You would have to be utterly nuts to want to be his VP. However the fact he can only serve one term makes it slightly more attractive.
Most of those running are career politicians. Being VEEP is the 2nd best political job in this country. Even with all the pitfalls of doing it under Trump its still appealing.
Seeing how the elections are so easily rigged now with these electronic voting machines, I have little faith in the voting process. Like it or not, but Trump still had the second most votes for a president in history, the democrats and deep state had to play it safe by pretending Biden won by 10 million more. And I seen the graph showing the stark upward shift for Biden in the middle of the night. You have to be deranged to believe that is legit.
A lesson on how voting machines work and the process of counting might help you understand.
WILLIAM O’REILLY: The GOP’s 2024 Presidential Field Needs To Be Cleared. It Should Begin With Ron DeSantis
The current storyline on the 2024 GOP presidential primary goes something like this: Former President Donald Trump is the prohibitive favorite; Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had a chance but blew it, and everyone else in the race is an also-ran — former Vice President Mike Pence, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
There are other candidates in the mix, of course, like well-spoken tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy — this cycle’s Andrew Yang — but the names above, including Ramaswamy’s, are the ones that have qualified for the Aug. 23 debate in Milwaukee so far, the first of the 2024 GOP primary.
Political narratives aren’t worth much this far out from an election, but two things strike this observer as particularly true. Donald Trump is, indeed, the overwhelming primary favorite. Poll after poll makes that obvious. And Ron DeSantis has effectively blown it.
Former President Trump teased on Monday that the first Republican presidential primary debate might help him narrow down his choices for a vice presidential running mate.
Except for Christie and Hutchinson, Donald Trump’s primary rivals are running for Vice President, not President.
That's an important point, Tillman. It seems much truer now - than when I read about how this would have played out decades ago - that people seem to run with no hope of being president, but in the hope of being tapped for VP or other important post. Or maybe even just to get the public attention for name recognition for any future runs. A number of people are convinced that even when Trump first ran, he privately never dreamed he'd win, but figured it would be good for his "brand."
