Trump VP Options

Trumps biggest need is to make a dent in white women voters (rural), and to cement gains in the Hispanic & Black voter base.
1. Lee Zeldin (best option imo)
Trump voiced a desire to make New York competitive. This may seem like a longshot politically, but Zeldin is widely popular (even among blacks/hispanics) and came close to becoming governor last election. Zeldin is “not too charismatic” (Trump will not pick a charismatic male) but has demonstrated a strong grassroot campaign ability. (Not to mention he balances out the ticket)
- Biggest Question is whether he can drum up support in states like Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Michigan etc.
Safest pick
2. Kristie Noem
- Relatively unknown, but her extra curricular activities may hurt image. She will go a long way to cure the fears of white rural women voters.
3. Tulsi Gabbard (Unity ticket)
If Trump wants to play a “unite the country” role, she’s the best option. Doesn’t hurt that she checks off diversity boxes (for those that care) and she’s relatively flexible on policy. Question is, can she be counted on to advocate for conservative ideas? (Open tent party??)
4.Tim Scott
This arguably hurts the ticket. Tim is not an effective debater, but if Trump needs a “punching bag” Tim is the best option. He’s the epitome of a yes man, but does not add anything of value to the ticket.

I am a strong proponent of Wesley Hunt.
I like Kristi Noem as well.
Not a big fan of Tim Scott. Tulsi on the ticket is interesting to me.

VP is not going to get anyone over the hump, therefore he needs the best qualified. This would be the list:
Vivek
Carson
Paul
Vivek
Carson
Paul

I hope that it's -
#1 - Sarah Huckabee Sanders
or
#2 - Byron Donalds
But, I would not be surprised if he selects Elise
Stefanik or Lee Zeldin.
Lord have mercy, I hope it's not Gabbard ..

I’d pick Youngkin.
Swing state.
More from the middle, but it doesn’t matter for policy because he’s a figurehead.
Solid conservative leadership behind him in VA so there isn’t a big hole left.
If not him, let’s play identity politics. John James from Michigan.

Never too early for the establishment to try and select the VP, even if they failed to select the primary winner.

The obsession with Carson is bizarre. Do you think you’re going to trick black voters into thinking he’s “one of theirs”? I’m sure he’s a nice guy but he’s a dud. The only Republicans who like him are the ones who are trying to prove to the left they’re not racist.
“Let’s see them call Trump racist if Carson is on the ticket! Libs heads will explode!!!”
You’ve learned literally nothing in the past 2 decades

Give me Carson

Going with a dem on the ticket would be a huge mistake

Enjoy your analysis.
Personally I’d want Vivek, Tucker then the rest of the field

No Rinos
I'd be down with Tulsi; though she'd need to come off her anti-gun stuff.
Noem is a Rino
