My bet?

Scott or Stefanik.

Scott would be the smart pick but I’ll bet on a magaty woman instead.

[LuFins Dad]

I fucking give up.

Two things...

1. Scott brings the black vote or at least helps negate Headboard Harris.
2. Stefanik? Trump is now within 10 points in New York. I don't think he can win New York, but can Stefanik help the GOP down ticket? And can she help blunt the abortion issue?

[George K]

I've read rumors of Rubio. However, like an anti-Stefanik, I don't see the point. Florida is not an issue.

Also, Marco would have to change residence. POTUS and VPOTUS have to be "from" different states.

[Copper]

I still wonder whether either Mr. Trump or Mr. Biden will end up on the ballot.

[Axtremus]

Maybe Trump will select another Trump relative to be his VP candidate, like he made Laura Trump the head of the RNC.

Don Jr.

Wouldn't that be fun?

Nah...

Don Jr. for AG.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

Donald Trump has narrowed down his search for a running mate and is focused on four potential vice president candidates, all of whom are men, according to a report.

Trump, who was historically convicted of 34 felony charges in New York last week, has recently received vetting material from some of the candidates, sources told NBC News.

The source told the outlet that the search is concentrating on North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and US Senators Marco Rubio of Florida, Tim Scott of South Carolina, and JD Vance of Ohio.

In the very first sentence, the "Independent" tells you that Trump hates women.

In the second, they tell you that he's a convicted felon.

[89th]

Hey at least he's not a racist! (yet)

News reporting should probably stick to the second as an objective fact. The first is more of an opinion.

[Mik]

I'd say Scott.

[LuFins Dad]

I wouldn’t be surprised by Vance.

[Copper]

@Mik said in My bet?:

I'd say Scott.

A black VP could change the balance of power for years.

Racist, I know.

But it would work.

[Mik]

@LuFins-Dad said in My bet?:

I wouldn’t be surprised by Vance.

I would be. Not enough experience.

[LuFins Dad]

Uhm, Trump?

[Horace]

Vance is my favorite of the list.

If I thought there was any ground to be made up culturally that would alter the tides of the race narrative, I might instead choose Scott. But it just wouldn't matter.

[George K]

@Horace said in My bet?:

Vance is my favorite of the list.

A ½ term junior senator from the Midwest?

Nah...
