The MAGAts are still working on their hostility towards Obama -- and it wasn't because he was a Democrat.

First, he had the temerity to run against Trump in the first place.

Second, Trump thinks of these appointments as "casting". Tim doesn't come across as a "real" VP.

A STRONG Christian woman who has no issues being CONTROLLED body and soul by Government and her man in ALL things.

Like that will get women to vote in droves for him.

She's a former beauty queen, and Trump is all about looks, as are a lot of GOPers. Which is how a couple of incompetents. Noem and Nikki Haley, both managed to get elected to their respective governorships.

Noem, or some other generic milquetoast cardboard cutout white man like Pence.

Which is why he endorsed Trump over the woman who gave him his Senate seat. And, why he's all of a sudden engaged to his alleged girlfriend. It's more that Scott wants to be VP than it is an attempt to garner black votes. He's in for a big disappointment.

Anti-Abortion rights
Anti-LIGBTQ+
Anti-Affirmative Action
Anti-Union
Anti-Voting Rights
Anti-Marriage Equality

It makes no difference he is engaged to supposed Canadian girlfriend happens to be White. MAGA supporters are not that keen on interracial marriage to begin with if they are full on Evangelical Christian.

She and her ex set them up in order to hide the fact that they were using investment funds to buy all kinds of expensive luxury shit for themselves. She's a perfect fit for Trumpland--except for the black fiance thing.

I wondered if she was some naive Canadian that got dragged into a mess she didn't understand. Sounds like she fits right in. Quid pro quo, eh?

And he gets Stubby next to nothing. Plus he is too loud and wants too much attention for himself. Oh, and he's black.

It will likely be a subservient White woman. As others have said, Noem is likely, or some other less conspicuous but MAGA supporting woman. Not Greene or Boebert because as much bootlicking as they have done, they are still attention hogs and Trump will not allow anyone to interfere with the attention he wants to hog.
