MTG review: far-right rabble rouser makes case to be Trumps VPMarjorie Taylor Greene has been one of the most fierce warriors in Congress for America First and all it stands for, Donald Trump announces, before the reader reaches the table of contents for the far-right Georgia congresswomans book. Over more than 275 pages, the tome duly reads like an audition for the No 2 slot on the 2024 Republican presidential ticket.
The idea of being Trumps vice-presidential pick is talked about frequently and I know my name is on a list but really my biggest focus right now is serving the district that elected me, Greene told the Guardian in August. But, of course, thats up to [Trump]. But I would be honored and consider it Ill help him do whatever in any way I can.
Venom, score-settling, fiction, self-absolution, self-aggrandizement. Greenes book, MTG, has it all. It is published by Winning Team, the publishing firm Donald Trump Jr co-founded. In an unforced error, the book was printed in Canada. So much for America First.
On the page, Greene repeatedly reminds us that she is a mother and a Christian. As for her divorce in 2022 from her long-suffering husband and business partner? Barely a word. As for its alleged surrounding circumstances, affairs, tantric sex guru and all? Nada.

(28,836 posts)He's not going to pick someone who will take any attention away from him.
He'll pick someone who has no problem taking the surrogate asshole/bigot role in the campaign, but won't overshadow Trump.

(11,851 posts)... if he tells her to keep her mouth shut a lot more than she does now, you know she will. She'll do anything Trump tells her to. Besides, I would think Trump would be very happy to be succeeded by her should that need to happen.
TwilightZone
(28,836 posts)I think Trump knows that, as well.
He also wants to win so he can stay out of prison, and I think she brings nothing to the ticket. In the general, I think she'd be more of a detriment than an advantage.
I doubt he cares who succeeds him as long as he wins.

Even Orange Agent's campaign people must know that Marge would be the final kiss of death.
Then again, let the stupid reign!

He'll go somewhere odd... like Vivek or Hispanic?? If she wasn't from FL, I'd bet money on him picking that new young Freshman House Rep (I forgot her name)

PJMcK
(25,126 posts)Trump alienates everyone who doesn't bow down to him. Democrats are his prime target, of course, but he's had plenty of nasty things to say about Republicans. That they still support him to any degree is a remarkable condemnation of their perfidy and cravenness.
It's somewhat hard to believe that the two of these cretins could ascend to the top of our government! There are some very disturbed people in our country who vote for idiots like these.

(33,424 posts)He knows he goes off the rails so he will want someone who is pretty much the opposite. That is why is picked Pence in 2016. I think he will pick someone like that. MTG is as off the rails as he is.

Its why the incompetent and ignorant Alina Habba is the face of his defense.
I guess Pence was in some way arm candy for Trump. Sick.
