28. My wildcard bet is Glenn Youngkin

Republicans like to think Virginia is in play and Youngkin is going to be out of office in a year as Virginia doesn't allow for consecutive terms as governor.

Although it could be Burgum. Burgum is a billionaire and Trump needs his war chest. Won't be Rubio. That would open up too many credible legal challenges should the ticket win and Trump isn't going to ditch Mar-a-Lago as his primary residence with all of the various lawsuits that he's facing.

Maybe Vance. That would please his base but Trump has already secured their votes. And it would cost a senator. Sure, Ohio is a red state but so was Alabama.

I expect Trump's VP pick will be an effort to reach out to those voters he hasn't yet sealed the deal with. His base won't be thrilled but they won't change their votes and Trump knows this.

Wildcard bet #2: Nikki Haley.

Flynn is too much of a loose cannon, and probably not someone Ocelot II Jul 4 #6

Agreed. Besides, he's probably taller. scipan Jul 4 #11

He's not very tall, only 5'9". Ocelot II Jul 4 #14

Why does he seem so tall or is it just me? scipan Jul 4 #16

I'm sure trump is throwing names out to see which one gets white wingers barking. Flynn would be a good henchman. Silent Type Jul 4 #4

His VP shortlist has already been going around. orange jar Jul 4 #5

My wildcard bet is Glenn Youngkin Spencer Martin Jul 5 #28

I don't think Youngkin wants to be associated with TSF. flying_wahini Jul 7 #34

I could see Haley being asked because they need her 20% never TSF'rs. And white women. flying_wahini Jul 7 #36
