    Let's hear what DeSantis' advisors had to say...

    "Ron, there is a better chance of you being a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race than President of the United States".

    President Donald Trump has a deep bench as far as the VP slot is concerned. I would think Kristi Noem or Elise Stepanik would be good picks. Elise Stepanik fought the impeachment attempts against President Donald Trump so, you know she is a fighter. Kristi Noem is doing a fine job as Governor of South Dakota. I would not be surprised if either is picked by President Donald Trump for the VP slot.

    The thing is, imo at least, neither of those two will add any votes. They're maga's, and he has the maga vote locked already. He needs someone that can swing the independents that are on the fence about him. I don't think those two can do that.

    The thing about Nikki, and there is no denying this is going to be a huge issue with suburban women, if anyone can somewhat heal the wound of the Roe overturn, I just think she has the best chance. And make no mistake, that wound is not going to be an easy one to heal; if it can even be healed. You can bet the Dems will be playing that card all friggin' summer and into the fall, and it's gonna be a tough one for the Pubs to deal with. I think Nikki has the best chance of anyone out there. She has a very strong maternal presence about her, but also an air of toughness and intelligence.

    And Tree if you read this, I gotta laugh... and you know I'm not dissing you here... but you wanna talk about unqualified... Tulsi is the equivalent of a Mayor Pete. :D

    Nah the abortion thing is baked, Nikki Haley won’t help. That motivation just exists on the left.

    Trump knows he has to run up the score, not try to convert infidels. His best choice, imo, Tim Scott.

  10. I am guilty of some horsing around with the Tulsi topic and have never remotely put her up as a viable candidate or vp.

    Having said that, she has her value and in many ways is the opposite of Bootyboy. She is a dem-gone-antiBiden cannon rolling around on the deck of the ship. The crossovers, whether in the form of Bobby Kennedy, Dean Phillips, etc. are enormously valuable to have floating around in the political environment. Buttigieg, on the other hand, has always been and always be just one more dem hack who has not deviated from script one iota.

    And yes, Trump has to find a way to get votes beyond his maga base. That has always been so and is not in dispute. What is in dispute is who and how that can done. Since Trump will not lose his base he does have a chance to soften some things and reach out to suburban women etc. There is an art to that though. You cannot bring in someone such as Haley who is considered to be the moral and political equvalent of Mitt Romney. I mean you can, and maybe Trump will go off the reservation and do so, but it comes with a cost. You want to feel solidarity in your campaign and party the day after you appoint your nominee. Not have the beginning of infighting and republicans dissing the nominee.

    The other thing that has to be noted - Usual Tard with his slideshow probably is a better source- but one of the problems Biden has is that he is already losing more suburban women and the like, and minorities and the like. So Trump does not want to mess up anything that may be working too. Refer back to my comments about Maslows need hiercharchy. ie. these women are down on a lower rung now and are now looking for someone to preserve safety and security. Bottomline is that it comes down to how Trump handles the abortion issue. He has picked up a lot of suburban women on the safety and security concerns but they are still watching him like a hawk on the abortion issue. He can help himself bigtime there or hurt himself. His campaign not mine.

    Trump wants to preserve some kind of relationship with Melania, however distant it may be. Don't underestimate her role in picking a VP.
