Trump walks to the beat of a different drummer so he could very likely pick a person that is on no one’s radar. Going by typical political logic, assuming that a VP pick might bring 0.5%-1% votes, who should it be? A half to one percent is not much but in a potentially razor thin election, a couple of thousand votes in a state could decide the presidency. Biden won AZ by just over 10,000 votes. The most recent Beaumont mayoral election, where almost no one votes, had over 15,000 votes cast. In GA it was 12,000 votes and Biden did not even get 50%. In WI it was 20,000 and again Biden didn’t get to 50%. There are other states in that area of percent point difference. How important? If any two AZ, GA and WI flip, Trump would have won. So while the VP probably never matters…. can it this time? I think that it could. What then does the VP pick bring to the table? FL and SC were both won by Trump in 2020 so a favored son vote for Rubio or Scott won’t help Trump. Both are in a fairly comfortable position within the conservative community so they will neither hurt nor help with strong conservative voters. What about the few fence riders that could and likely will determine the election by either sticking with Biden or switching from the last election? What about the people who did not vote in the last election, but may come out to vote in this one just to support the VP candidate? Could Scott sway a percentage point or two from Black support? Could Rubio help draw a percentage point or two of Hispanic support? Possibly on both counts. Like I already mentioned, they won’t help in their own states because Trump already won those in 2020. I personally think that either would actually do a good job as president (although VP picks are about the politics of being elected and not the “best” possible president) and might be the difference in a few votes but a few votes more is all that is needed. Or…. My outlier, Tulsi Gabbard. She had some decent support when are ran for the presidency in the Democrat primary. Could some people follow her because they support her and not necessarily the party? I’m sure that’s true for all candidates. Could she bring female support? As a strong mentally and physically person and a member of the military who was deployed into a combat zone into Iraq. Then she went to OCS and became an officer, then deployed to Kuwait. Can that military history, including deployment into a war swing some votes? As of late, she has been on a one person tirade against Biden and the Democrats. Let’s remember that Ronald Reagan was a Democrat and so was Texas governor John Connally. Connally was not only a Democrat governor in Texas but also Secretary of the Navy under JFK. Both ended up switching to the Republican Party so there is a fairly strong history of former Democrats switching parties and being successful, all the way up to the presidency. Gabbard is a pretty fiery campaigner and doesn’t mince her words. She would really be a thorn in the Democrats’ hopes and has the inside knowledge of the party. Could she potentially swing more votes than Scott or Rubio? I think so. But…. I don’t think that Trump would pick her and I’m not sure that she would accept if offered. Her odds of being Trump's pick are at about 1%. Scott or Rubio at about 10%. Trump being Trump, will choose someone who no one has ever heard of. Separation Scientist 1 Quote

I just find it really hard to believe that Trump will select a VP based on the votes they bring him. He's going to want a Trumper that will affirm his every move and stoke his ego. I'm hoping I'm wrong, but I doubt it. And as you said, in these battle ground states a few tenths of a % point may be enough to swing the whole election. Trump can't afford a VP who will cost him votes (Noem would cost him full points, not just tenths), but also needs a candidate that will bring in as many votes as possible. So hopefully whichever Trump disciple he chooses has some political appeal to swing voters. Quote

Exactly... the only reason he's not still the President is because Mike Pence wouldn't throw up the rightful electors and instead recognize the fake, replacement electors. I mean, at least until they had time to find the real proof of election fraud, lol. It's 100000000% going to be somebody who is Trump first, Trump second, and Trump third... No regard for country, God, party, family or any other thing except Trump. The people who might drum up some votes for Trump would be the ones who are an alternative to Trump. But Trump wants a clone. I completely expect it to be Marjorie Taylor Greene, or maybe the Pillow Man. LumRaiderFan and Big girl 2 Quote

Separation Scientist Posted May 15 Report Posted May 15 I don't think TG is as liberal as is thought to be. But 4 years ago, yes, I would agree. Now she continues to trend right for sure. Trumps in great health. The VP who could bring crossover votes would be highly prized, and TG might never actually ascend to the Presidency. bullets13 1 Quote

Nominate the only person who’s proven to be unable to beat Biden, then hope and pray he selects a vp that will turn things around and get him elected this time? Sounds like a winning plan, lol. Kinda like nominating someone who has 0% chance of winning the popular vote (you know… who most people like well enough to actually vote for) in favor of a pig who most voters hate, in hopes he can somehow win a plurality of electoral college votes. We need another Reagan who can rake in 500+ electoral college votes… but y’all wouldn’t vote for that person because he/she most likely wouldn’t also be a rapist piece of who bangs porn stars instead of his nude model wife, Praise the Lord!

That’s how we ended up with reality tv show host with a bad combover who proudly boasted about sexually assaulting women who subsequently ran the country into a ditch before losing his bid for re-election, after which he led a failed insurrection, got impeached a couple of times, indicted a few dozen times and lost civil case after civil case, up to an including one for rape. I mean, certainly the Godly people on the right would go find someone else to lead them after all of that, right? Quote
