"SNIP......

Donald Trump “is strongly considering picking a female running mate — and sees Kari Lake as a model for his vice-presidential pick,“ Axios reports.

“Trump is already gaming out the general election in November 2024 — and knows he has a massive weakness with the white suburban women he would need to beat President Biden.”

Let him choose a vaseline filter on the camera VP. Then the base will be frightened off during the no Vaseline VP debate when they see a 53 year old white woman on their screens and they'll run away.

The CPAC straw poll actually chose Kari Lake as the VP nominee, but Kari said she could not be the VP nominee because she’s the Governor of Arizona.

Mar 2023

Defeated Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is emerging as one of the party's early favorites to become the Republican nominee for vice president, alongside presidential candidate Donald Trump, in 2024.

Over the weekend at the Conservative Action Political Conference (CPAC), Lake was the clear favorite at the annual gathering of party influencers, winning one-fifth of the vote in a straw poll of 28 candidates weighing whom attendees would most like to see elected to the No. 2 slot in the White House in 2024. Trump also polled at the top as a presidential candidate.

However, Lake, who is still contesting her loss to Democrat Katie Hobbs in the Arizona governor's race in November, said she would be constitutionally unable to take the job, even if she wanted to. By the time 2024 rolls around, she said, she'll be too busy with her position as Arizona's governor.

But it just angers me to no end that we had a proven elected office holder in Tim Ryan, and Vance who never ran for any election ever gets elected as a Senator in stupid Ohio. Just because he parrots Trump. I still am not over it.

I’ve been reading that Michigan was just as bad as we are a few years ago, and they managed to turn things around …. I just can’t see it happening here…..
