without being gross, like some people are. What he said was thoughtful, and it was appreciated by the president. There was definitely chemistry there.”

Scott, who is running for reelection in 2022, has proved to be a prodigious fundraiser as well, pulling in $8.4 million in the last quarter. He hasn’t denied his own interest in a presidential bid in 2024, but he has said he wouldn’t run if Trump does. The South Carolina senator has already begun visiting other early presidential nominating states like Iowa and New Hampshire.

Longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone said the shadow presidential campaigns from Scott and so many others double as a sort of vice-presidential tryout for Trump.

“This is an audition. And Trump is paying attention,” Stone said. “There’s no question that people running for president are really running for vice president all the time. The key is to make it look like you’re not running for vice president.”

Among some Trump advisers, Florida Lt. Gov. Jeanette Nuñez is viewed as a promising future star. They say Trump likes her and raved about her speaking role at his nominating convention last summer. But her public and political footprint have been limited under DeSantis, who’s widely seen as an heir apparent to Trump. The two men have a cordial and respectful public relationship, but privately Trump sees the younger DeSantis as a potential rival.

When Trump recently mused about picking DeSantis as a running mate, many in Trump circles said he was putting the governor in his place, not seriously floating him as a name.

“Trump feels he made DeSantis. Trump sees him as a competitor. And he’s not going to have someone with better numbers,” one Trump adviser said.

Yet there is one wrinkle that could potentially limit either Florida politician from getting the nod: a quirk in the Constitution that suggests a presidential candidate would face a unique hurdle with a running mate who hails from the same state.When Trump recently mused about picking DeSantis as a running mate, many in Trump circles said he was putting the governor in his place, not seriously floating him as a name.

Yet there is one wrinkle that could potentially limit either Florida politician from getting the nod: a quirk in the Constitution that suggests a presidential candidate would face a unique hurdle with a running mate who hails from the same state.

However, Trump is keenly aware that he had a problem with women voters, increasing the likelihood that he might look to strike a gender balance on his ticket. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn have risen in the way-too-early veepstakes chatter because both are “tough as nails and conservative as hell,” one adviser to Trump said

Trump’s former acting national security director, Ric Grenell, has also risen in the estimation of Trump insiders, as has another potential presidential candidate, Mike Pompeo

“Don’t sleep on Ric. Trump loves him, and unlike Pompeo or anyone else, he has no interest in running for president. That’s a big issue for Trump,” another adviser said of Grenell, who recently joined the board of directors for Trump’s super PAC.

Michael Caputo, a former Trump campaign staffer who worked in his administration, said it’s hard to forecast whom Trump might pick because there’s so much time to go. Whomever is chosen “will have to be loyal, and they’ll have to denounce what happened in 2020. If they don’t, they’re disqualified.”

Kellyanne Conway, a top Trump adviser, echoed Caputo.

“Who should he pick?” she asked. “Whoever he wants.”

As I stated in another post Trump and Desantis are both from Florida. The Constitution addresses the impact on the Electoral College. They cannot run on the same ticket. Cheney had to move his residence back to Wyoming in order to run with GWB.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Elizabeth Warren is a possibility too. I think she's possibly the strongest candidate they have right now.

Yeah, run a New England progressive and see how many blue states she loses!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You are confused silly girl.

The Constitution allows for an audit under the rules of the Senate and it has been done before with less evidence than we had in 2020.

He didn't do it and that is why he will go down in history as a traitor allowing an illegitimate President to assume office.

You Moon Bats don't know any more about the Constitution than you know about Economics, History, Biology, Climate Science or Ethics, do you?

Got a link to those rules?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

FJB got more "votes" than Obama, so why do you think 2024 would be a gimme for any non-TRUMP candidate?

Mail-in ballots that were fraudulent.

 

[Turtlesoup]

He's not looking for a good vp. He wants and demands the sole limelight!

He could care less about positioning a good vp, nor does he care about the RNC future presidential possibilities and positioning imo....

Fyi
He can't win with Florida's electoral votes being left out....if he picks DeSantis, both being from Florida, the Constitution prevents those elector votes from counting.... (Vp and president have to be from different states.)

It's why in the 2000 election, both Cheney and Bush living in Texas, Cheney changed his home state back to Wyoming, where he still owned a second home....so that the Texas electoral votes, could be counted.

OMG---the stupidity of the comment. Trump can only be president for 4 more years---if he wants his policies continued and he does, he needs a good VP that can take over in 4 years. Trump knows this even if the dimwits are to dumb to get this.

#1) Trump should not run just endorse

#2) Ticket should be Haley/Crenshaw or Scott/Crenshaw IMO

 

[BrokeLoser]

No way Trump picks anyone with a strong personality as his VP, he will not share the spot light and he will not allow anyone to ever question him.

It would be a career killing move for Desantis to run with Trump.. Trump has real issues with men.. He is compelled to humiliate them and scapegoat them.

Well, in Trump's defesne he does that with women as well, just in different ways.

I think its worse with accomplished men.. He can't get along with anyone.. He has some kind of tiny dick insecurity. Look how he treated Chris Christie? Look at his problems with Kelly, Tillerson, Pence etc. His problems with men are psychosexual.

Look how he trashed Desantis for ingratitude.

Yeah, those stupid billionaires, they do it all wrong…they have no people/communication skills. Billionaires should consult with extreme TDS’ers in cyberspace to help hone their skills.

 

[iceberg]

Pence was a traitor to his country as Senate President allowing the 2020 election to be certified without an audit of the contested districts, dispite overwhelming evidence of fraud. He sold out his country to the Swamp and that was despicable.

Hopefully a Tim Scott or another VP wouldn't do that.

list the part of the constitution that allowed pence to take such action.
