I figured Rubio or the ND governor.  Instead they were the first two knocked out.  I don't really get the pick, feels like the Venn diagram of their appeal is a circle, which is the opposite of what you typically look for in a VP
there are complications with them both being from the same state but those could be solved, at the end of the day I think Marco Rubio is a nothing lightweight. doesn't bring much of anything to the table. 

thought he would pick Youngkin the governor from Virginia who is very popular there and who could perhaps deliver him Virginia or that he'd pick someone that was an independent to try and sway independent voters.

Vance was a never Trumper who bent the knee. That's catnip for Trump.

Exactly.

Tulsi was my choice.

JD Vance. Wow.
I’m deeply unsurprised.

Trump fumbled the bag a little bit imo. Tulsi Gabbard would've been the home run pick imo.

Would also be funny to see her destroy Kamalalala "what can be unburdened by what has been, you didn't fall out of a coconut tree" Harris in the VP debate like she did in the Democratic primaries.

Tulsi is from Hawaii. She may have fallen out of a coconut tree.

Well, if you listen to what Don Jr said last week (or maybe a few days before), DJT couldn't pick anyone credible, because the Republicans in Congress would impeach him simply to move the VP into POTUS' office. 

I don't know why Don Jr wanted to get it out there, before the pick, that his recommendation was to pick a very weak VP simply to ensure he's no threat to Daddy, but that's what he did. 

https://www.newsweek.com/trump-junior-warns-rubio-rino-risk-1922635


Quote
Speaking on his podcast Triggered, Trump Jr. speculated that if his father picked Rubio as his running mate, "RINOs"—or Republicans in Name Only, a term Trump frequently uses to describe disloyal GOP members—in the Senate would vote with Democrats to impeach Trump for Rubio to become President.

"I have a good relationship with Marco, but there's some truth about having someone that's a little more establishment in there. It's like, wouldn't the Senate RINOS, wouldn't they love that?

"By the time my father's hand moves off the Bible in the swearing-in process, the second it moves off, it would be like, 'Impeachment!'" he said. "There's something about having someone outside the establishment to sort of further protect you from that establishment."

don't think that pick helps Trump at all. he was always going to carry Ohio anyway and any milktoast run of the mill Republican was going to vote for Trump regardless of having JD Vance on his ticket.

Bobby Kennedy Jr or Tulsi Gabbard  definitely would've been better choices at swaying independents or even picking off a few Democrats out there that aren't full blown Ukraine flag waving BlueNoMatter Who BlueAnon ShitLib DEI loving LBGHDTVQRETARD+ "allies" with literal shit-for-brains and TDS.
If he could have landed RFK Jr., that would be a home run.  I assume the tires were kicked there.  If not, that's a bigger failure than his SS detail

Trump is 78, and not in great health.  I can't imagine the donors would be happy about Tulsi being Trump's heart away from being President.  That's why I thought it would be Rubio or the ND governor.  The Vance pick tells me the money knows he can be controlled.

So, cabinet choices.

Who's the SoS? Could that be Tulsi? I love that she is anti-war.

I don't see her in that type of role.  A generation ago, she would be VP gold.  Instead both sides view her as too moderate in a deeply partisan nation

I thought about that, but Trump is very healthy. Even with a new ear piercing.

That needs to be fixed. She could help. Manchin too. I really like him.

Trump did not need anyone to help him get elected.  That would have been a wasted pick. Trump chose someone that in his opinion is very strong in his convictions with a hugh will to fight for his beliefs.

I like JD Vance and am very happy with the choice.
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.
