Another helpful, modest proposal...

[Onlyserious]

Despite my reservations as to whether Herschel Walker has the qualifications of the Republican candidate to be the junior senator from Georgia, and if he’d be “up to the job,” I’d like to suggest another path…

Regardless as to whether he is elected or not, it seem clear that he would be the perfect candidate to fill out the Donald Trump 2024 presidential ticket. Obviously, Mr. Walker will walk behind Mr. Trump at a respectful distance, he’d know to never up-stage the top of the ticket, and he already appreciates Trumpian transactional loyalty above all.

Mr. Walker seems perfectly capable of reading Republican campaign points off a teleprompter that werewolfs are preferred to vampires (though “vampires are cool people”). Practical considerations suggest that it’s a good idea for the candidate to settle on how many kids he’s fathered, deny funding abortions (despite receipts), and continue lying about academic credentials. Bring on the fake badges!

Imagine Herschel ramping up a MAGA crowd with "… our good air decided to float over to China's bad air, so when China gets our good air, their bad air got to move… so it moves over to our good air space…” He’ll then go on to claim everything bad that happens is Joe Biden’s fault and the solution to inflation, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and renewed Covid outbreaks all converge at Hunter’s laptop. Wow! He’d have the crowd in a frenzy for the Big Man!
Trump/Walker 2024! That’s the ticket!

1. Don't laugh.

2. Sorry, Trump will be busy as Ye's VP

I love the gaslighting. After causing an amazing uproar, Ye let’s slide that he invited Trump to be his VP.

3. My prediction: TFG will choose Kari Lake as a running mate

Because in his eyes this would:

1) Give him a sporting chance at getting AZ back

2) Let him claim he's not anti-woman

3) Keep his election-denying base happy



Of course whether or not points 1 & 2 are true is completely up for argument

6. What about MTG? She wants the job and has been auditioning for it.

But Trump likes women who look a certain way.
Kari has that going for her.

[MissMillie]

7. I think if the GOP maintains control of the House

The GOP will want her to stay in the House. Her anger-tainment tactics raise a lot of money, and if she has some sort of power in the house, she'd be a fundraising powerhouse--getting money not only from her district, but from all over the country.

(Unless of course she ends up doing (or being involved in) something completely stupid and scandalous, which is entirely possible.)

[Irish_Dem]

8. MTG doesn't care at all what others want from her.

She has her own agenda.

MTG truly believes she is headed for the White House.
And Trump is her ticket.

At least for now. She will discard him in a minute if there is another way to power.

MTG appears scandal proof. Drugs, sexual scandals, messy divorce.
No one seems to mind her behavior at all.

I wonder how a freshman congress member got so much power so quickly.
???

[MissMillie]

10. Well, typically a candidate for VP doesn't pick the top of the ticket

It's TFG's pick to make. So what MTG wants would appear to be besides the point.

And MTG appears scandal-proof in her district, not nation-wide. In a position of power in the House, she would raise tons of money from GOPers for GOP candidates.


My prediction is dependent about TFG thinking things through somewhat rationally (LOL),

But other factors come into play as well, such whether "purple" states (such as AZ and GA) continue their tend towards "blue" or not.

[Irish_Dem]

11. MTG has been love bombing Trump and Melania in public and private.

She is manipulating him in every way possible.

We know that Trump is quite easily manipulated.

Yes we certainly cannot predict TFG's future behavior based on rational thought.
We must base it on his psychopathology.

[MissMillie]

12. Oh, I'm aware of MTG's antics

But I also think that TFG could be persuaded to leave her right where she is, because of her value to the GOP in the House.

I'm also considering that while MTG is fiercely loyal to TFG, TFG is loyal to no one--he'd roll over anyone who got in his way.

And I think Kari Lake brings everything a MTG does to the GOP presidential ticket--maybe more.

[Irish_Dem]

13. I agree, Kari Lake is more the kind of woman Trump likes.

She is the one he would probably choose.

And he could be manipulated by members of the GOP to dump MTG.

5. Walker might take away too much attention from Trump.

Trump hates it when people get more air time than he does.

Also Walker may not be docile enough for Trump who prefers the Pence model.

But I hear you, Walker is on the list of possible VPs, I agree.

9. Herschel Walker should ask Donald Trump to be his running mate

should he lose on Tuesday


WALKER - TRUMP 2024 !!!


Trump's football career is well known - very capable player
