With his children, they'd have to be careful to make sure they set up their states of residence right. It's a constitutional requirement that the president and the vp can't be from the same states. That's easily enough managed though.

I'm going to say Hawley though. I think he hits the right balance of what-Trumpkins-mistake-for-strength and proven loyalty.

I think Hawley has eyes on the top spot, but Trump could only serve one term and I think he wants a Trump dynasty...meaning family, unless they have no interest.

Oh, I'm sure he does have eyes on the top spot. But if he lost the presidential primary but was offered the vp spot on the ticket, I think he'd jump to accept. I don't think there's much to him beyond ambition.

I agree, Hawley, Cruz, Gaetz, hell even MTG would all jump at the chance.

It’s a stupid question since VP isn’t something you win.

I was going to say the same thing except it actually was the way the VP candidate was chosen....the first "loser" for Pres. nomination "won" the VP slot. Of course, this was quite a while back, but the precedent is there.
