I want Rand as Majority Leader. But he doesn’t add anything politically, although he is the most intellectually conservative choice
I want Rand as close to Trump as possible, in whatever capacity he can be most influential.

Why is no one mentioning Rand Paul?



Because a lot of us don't want to lose one of the few senators worth a shite.

Massie is pretty similar to Rand, and would his loss in the house would be less brutal. Massie would be my pick, but he doesn't help Trump gain votes, so it won't happen.

Governor “Hot Wheels” (although probably my favorite politician) will never hold an office higher than governor solely because he can’t walk.

There’s a reason why we had a president propped up with stints during the polio epidemic and never seen in a wheelchair

The MIC hates Tulsi maybe more than Trump. She would be pretty good assassination insurance. She's great on foreign interventions, the security state, and big tech. And the big upside is she might bring some crossovers. But, if you want a hardline conservative, I don't know why you even support Trump much in the first place.

No Rinos

I'd be down with Tulsi; though she'd need to come off her anti-gun stuff.


I can’t quite come to grips with “no Rinos” and then being ok with a full blown, albeit relatively moderate, Democrat. Is there a difference?

True. Tulsi is sus, especially on domestic policy and economics, but she’s better than a lot of the Republican names being thrown out. She’s unquestionably better than Nikki. Older or blue-pilled republicans think the “(R)” next to a politician is a safeguard. It’s not

There’s a reason Rand Paul has been running this Twitter campaign

I think (hope?) it's between gabbard, mace, scott and noem.

And from there make a splash with Scott or Gabbard.

Nah. I’m as Republican as it gets and I will not vote for a woman as President. There are millions more who think this exact same way and it would be a disaster for republicans to run a woman.

Trump can change residency to New York, New Jersey

and you think that’s likely given the legal climate at present in those states?

There is zero chance Trump subjects himself to NY law. And for good reason.

Hope not. She’s completely botched on her education system policy so far. I am not a fan of her as Governor, but maybe she would be a better POTUS

If you think Donald Trump is changing his residency to NY at this point, you know nothing about Donald Trump.

Why? Vivek does not bring Trump a single vote he doesn’t already have.

She’s a liberal socialist who just so happens to agree on the MIC and foreign policy. I have no idea why anyone thinks she’d be a good VPOTUS choice.

It will either be

Huckabee Sanders
Vivek
Noem
Carson


Regardless how much he may trust her, regardless how qualified, I can't see Huckabee. She does not have "it", and I think he'd rather have a newer face by his side (rather than a former press secretary).
