Trump "said" he knows who his running mate will be


In other words, Trump has not one fucking clue who his running mate will be. :rolleyes:

He’s not going to announce now and miss out on all the sweet, sweet ass-kissing and he can’t take the chance that any also-rans will turn against him. It wouldn’t surprise me if he didn’t even pick one during the convention. I’m sure he thinks he is the only important part of the ticket and that a VP is just a yes-man/woman ball licker he can add at any time.

Trump has two paths to picking a running mate:

Reinforcer/Base Appeal:
Jason Aldean, Bernie Kerik, MTG, Palin
Or
Appeal to Independents/Low-Info Voters:
Haley, Tim Scott, Kristi Noem


Aldean would help him with the base, and also with LIV.

Jason Aldean!?!?! ... Are you fucking kidding me.. Aldean would help him with "LIV" wtf is that? The LIV golf league? lol!

LIV: Low Information Voters, people who don't tune into news like we do on a regular basis, people who know celebrities...

Aldean is a MAGA twit, and he would probably peel some Independents to Trump's side.

Why doesn't Donnie TwoScoops just ask Boomer Esiason? Or maybe Michael Jordan for the black men and middle class white men votes?

Right leaning Americans need to face reality; Trump is ineligible to run and anyone with even a shred of honesty knows it. Better to get behind someone who isn't a disgrace to the country, but magats are welcome to stay on that short bus as it collides with a dumpster fire, I guess.

But in some hypothetical, where that dipshit traitor didn't exclude himself via the 14th amendment - he'd need another evangelical chaperon, no? The last one almost got killed disobeying Mango Mussolini, isn't interested in a repeat.

Sounds like a job for Kirk Cameron or similar culty nutjob.

Lol! ... I'll reply but I have a feeling this is a troll post or a foreigner enamored/obsessed with the west's celebrity culture and the views on politics they have.

First of all Aldean would never accept the VP nod because I'm sure even he knows he's completely unqualified for VP and second in line for President if a clearly unhealthy Trump kicks the bucket. And, secondly Trump would lose votes if he made such a stupid fucking nomination for VP. Trump is clearly not that popular, and even if he did nominate a knucklehead like Aldean as his running mate, the votes he would get are nominal to a non-factor. Trumps nutty base is small and all ready in the bag. He could dig up Ivana and prop her up next to him as his running mate and they would still vote for him.

For the last time, I was born here. I am an American.

Secondly, VPs don't always have to be qualified. That person has to be loyal to the No. 1 and have to get a voting bloc.

Someone like former Chicago Police Commissioner Garry McCarthy would be a experienced pick, he worked in inner cities and white towns alike.

If Trump goes the celebrity route, he should consider Boomer Esiason or Cal Ripken Jr. Esiason has supported Trump in the past, has a radio show and is not stupid, is a good speaker and could appeal to LIV voters.

Ripken as well. Ripken would help Trump the most because he is not controversial.

Tom Glavine, another Trump supporter would be good too.

Republican voters are tired of establishment lawyers and businessmen who are not articulating an aggressive agenda. Glavine, Kerik, etc. fit the bill.

I don't know, man. I'm kind of jaded with fascism and white supremacy, sorta too tame for me. I want somebody willing to bring on Armageddon, baby, because God is on our side.

Trump can't go full MAGA with his pick either, the only acceptable choice out of that is Stefanik or Gen. AJ Tata

As close as he can publicly admit, I guess, to wanting to a full mega Kool-Aid pact. Can't let the rubes know, I guess. We're not suppose to talk openly about our death wishes, I guess.

And you did not disappoint.

"...is not stupid" isn't a good metric when it's being claimed by you.

what is this "we"?

you don't read news. You post word priorities and hit the bullet points from your handlers' monthly lists. You have a fucking quota to fulfill your very important mission. It's why you are laser focused on only two things with your account:

1: Trump threads
2: Promoting racial animosity

This is all your account is dedicated to, and it's fucking unmistakable from the time that you started posting here back in the early fall or summer. You have one purpose here, Vatnik, and that is to stay off the front lines and keep pushing that NKVD election operation for your people in St Pete's.

Fuck off, bitch.

Jocko is a tough man, he represents American masculinity, which appeals to a lot of men, and he would appeal to a lot of Independent male voters.
And which of these qualities would make VP Harris not enjoy debating him? He'd be too busy pounding his chest like Tarzan for there to be a meaningful discussion?

She would be intimidated by his physique, he will play the alpha male guy....and male Independent voters would eat it up, but it would be a draw. Jocko looks like a leader. He's what every male, black, white, Latino, biracial, whatever, should look like.
