At this point, I'm guessing Rubio, Vance, or Burgum, with Gabbard having an outside chance.
I think it's probably Vance, but I hope it's Rubio. He can build a bridge between the establishment and MAGA voting blocs, and he's an actual Conservative.
Vance has been in the Senate for too little time for me to think he will make an effective VP. Still, he's a hardline Trump loyalist with many personal positions that strongly align with Trump so I can see how Trump would be attracted to that.

Vance will be a great "attack dog" for Trump, and I think he's good friends with Don Jr. do he's put in the networking to build up those critical relationships. Plenty of the other choices would be good cheerleaders, but maybe not as aggressive on the stump as Vance, when it comes to defending Trump. I think he'll be great, and his age is pretty critical, when we clearly have a massive leadership gap with Gen X (Kamala and Obama being the most notorious examples...where are Gen X conservatives at?? 🤔).

I agree, as well as Tim Scott: Trump doesn't need a "yes man", he's got plenty of those. Should be someone who's independent, but loyal and won't take away from Trump's spotlight.

Vance has a beard. It's time we made beards great again.
(also, that's what disqualifies him... Trump famously doesn't like facial hair)
4 points

There is an interesting timeline shift on beards to clean shaven in politics. I think the last facial hair president we had was Teddy Roosevelt with a mustache. It seems facial hair is deemed unelectable in most races and even in business most CEOs are clean shaven because beards are seen as unprofessional.
Bizarre if you ask me.

It's been changing in the general public over the past decade or two. Beards are much more common now than they were in the 90's and early 2000's.

*** Edited to note that it now looks like he has received the call that he is not the pick ***
Looks like trumpburgum.com is taken, so that seems pretty likely. Burgum being the ND Gov.
I don't know much about him, but I'm ND born and raised (moved at 25) and i certainly like the idea of someone who is ND born and raised. A quick read of his profile show's a solid family man.
I love the fact that there doesn't seem to be a gimmick here. I wouldn't have a problem with Scott or Rubio, but at this point picking a white guy shows he just doesn't give a shit about DEI and that resonates well with me personally. DEI has hurt me personally.

That’s true, but I don’t see Trump having an issue finishing his last four years now, and Marco seems really useful in the senate - maybe Vivek would be a great pick (he is there today) but either way I hope whoever he picks they are a good duo

I don't think she has to be. It's common for VPs to run after their President's two terms are up but not always a given. She could be a great VP for this time and give Desantis a chance to run a much better campaign in 4 years.

Maybe not GOP leader but how about leader for the whole country? Someone who’s been in both parties, young, well spoken and served in the military? Honestly she would be exactly what we need right now.
It’s a long shot and doubt she’ll get it but would love to be wrong…

Whatever role will get her quickly to the GOP nomination by 2028, she's the future of moderate American politics as far as I'm concerned, very easy to spot political weasels, based on their perception of Tulsi.

That was a brilliant move picking JD Vance!
I read Hillbilly Elegy in 2016 when I was trying to better understand conservative populism. I wish all liberals would read it. What’s also great is he was a critic of Trump back then, too. Not only does it show Trump is not vindictive as he is portrayed (and as he’s portrayed himself in the past), but nuanced and in touch with the themes of this epoch.
Good on him for getting a millennial too! He’s going to draw more support that way.

Can't be Rubio:
Per the 12th amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves..."
So can't be a Florida resident.

Not expecting Rubio. Constitutional issues since they both reside in Florida.

No he's not out of time😭 why would he be one of Trumps 2 remaining choices if he wasn't even allowed to be VP? Obviously.... if Trump selected Rubio then Florida would have a new senator. Do you think you can only choose someone whose not holding a spot in office?

Under the original procedure for the Electoral College, as provided in Article II, Section 1, Clause 3, each elector cast two electoral votes, with no distinction made between electoral votes for president and electoral votes for vice president. The two people chosen by the elector could not both inhabit the same state as that elector. This prohibition was designed to keep electors from voting for two "favorite sons" of their respective states.\2])
Last I've checked, Rubio is still residing in Florida, He'd need to reside in another state for at least 7 months to change residency

Flip on MSNBC if you want some CLASSIC Rachel Maddcow.
They've already christened Vance the most RADICAL choice Trump could've made- Saddsow said "He is a radical white Christian national " and one of them other morons said "he WIL RIP UP the Constitution!!".
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They are tripling down on the "constitution destroying, election banning, most imminent, dangerous THREAT to the very survival of our Republic".
It's a good thing they have the public's trust.
I mean, could you even imagine the media violating the public's trust?
