Choosing a black person isn’t going to move the needle a damn inch. They are locked in and bound by their eternal oath to the democrats. No hope for them.

The bigger concern with DeSantis IMO (and everyone in OP's list for that matter) is that he/they add absolutely zero voters to the ticket.



IMO he's not bringing anyone new to the table with a VP pick

But it may give cover to some who would like to vote Trump over fledgling Biden but need a nudge to get past peer pressure.

Byron or Tulsi (yeah, she's not a conservative through and through, but neither are 95% of the republicans).

But you can make a decent case he should put a female on the ticket. Both for the "what is a woman" era and because he's got a problem with suburban women.



I don't know who might excite that group enough to make a difference, though, and not turn off others?

Haley? She's just so meh to me.
Noem?

Which is a large part of why I do not think he has a chance of winning a general election. He, his advisors, and his closest supporters do not seem to understand that adding voters has to be the goal--not doubling down on the existing ones.

No one who was going to vote for Biden is going to vote for Trump because Byron Daniels, Steve Bannon, or Ron DeSantis are on the ticket.

I'd argue it may be the best way to get most all republican factions to the table, which, like it or not, will be necessary for anyone to have a chance to win.

The only people who don't consider Trump and DeSantis to be in the same GOP faction are this board and Never Trump K-Street types. There aren't enough of the latter to warrant electoral consideration.

The average person is the target audience, and Trump/DeSantis are hand in hand to them.

There's a lot of elected people in Washington who don't really. I recognize the sway they still hold, even if I don't necessarily like it.

Zion or Rogan?

I think Zion's too young, though, but I guess he's not really otherwise busy.

Right, and none of those people are relevant to the VP choice or getting midwestern/suburban white women to vote for Donald Trump.

That demographic sure as hell isn't voting Trump because Ron DeSantis is on the ticket.

There's no magic VP candidate getting THEIR vote. The disaster of the current administration will likely turn a lot of them, if you can show a republican ticket that looks like a reasonable alternative.

A.

B. would be the most capable and effective but the Libtards would be absolutely apoplectic if he were chosen.
