    Default Who do you think Trump will choose as running mate (if he wins Repub nomination)?

    I think it'll be Tim Scott - evangelical Christian, senator (congressional experience), black, Pence-like laid back personality (not Type A), mysteriously dropped out of the race (maybe Trump offered).

    Some other alternatives:

    1. Nikki Haley - strongest VP candidate - might bring the surburban women, independents/moderates/dare I say never Trumpers hoping Trump will die on the job :-), neocons/warmongers/establishment/RINO appeasement. Anathema to the MAGA movement though.

    2. Vivek - might bring the youth, new voters - joining Trump's campaign

    3. Kristi Noem - woman with executive experience

    4. DeSantis - don't think he would accept although he should be Trump's successor if Trump is fortunate enough to win presidency - I think he would prefer to be FL's governor and his own boss than VP.

    OT: Nikki Haley/Joe Manchin would be a formidable No Labels ticket. Hopefully Haley honors that statement she signed promising to support the eventual Republican nominee.

    Looks like Vivek so far. Noem is possible too.

    Tulsi? - all the pluses of Nikki without the warmonger/RINO/establishment negatives.

    Kari Lake? - Trump loves her but she has no experience and reinforces the election denier theme.

    none of those aside from maybe kari lake and possibly tulsi. it'll most likely be some non-spotlight beta that we rarely hear about in the media.

    No way Trump picks anyone who will upstage him so goodbye Ramaswamy, DeSantis, MTG, Bobert, Tucker.

    He will want someone as boring as Pence.

    The ideal pick for him would be Ben Carson but the white, racist, male, MAGA base would never accept this.

    Lol yea, it's MAGA that Ben Carson needs to worry about and not the racist left.

    Libs talk about conservative blacks the way white racists talked about blacks back before civil rights.

    Sarah Huckabee? She's overweight, and you know how Trump is about looks. She was at his last Miami rally.

    Who knows what really goes into a VP pick. Who knows what kind of arrangements are made.

    I will say this though. From purely an optics standpoint, I want him to pick Tulsi Gabbard. I think the left's heads would explode.

    And boy oh boy would that make for an entertaining VP debate.

    how exactly would ben carson be the ideal pick? because he is black?

    Anyway the idea that the so-called "maga base" would reject a running mate simply because of their skin color is laughably... ask any of the members of this supposed "maga base" who the best supreme court justice is, 99.9% of them will say Clarence Thomas.

    Did Lil Ronny enter the VP fray? All those personal attacks by Lil Donny on him & his family and the guy endorses Donny?
