‘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

[surada]

You have to be kidding. You don't recall all the riots or occupy wall street movement. Or the Pink C##ts... leftist have such selective memories!

Most Democrats don't claim those people.

Weren't you born in 1957? Things changed and improved rapidly after WW2. Veterans didn't go back to sharecropping and coal mining. They went to school on the GI Bill.. and bought little track houses with kitchen windows overlooking the back yard.

My father was a WWII veteran and he returned to sharecropping until his health forced him to quit and take a factory job. It's hard to use the GI Bill with a 5th grade education during the Great Depression. He bought a house for the first time in 1964. It was in a neighborhood growing so fast, my school was on "double sessions" until 1968 when they built a new school. We had no kitchen window overlooking the back yard.

BTW, the correct term is "tract", not "track".

Hopefully a Tim Scott would not turn traitor to his country like Pence did when he sold out his country to The Swamp.

Like it or not Pence did his job. The states had all certified their votes and the EC voted. The constitution then says the vote will be accepted by congress and the new president sworn in.

There is no allowance to not follow this process to the letter once the EC's done and the votes counted.

This country would then have burned had Pence tried such a stunt and the SCOTUS would have immediately declared his doing so unconstitutional and to seat Biden as The Constitution requires.

The whole mess would then so enrage the public it might be a decade before another republican could be elected president if not longer.

 

[Big Bend Texas]

Meh. I'm not voting for Trump in the primaries.
We Republicans need to get past Trump.
If we lose in 2024 with Trump, because he repulses too many women voters, then the US can't be saved.
2024 is a "gimme" election, for ANY GOP candidate, except Trump.

Just like 2020, Trump is probably the only candidate Joe could beat with or without fraud.,

Pence did not do his job.

As President of the Senate he could have insisted upon an audit of the contested Democrat controlled swing districts. That was done in 1878 and could have been done in 2020. There was certainly enough evidence of Democrat fraud to warrant an audit.

Instead the sonofabitch let the Democrat filth getting away with stealing the election. He is a traitor to his country so piss on him.

No, no he could not.

Suck it whiner

 

[surada]

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.

I doubt Trump will win the nomination.

I'm sorry about your dad. Most communities, even small towns had remedial classes for veterans who hadn't finished high school. Two of my uncles taught such classes at night. They were also veterans. Tract is correct. Thanks for correcting my typo.

 

[Flash]

No, no he could not.

Suck it whiner

You liar.

An audit was done in 1878 and one could have been done in 2020.

You filthy ass Moon Bats shitheads didn't want an audit because you know that it would have exposed the fraud.

How many more audits could they do? I'm afraid they just can't.admit Trump is a shyster.

You filthy ass Moon Bats shitheads didn't want an audit because you know that it would have exposed the fraud.

Audit an election even though there wasen't massive fraud? Why? So you Trump asseater's can cry foul again when proven wrong?

And why would Pence want to spend another four years sucking hind tit behind that lunatic Trump? If he did he should seek out therapy for being a masochist behind Trump's sadism.

‘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.”

Cruz would be a good pick.
Actually Manchin or Sinema would be a better pick.
