Trump picks his VP today.
Marco Rubio is out.
Doug Burgum is out.
Nikki Haley is out.
So will it be someone that no one was guessing or JD Vance?
Edit: CNN says it is JD Vance.

I'm afraid it will JD Vance. I was just listening to CNN on the way back to the office. They were saying Trump is picking someone who will carry on the MAGA Republican party. JD would be the one that would do that.

JD would be the one that would do that. I heard that as well. But Vance has been really critical of Trump. Like, calling him America's Hitler. So would Trump want someone that wasn't a head-over-heels fan? I dont know. |

He started this and it will continue on. To hell with who it is. But that is my sane brain thinking. And now reading upthread that he has left in a motorcade almosts cements the deal. In lucyg's infamous words, we are definitely doomed! |

One can always hope that this VP pick falls away into the background like Pence did.

It will be tricky for his VP to not fall into the background. Trump won't want anyone outdoing/outshining him. I feel he needs all eyes on him. |

Vance is a soulless opportunist. He doesn't care if Trump IS America's Hitler, as long as he (Vance) can have part of the power pie.
And when it's time to do illegal, unconstitutional things like fail to certify a free and fair election, Vance, unlike Pence, will do as dear leader tells him.

This choice is also, obviously, a play to sew up Ohio in the electoral college.

I dont know much about Vance so I was just reading about his personal life. His wife was a clerk for Justice Roberts and Kavanaugh at one point.

Well the fine folks of Tik Tok tell me that it will be JFK Jr. I am sorry if I spoiled it for you I listened to The Good Liars interview a woman who was just sparkling with excitement to announce that the VP would be JFK jr and he had been in witness protection for all these years plotting for his reappearance. It was hilarious. |

So yes. But such a low bar. |

I figured that out of the front runners, it was Vance just because he's white and he's the prettiest. I'm dead serious.
