SN 2024 VP Poll: Will pick, should pick

He’s going to pick Tim Scott

Seems like the yin and yang pick although cases can be made for Vance and Gabbard.

I'm pretty sure he's already ruled out Haley. And that's a good thing.

I don't know man...

I think if he did.... that his chances of winning the election increase tremendously!
In fact---I would say it would just about guarentee it.

Haley might not be "conservative or MAGA " enough for some republicans....but she would gain a ton of moderate Republican and Independent voters..

Hell...she might even get some Dems on board!

Gabbard could have the same affect...but not as large...

JD Vance

Vance would be an amazing choice. Articulate, smart, genuine, would be a great candidate in 2028. But the minority/woman factor is too much to ignore with very good candidates like Byron Donalds, Tim Scott, and Tulsi Gabbard.
 
Rubio or Scott. I’d make Gabbard Sec of Defense. Maybe even find a job for RFK Jr.
 
JD Vance would be my choice, mostly because he would be a great conservative candidate for 2028.

Trump has to pick someone with an eye towards 2028, so for me that rules out Gabbard. She would absolutely be the best choice for this campaign, I really like a lot about her. However, Gabbard is still a democrat at heart, and I would not want to vote for her in 2028. So Vance is my choice, but if identity politics is more important then I would go with Donalds, he is the most conservative minority I can think of that fits the bill. Scott just comes across as goofy, sorry.

If I could have absolutely everything I want: Gabbard would be the choice and destroy Kackling Kamala in the VP debate, probably send her home in tears. She would put an end to Ukraine funding and an experienced voice to guide foreign affairs with regards to potential military intervention. She would then be primary-ed by Vance/DeSantis/Donalds in 2028 (or maybe even leave the VP position during Trumps term for greener pasture, amicably).

I HATE the idea of moving the Republican Party in a more centrist direction. The Left will never stop moving further left, never. Moving the Republican Party towards the center only gives ground to enemies of civilization. We will eventually regret it.

IDK Stoney, I think Tulsi would be a logical pick and wouldn't hesitate to give her my vote in '28. The majority of the country, in my opinion, is looking to find someone more to the center politically. I think it would draw the socialists back as well, knowing they couldn't win pushing further to the left, only benefiting by condemning the far right. If it comes down to Tulsi or the used car salesman from Kalifornia, the choice would be an easy one for anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together. While the left may never stop moving left, there progression would be slowed when they can't win an election with that philosophy.

Tulsi gives Trump the best chance to win now, and that's all that really matters. You know the left will be working overtime to find any way to stay in power.
 
It won’t be Haley. She wasn’t even invited to the convention.

Donald would be a good pick and pick up some minority voters.

A name no one has mentioned but she is shark as a tack and feisty as well, would be the Lt Gov from SC Pamela Evette.
 
Vance would be great. I've seen him speak twice this year. Thing is you don't need him to win Ohio, neither do you need Rubio to win Florida but he'd help with Hispanic votes elsewhere. I'm thinking Scott, maybe Donald. Might lock up as much as 40% of the black vote.
 
I still think Tulsi is the smartest play but she needs to officially support the MAGA platform first so that 2028 isn't in doubt.
 
after that **** show last night, Vice President Trump can just pull someone out of one of his rallies.

Unless they think Florida is up for grabs, it isn't, I'm not sure what else Rubio brings to the table. He would also have to claim another state of residence. Add to that, the MSM already hates him and likely has a boatload of negative information ready to release.

Tulsi may not be MAGA enough for some, like Indy states, but she is smart and will make mincemeat out of kneepads. She would also bring in more moderate voters and cut in to the Dims strangle hold with women.

I am thinking Rubio would help with the Spanish vote. And he would be a good candidate in 2028 to carry on Trump policies

Which is why I'm kinda disheartened that Vivek is not listed. Even though he doesn't check every box for me (but then again, who does?), dude is hella-smart and can defend his position like a pro (imagine Vivek debating the Cackler... oh what fun that would be). And according to the following article, he has proposed some libertarian-leaning views/stances on some topics, mainly trade, that make a lot of sense.

Trump went to the Libertarian convention not long ago and promised to put a Libertarian on his cabinet (albeit, only if the party backed him), so that would draw many libertarian voters away from their party's ticket, which has Chase Oliver at the top, who I doubt will get even close to Gary Johnson's 2016 total of 3.3% of the vote.

I was thinking Winsome Sears might be in the running but I understand she was born in Jamaica....BFD...I think she'd kick *** and take names.

Little Marco is ineffective.
What has he done in the last 8 years?
AOC, dumb as she is, has far greater traction than little marco

True, but he doesn't need Rubio to win Florida either and Vance would be a better candidate for 2028.

True but Rubio can help with the Hispanic vote nationally. I’d still prefer Tim Scott.
 
I just heard on the radio that Vance has left home in a motorcade.
