Of course... that doesn't narrow the list down very much.

It's his last opportunity to receive positive press before the election, and I think he'll try to wring out as much capital from that as possible for as long as possible. The actual choice will be almost a non-issue compared to the media saturation about trump making the choice as he runs up to it.

It'll be either Tulsi Gabbard, Byron Donalds, or Vivek Ramaswamy. No evidence to back this up; just a gut feeling.

JD Vance or Doug Burgum, but it will probably be whoever his big money donors tell him to pick.

If he picks Rubio -- you know that Republican internal polling shows that Florida is in play. He may take some Nazi asshole out of Pennsylvania because he thinks that Pennsylvania may be in play. I rather doubt that he even gives a shit who the VP is as long as it is someone who is a total sycophant to him. My guess today is that he probably selects the Vance asshole out of Ohio because he has to lock-up Ohio or else he takes some obnoxious white Bible Thumper from North Carolina or Oklahoma or Texas or Missouri to appease the Christo-Fascists in the Republican Nazi Party.

He's a "Nazi asshole out of Pennsylvania." But Vance is a possibility. I doubt he'll pick a woman, but not Nikki Haley because she's smarter than he is & might upstage him.

It's sad that Magdalena Goebbels is no longer available. She squarely checks all the requisite Republican Nazi hate boxes and has that unrequited "loyalty" which the Turd desires.

Earlier, it was supposedly between those 2 and Rubio, but Rubio's "enthusiasm" was said to be "in question." If that means Marco came to his senses and realized what a huge mistake it would be to join the Trump ticket, all I can say is good for him!

If it is between Vance and Burgum, I'd pick Burgum. I don't know much about him, but Vance strikes me as a guy who has a lot of opinions and might not be meek enough for TSF'S TASTE. Also, he's famous in his own right and might steal some of the spotlight.

Burgum is kind of a nobody from a nowhere state, like Pence and seems a lot less likely to be in danger of upstaging TSF. But who knows.

He is insane enough to appeal to Trump's dwindling base. Before Dogmurdergate, I would have picked Noem.
