Youngkin wasn't mentioned before, but I think he'd be a good VP pick.

Trump has 'sort of a pretty good idea' of VP pick, will probably announce during RNC convention

Former President Trump said he has "sort of a pretty good idea" of who his vice presidential running mate will be but will probably announce his selection during this summer's Republican National Convention.

Trump spoke with Fox News' Aishah Hasnie at the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Republican National Committee on Thursday following meetings with the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

He was asked if his pick was present at any of the meetings,

"Probably. I don't want to go, but I think (it) will probably get announced during the convention," Trump said. "During the convention. There were some good people and, we have some very good people."

The convention will be held from July 15-18 in Milwaukee. Trump said that Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, could be on the short list.

"And I think I could consider that," he said. "Yes. I haven't been asked that question, but he would be on that list."

 Trump says his VP pick ‘probably’ in the room during Congress GOP meetings
by Nick Robertson - 06/13/24 8:31 PM ET

Former President Trump said his vice president pick was “probably” in the room with him while meeting with House and Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill on Thursday, adding intrigue to the long-anticipated decision.

Trump told Fox News’s Aishah Hasnie that he’s still not sure who his vice-presidential candidate will be.

“I have sort of a pretty good idea,” he said. “Look, we have some pretty talented people. I have a pretty good idea.”

Trump’s Capitol Hill meetings mark the first time he has been back near the Capitol since the Jan. 6 riots, and the first time he has spoken with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in years. The pair have had a fraught relationship, exacerbated by Trump’s denial of the 2020 election results.

The meetings come as Republicans in both chambers begin to plot an ambitious agenda if he is reelected and they control the House and Senate.

McConnell told reporters after the meeting that it was “positive.”

If that happens, I'll throw up my hands and completely walk away from politics forever.

Need to do that anyway. I don't have all that much time left and I need to try and make sure my wife and I enjoy what time we have left.

Ivanka. I think she still lives in New York with Kushner, and it'd be totally on brand to have him keep it in the family.

He could keep it close to the family by picking Gavin Newsome's ex-wife.
Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution". These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing! - James Tiberius Kirk

Bigun opines:
"If that happens, I'll throw up my hands and completely walk away from politics forever.
Need to do that anyway."


This may be the last national election (and election for "state-wide" candidates such as governor, senator, House rep) that I take the time to vote in, as well.

Reason why:
It looks like Connecticut will soon adopt "ranked choice voting", which is designed to turn [Republican] winners into losers and [DCommunist] losers into winners.

There's a "working committee" or something along that line being assembled in Hartford, and my guess is that the leftist legislature will churn RCV out and the leftist governor will rubber-stamp it into law.

Not really much point in voting in this state after that, if one is "of the right".

Also, in my town, after many years of Republican rule (mayor), it finally "tipped to the left" with the election of a leftist mayor last time 'round. So trying to influence things by voting is probably a thing of the past locally, as well.

In some places, the voting booth simply doesn't work any more.
And the number of places where this is the case... is growing.
By leaps and bounds.
