Trump’s VP: Ranking the candidates from most likely to least

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 12/02/23 4:01 PM ET

The Republican presidential primary calendar won’t officially kick off until the Jan. 15, 2024, Iowa caucuses, but former President Trump’s dominant position in the polls has already sparked chatter about who could join him on a general election ticket.

Trump is leading his primary rivals by an average of 60 percent at the national level and more than 20 percent in state surveys, creating a sense that the nomination is his to lose.

Some have started to look beyond the primary calendar and toward a rematch between Trump and President Biden, with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and others weighing in on who should join Trump on the GOP ballot.

Trump himself has offered fleeting insights into his view on a potential running mate. He told NBC’s Kristen Welker in a September interview that he liked the concept of picking a woman, “but we’re going to pick the best person.”

Here’s a look at some of the politicians seen as possible Trump running mates, ranked from most likely to less likely.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem

It's going to be Nikki Haley. And when it is, watch the MAGA crowd embrace this globalist neocon like she is the second coming. Why? Because MAGA is non-ideological. It is a cult.

[Maj. Bill Martin]

The only white male on that list, Mike Pompei, would be better than any of them, and a better President than han Trump.

But that's obviously not happening.

[LMAO]

We saw the same thing in 2016

MAGAs considered Goldman Sachs just a little bit better than Satan himself. Until Trump hired bankers from Goldman Sachs. Then they became one of the good guys.

I think it's too early to speculate until the DEMS announce who they're really going to run as I am very doubtful it will be Joe or Chuckles. 

For now, I'd like to see him pick Byron Donalds for the simple fact that he is very conservative and has made a very good Representative and in thinking towards the future in '28, I would vote for him for president.  My other choice would be Noem.

I believe for the vote he needs someone either Black or a female.

My overall hunch though is he would pick Haley.

I still stand by my prediction that Trump will not be the nominee.

[catfish1957]

I'll say with 90% certainty it will be Bitch Haley.

For anyone thinking this was a serious article, MTG made the ranking.   

[Fishrrman]

Where are the white men?
That is... someone who actually might be qualified to do the job, if Mr. Trump could not?

(aside: consider where this "list" came from...)

Haven’t you heard?

Yep. The same way I look at NeverTrumpers as irrational self-destructive ideological zealots.
As far as picking a White Man, Trump tried that with Pence (the Whitest guy in America) and he was a coward and a rat-fink.
In fact almost every White Man Trump hired viciously stabbed him in the back numerous times. The White man trope is over.

[Hoodat]

Trump will pick the person who gives him the most platitudes but doesn't overshadow him.  In other words, an incompetent brown-noser.  Someone like Ronna McDaniel.

Pence did the right thing as did Biden  when congressional Democrats protested the certification of Donald Trump’s win in 2017. I know that upsets MAGA. But would you be OK if Trump were to win in 2024 and Kamala Harris decided the election was rigged and refused to certify it? Both Biden and Pence did not want to set a bad precedent. That’s more important to me than soothing  Trump’s and his MAGAs butthurt

But . . . but . . . but that's different.

[LMAO]

If by some miracle Trump does win in 2024 I would be really curious to see what Kamala Harris does

She’s not very bright

   Omarosa checks all the boxes for Trump.

Silly Willy.  I thought you understood back room poltics better than that...... (1) Koch, Bush wing of the party goes all in last week for Nikki Haley (2)  That same faction basically controls the purse string of the RNC. (3) When Trump needs that funding, the level generously offered back will be contingent on adding her on the ticket as VPOTUS.

Is this a 100% certainty? Of course not, a lot can change between now and next summer. But from what I have seen how party politcs works before, this seems to be how its lining yp.

It really doesn't matter who Trump picks.  He could pick AOC to be his VP, and his sycophants here would be parroting to us what a brilliant move that was.  Trump can do no wrong.

You're thinking like a Unipartier @catfish1957   ----  and it's worthless.

I am not a uni-partier, and you damn well know that.  And you again as ususal deflected rather than giving a intelligent reason why you thought my point was wrong.

Trump has shown repeatedly that principles go out the window if there's a deal that makes him better off personally.  It's why he's supported RINO's for GOP Chair, etc..

Plus Orangey also realizes he has no chance to win without RNC financial backing.

Personally, my wish is the RNC gives him ZERO, and every dollar is applied toward House and Senate races.  That because obstructing the next dim POTUS is probably a better option for us than having this Trojan Horse anyway.

   Has anyone mentioned Ben Carson?

Honestly, just think what would happen if every Conservative and Moderate GOP member would turn on Tumpy in unison, and his ass is sent back to Trump Tower with his tail tucked between his legs.

He governs via insults and  intimidation..  Time to return the favor.
