1. Must be able to deliver lies with force and conviction.

2. Or just stand behind TFG and remain silent, letting him do all the talking

I honestly can't remember Mike Pence speaking out on anything - even during his debate with Kamala Harris (and the fly), he only quoted TFG. Even on SNL, a Mike Pence character appeared in skits, but his job was just to sit there in the room, no lines. That's obviously what TFG wants and those who are vying for the spot are doing everything they can to demonstrate loyalty over substance.

3. Must bring lots of money, to Trump, not the party.

Must be invisible/low key and not take any glory away from Donald.

5. Exactly, and if his VP choice says anything, it has to be a quote from TFG, not his own thoughts.

4. Someone who savors the taste of his diaper

6. Nothing beats Vlad's strong, powerful denials.

For Reich's sake?
