 Trump claims would-be running mates ‘begging’ for spot on 2024 ticket
By Callie Patteson   
November 30, 2021 10:25am

While former President Donald Trump has yet to formally announce a 2024 White House bid, he’s already stoking speculation about potential running mates — all of whom, he claims, are “begging” to be on the ticket, according to a new report.

Politico, citing interviews with a dozen Trump advisers and associates, reported that the 45th president will largely choose his campaign sidekick based on two factors: unconditional loyalty, and support for Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen by the Democrats.

“They’ll have to denounce what happened in 2020,” former Trump campaign staffer Michael Caputo told the outlet. “If they don’t, they’re disqualified.”

The report suggests that unlike in 2016, when Trump tapped then-Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to be his running mate, the former president will not be bound in 2024 by considerations of ideological or geographic balance.

He won't get anyone worthwhile on this basis, and he will severely hamper his re-election bid and split the R party during an election by making a 2024 campaign a referendum on the 2020 election rather than a referendum on D governance.  This is just more of Trump's self-serving narcissist stupidity.

The election of 2024 is about the future of the country, not about Trump's past and his ego.  Rs are being dealt a very strong hand here; Trump is going to mis-play it.

This should be an alert to R primary voters to wake up, grow up, focus on defeating the Ds, and reject Trump as the 2024 nominee.

When Trump is the GOP nominee in 2024 will you vote for him?

If he is the nominee I will vote for him, and the nomination right now is his for the taking.  The country was clearly better off while he was POTUS than in the last 9 months, and the Ds will likely only make things worse.

But if he is the nominee and insists on making the election a referendum on 2020, he'll be squandering a strong hand.  He might even make it into a losing hand.  The country needs something much better.  It needs an R president who is not limited by overweening narcissism and a mania for presenting himself as always the winner.

So you don't believe that any politician is a narcissist and that all of them are serving for the public good?

Should he get the nomination in 2024, many of his supporters are banking on that things will get so bad under Biden that voters will overlook everything else and race to the polls to put him back in.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Barack Obama won reelection in 2012 yet lost 3 to 4 million  votes from 2008 with nearly 70% of the country saying the country was headed in the wrong direction
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

I think all of them have narcissism in them; most people do to one degree or another.  But Trump's narcissism is on a different level; it just about defines his character.  Allowing a public announcement that he will require absolute loyalty and public denouncement of the 2020 election makes this all about him, not about what the R party offers to the country.  Exactly how is the country made better by having the R running-mate publicly denounce the 2020 election?  Trump just demonstrates that he expects the R party to serve his personal interest, including his brand image as "winner."

As far as serving for the public good, all of them are corruptible, because they are human.  Some of them are fully corrupt.  The best we can do is somehow limit severely the authority of Government so that the natural corruption of those who work in it can do only limited harm.  Unfortunately the long history of the US is the consolidation of power by the Federal government at the expense of the states and of other institutions, so we've created the monster that now corrupts its own components and officials; I don't know how to reverse that.

I honestly think Trump is terrified of the life his grandkids will have if things don't change and no one else is willing to take the hits to make the changes, they are all to worried about their bank accounts and seniority.  Trump is the proverbial bull in a china closet and that is fine with me.

What has Trump ever said or done that convinces you that he is the only person "willing to take the hits to make the changes", and that everyone else is "worried about their bank accounts and seniority"?  You actually think that every other politician cares more about their own immediate power and money than about their own grandchildren?  Only Trump cares more for his grandchildren?

Are you serious?

Where do people get this idea that Trump has some kind of unique, one-of-a-kind virtue, that he is exempt from the venial weaknesses that are common in all the rest of humanity?  What did he do to demonstrate that?  Was it when he didn't go to Vietnam because of bone spurs?  Was it when he had a reality TV show that bolstered his ego and pretensions of authority by allowing him to say "YOU'RE FIRED"?  Was it his use of bankruptcy to protect and re-organize businesses?  Was it when he came out with a line of steaks?  Was it buying a golf course or operating a resort?

None of those things are bad.  But none of them demonstrate any reason to think that Trump is some kind of unique servant-hearted hero who will bear all the scourges and attacks and slings and arrows to redeem the country for all the rest of us.  I'm not saying Trump has never helped anyone else or never contributed to charity or that he cares nothing for the country.  I am saying that there is absolutely nothing in his past actions to suggest that he has any kind of unique patriotism or care for the country or that he is invulnerable to the same corruptions of ego and power that go along with Federal office.

No, he's not the only one. But so far, we haven't heard from the others. When we do, I'll be more than happy - overjoyed, even - to hear what they have to say. Do you have someone in mind who already has stepped up to the plate?

We are a troubled nation/state w/o the leadership of our Founders as our last 5 POTUS jackasses affirm.

of competent leadership will be remembered by plain people and rewarded for a long time.

We heard from 16 of them in 2016.  Some of those 16 I would never support - Jeb! for example - but we have heard from a number of others.

No one else has stepped up to the plate for 2024, and no one really can unless Trump announces that he will not run.  I'm on record here multiple times as a Cruz supporter.  I would also be happy to support DeSantis or Rand Paul.  Among less-likely names, perhaps more likely as VP running mates, I like Tim Scott, Mike Lee, Tom Cotton, Marsha Blackburn, Jim Jordan.  I don't know what former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is doing these days but I liked his candidacy in 2016 as well.  I wonder what John Kennedy of Louisiana might say on the presidential trail in 2024.

But I don't believe any of them are uniquely virtuous or patriotic or self-sacrificing or the only person willing to put their grandchildren over their money and "take the hits".

Trump was not good for the country.  His policies were. There are other republicans with some proding who could do the same.

If he is the nominee I will vote for him, and the nomination right now is his for the taking.  The country was clearly better off while he was POTUS than in the last 9 months, and the Ds will likely only make things worse.

But if he is the nominee and insists on making the election a referendum on 2020, he'll be squandering a strong hand.  He might even make it into a losing hand.  The country needs something much better.  It needs an R president who is not limited by overweening narcissism and a mania for presenting himself as always the winner.

How about YOU LEARN...that most of that is MEDIA....CLAIMING HE IS BRAGGING?  You buy right into it. This has gone on for DECADES.  MIKE WALLACE...father of SNOT NOSE,  Chris Wallace, interviewed him in the 80's, I believe.  MIKE kept badgering , the young TRUMP...to tell him, how much everything cost!  Young Trump did NOT want to say.  Finally, with the word games and badgering, young TRUMP finally told him, what something cost.  THE HEADLINE?  " TRUMP BRAGS ABOUT HIS HOLDINGS. "  It seems you can't discern certain words, the MEDIA puts out there. 


Letterman, Leno, Roseann Barr.  FIRST THING THEY WANT TO KNOW IS,  HOW MUCH DID SOMETHING COST?  Then he mocking, put downs, as most males have that 'king of the hill', syndrome.  You all butt your horns to be top dog.
THEY...have to put him down, to feel better about themselves.  Go back to old interviews. SAME CRAP, OVER AND OVER.


I loathe LETTERMAN.  Anyone care to listen?  TO RESEARCH?  TRUMP IS A VERY GOOD MAN. ALL ABOUT ENVY!

Should he get the nomination in 2024, many of his supporters are banking on that things will get so bad under Biden that voters will overlook everything else and race to the polls to put him back in.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Barack Obama won reelection in 2012 yet lost 3 to 4 million  votes from 2008 with nearly 70% of the country saying the country was headed in the wrong direction

Let's see:  Trump garnered 11 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016.  It's simply impossible to predict how high that 11 million's going to go in 2024.  What I'm looking forward to are the marches in the streets demanding Trump's second inauguration be moved to December 1.   :laugh:

He won't get anyone worthwhile on this basis, and he will severely hamper his re-election bid and split the R party during an election by making a 2024 campaign a referendum on the 2020 election rather than a referendum on D governance.  This is just more of Trump's self-serving narcissist stupidity.

The election of 2024 is about the future of the country, not about Trump's past and his ego.  Rs are being dealt a very strong hand here; Trump is going to mis-play it.

This should be an alert to R primary voters to wake up, grow up, focus on defeating the Ds, and reject Trump as the 2024 nominee.
