Just picking out thoughts about who tfg might choose as VP.
If you look at his choices there’s plenty of wannabes out there. But I’m sure tfg won’t pick people like Kari Lake. In tfg’s eyes she’s a loser. Herschel Walker he’s a loser. First he wouldn’t want to be associated with a loser. Then the fact they lost in their districts he doesn’t really gain anything.
Next of those who are in office now. His choice will be between whoever has backed him all the way through. He does have a memory for those who slighted him in the past. They would have to really suck up to clear that bar.
How much can he gain from picking so and so? A state politician would be lower than a U.S. congress member. A house member would be lower than a senator. A millionaire could make just on the funding issue. But kind of doubt one would want to give up what they have and the scrutiny they would receive.
Loyalty would always be priority. Who will be his cover? The person who would take a bullet for him. Who would be stupid enough to take the job after what he did Jan. 6?
Will he take the advice from Manafort like in 2016? Doubt that seriously. He knows he wants a VP that’s as crooked as he is. But also wants to trust they will be completely subservient to him.
In the end I’m pretty sure he won’t pick a sane person.
