I don't give a chit that she voted against Paul Ryan tax cuts, but yea she's historically been trash on the most important issue.

I am not sure why so many people think that his VP should be a woman. It's really not going to matter, Blumpf or any other Republican is going to be raked over the coals by the media regardless of whether they pick a woman or not. It will be a little bit of "extra" ammunition against them if they don't pick a woman I guess, but it will amount to nothing compared to what else the media is going to hit them with. I don't see it moving the needle.

Stefanik is a strange case because she entered politics as a Dubya Bush aligned Neocon, worked for Romney and sold herself as a “moderate Republican.” Then after January 6th she suddenly became a MAGA conservative. I don’t buy it.

She’s been aligning herself with Trump for a couple years. He needs to be weary of these opportunists who are actively running for VP. I honestly think he should pick someone with less energy, less of a personality who is simply loyal and authentic to the cause of America First. There aren’t too many options out there. Maybe Ben Carson or Lee Zeldin.

Why’s he need to be weary this time around?

His best option out of people we already think could be picks is probably Vivek. He's young, shares the platform, charismatic, solid in a debate, etc. I still think he's borderline fraudin but no one else is better. And Carson is a complete dud. I can't even believe he's a potential pick.

Ramaswampy the fraud has zero appeal outside of hardcore Blumpfies. He would actually drag Blumpf down in the suburbs and swing states even more.

I don't think Ramaswamy is a fraud, but I agree with your general sentiment. the swing vote is white suburban women in the swing states, middle class soccer moms, etc. Vivek does not help there at all. They are not interested in any sort of intellectual appeal, they want tofeel goodabout who they are voting for. at some point Republicans will figure this out. At some point.

I believe that VP pick does not really move the needle that much, but in the case of Ramaswampy, he comes off as such a tech bro douche that it'll turn off suburban women in droves. They're already turned off by Blumpf, and Swampy will just make it even worse.

The pickings are definitely slim when it comes to VP, though.

No point to picking a woman for the sake of picking a woman. Women that are swayed by "we need a woman in charge" are already voting for Biden. Maybe it would have worked had Biden not already picked the first (and worst) woman VP last time around.

What voters is Ramaswamy going to attract that aren't already planning on voting for Trump?

Trump needs to pick someone more "moderate" for the VP. Trump's already on the ticket, he doesn't need a "Trump lite" VP.

VP doesn't gain much votes but it has potential to lose a lot of votes if it's a wrong choice (like Randhawa). Safe choices are Vivek, Tucker or Kristi Noem.. Even Byron Donalds or Ben Carson will do ok. These people are not going to move the needle much in Trump's favor but they certainly won't lose votes. The VP pick for 2024 is essentially a preparation for 2028 since Trump only have 1 term left. Hence I don't like Byron Donalds or Ben Carson or Tucker to be picked as VP.

Most people I know say this is the pick.

Removing my personal judgements on the ticket, I think this is a bad move. The plan is to appeal to suburban women. Imo, they will see through this and the herd will smell centrism. Any move that Trump makes to actually play ball in politics will erode his base, people want a chaos candidate.

No such thing as half-way crooks.

Drumpf is always trying to play the fence.

This post is spot on, but the hardcore Drumpfers will spin it to expanding the tent nonsense.

They can’t have it both ways. This whole thing is going to be a train wreck. Can’t wait to watch it all unfold.

I dunno, I think some traditional Republican voters who don't like Trump could potentially be swayed to vote for him by a more moderate VP pick. Whereas I don't think Trump's core voters would be negatively swayed by a more moderate VP pick.

Therefore, I think Trump should be picking someone who can broaden his appeal beyond his core supporters to try to attract moderates/independents. Since that will help him win. I don't see the point in picking Tucker or Vivek - neither of them will help to attract any additional voters - people who like them are the same as people who like Trump.

I'd point out a few things. Speaking as someone who doesn't have insider info of course.

She became an AIPAC rockstar with that court hearing, which was a legit hit job, but let's put that aside for a second. She's the Israeli lobby's wet dream, so they probably wrangled up their wagons and told Trump they'll give him absolutely absurd amounts of money if he picks her. I legitimately don't think he cares at all who it is, but he does care about money.
