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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Carson is a terrific MAN, and I think he would've been a great president.  Heck yes I'd love him as VP.

That is 1 good thing for Trump - Carson still stands behind him.  But then, my mom still stands behind a lazy, brown-nosing, duplicitous leech for her "cleaning lady".

Not many I would say this for, but I would vote for Rand Paul for president out of hand, without research. All in. Any time, against anyone. And as an aside, I like his libertarian strains - That's a feature (big surprise)  :beer:

However, I do not believe he has designs in that direction.

DeSantis ain't too far behind that, except in that I have already researched him quite a bit, and that will continue. He holds a place similar to where Cruz was with me;  albeit he (Cruz) has descended in my opinion, compared to the Halcyon days prior to 2016. DeSantis continues to impress.

More than that. His integrity has been tested to the point of his very life, right before our eyes, and remains intact. Don't worry about Paul. He will not move. What he is, he bloody well IS, and without a shred of pomposity. His convictions are sacrosanct, and in that, running solidly along Conservative lines... And willing, by the way, to buck (REALLY buck) against the media and his fellows as witnessed in the COVID debacle. That's a guy to measure by.

Ron Paul's signature is on my youngest son's birth certificate. He lived three doors down the street from me at that time and we have remained friends ever since. I would trust him with my life.

Rand was about eight years old when I left Lake Jackson so I can't say that I know him, but I strongly suspect that apples still don't fall far from the tree. I would surely vote for him.

Back in 2008, I stood outside a John McCain rally holding a sign that said "McCain Has Sold Us Out".  There was a sizeable contingency of Ron Paul supporters also protesting the event.  Although I wasn't in the Paul camp that year (I voted for him in 1988), I engaged in conversations with many of them, mostly young people.  And surprisingly, the one issue that all of them firmly embraced was pro-life.

I am remarkably comfortable among conservative libertarians (Paul's crowd) and even Classic Liberals. Often our differences are nothing more than a matter of emphasis... At least, that's so since my change of mind wrt drug enforcement - We still ain't together on that, them and me, but we are hella closer than we were... property seizures being the catalyst of my conversion on the issue.

And I think them a bellwether. The further 'conservatism' is from agreement with such, the further from its moorings it is. To the point that it can no longer be Conservatism.

Let's see .... @sneakypete since I won't be voting for Trump I'll admit to you that I am wrong IF Trump actually becomes president and takes a turn to the right. Otherwise, I'm not going to be the one needing to admit that I was wrong.

No, but I have no delusions that Trump can actually pull it off.  His only hope is that Biden truly does himself run.  That's the only glimmer of hope.

See, I know lots of people, easily half, are commie traitors.  And they really, really hate Trump (because he's openly an ass).  They'll be motivated.

I'm not deluded to think that more than half of Americans are even Republicans, much less true pure conservatives.

@the OlLine Rebel

You don't have to be a conservative to understand that the left must NOT continue to have control over America after the next election,or she will become a Communist police state,ran to benefit the rulers and enslave everyone else.

Electing  yet one more career politician that worked his way up the ranks of the alleged Republican Party of today is NOT the solution.

Assuming,of course,that the votes haven't already been counted and the "winner" waiting to be declared by"Globalism,Inc".

I am HOPING there are enough moderate Dims that realize this,and who are willing to vote for anyone BUT the DNC candidate to save us. Given all the foreign invaders welcomed into this country by  the left and set up with free everything and already registered to vote even if they don't know it,it seems unlikely that ANYONE other than the Dim candidate can win,but it is either the DNC gets defeated this time by a candidate and party that want to stop Globalism,or America as a nation of free and independent people is OVER.

You’re not getting the point.  Trump will not win.  So pinning all your hopes for “conservative” victory on him is foolish.

It’s like expecting Zippy Chippy will surely beat Seattle Slew.  Just because you like him better.  Doesn’t mean he has the ability.

"50% of the vote" does not win elections.

Fifty percent plus one of the Electoral College votes DOES.

The outcome of the presidential election of 2024 will be determined by the vote in 6-8 states.

The rest of the states... won't matter at all.

Can you name those states to which I'm referring?

I do believe that DeSantis will win IA -- then watch Trump have an absolute fit, accusations of DeSantis cheating, etc. (he's already laying that groundwork).

Should DeSantis take IA and Haley take NH (which I think she will), Trump will go bonkers. From there things will get interesting.

IF Trump should take IA, I look for DeSantis to drop out.  Purely speculation on my part.
