I still don't have any idea who will be our presidential candidate in 2028...

But I have a great idea who could be a impressive vice presidential or high cabinet choice.

This is a little bit long, but please bear with me and read until the end !

We have many qualified people to run in a second or secondary position, but I'm waiting for the one that stands up to incompetence and corruption and says it to the face of that very incompetent and corrupt person.

Politicians have a great following of those of the same party and beliefs. But they aren't recognized, or heard and are mostly ignored by those on the other side. It has to be someone other than a politician.

So the question becomes "who reaches viewers of both sides of the political divide?

The only logical answer is someone who both the supporters and the adversaries will watch at the same time.

Again rephrasing the question " WHO"!

It has to be a well respected and recognized tv news anchor, journalist, or newsworthy celebrity. They are watched by both sides, both those who support and those who oppose the person being interviewed.

I won't try to tell them how to butter up the interviewee, they are pros.

But, when they feel the time is right, this is the question I'd like them to ask...

Mr President, how would you answer to the many big strong men with tears in their eyes, many of them combat veterans, that are asking that "after 47 presidents and 250 years in this great country, many people are saying that YOU are the most incompetent, corrupt, egotistical and narcissistic president in 250 years?"

Can you present or show evidence that they are wrong?

Then when TSF blows up and starts ranting just get up, turn your back on him and say, "he won't answer the question, this interview is over ".

I'd support or vote for that person in a heartbeat! *
