REPORT: Top Trump VP Candidate Removed From Consideration: ‘No Shot’
Mark Steffen
April 30, 2024
It was the shot heard ’round the world of politics and one that killed the chances of a candidate previously on the shortlist to join the ticket of former President Donald Trump.
Sources close to the former president who spoke with the New York Post said there is dismay and disappointment in their camp after learning that North Dakota Governor Kristi Noem included a story about killing a puppy in her new memoir, “No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward.” The inclusion has sealed her fate, at least for the 2024 elections. “She was already unlikely to be picked as VP, but had a shot,” said a source close to Trump. “After this, it’s just impossible.”
In her book, Gov. Noem leans into the theme of tough choices growing up and living in rural America. The story of Cricket, a 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, involves the Republican’s decision to shoot the puppy in a gravel pit after it killed one of her neighbor’s chickens. Noem wrote that the pup’s “aggressive personality” made him “untrainable” as a hunting dog.
Another ally of Trump compared the fiasco to one surrounding Mitt Romney in 2012 when he was skewered for sharing a story about how he put the family dog in a crate on the roof of his car during family trips.

Noem was never a contender. *****rollingeyes*****
All this dog story means is those so inclined will need to find some other way to disparage Donald Trump.

It's simply low-grade 'kibble' to put in front of the Never Trumpers.
