Word on the street is Trump is considering Little Marco Rubio for VP.
Can't wait til the old videos begin to drop.

2024 U.S. Elections | Trump wins
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
Most of them are Republican and were going to vote for him anyway. Although given his performance in the FL primary the other day, one never knows.
Rubio would be good, for dems, Florida is going republican anyway, so Trump getting a few extra points there doesn't matter.
Not really, Rubio is relatively sane, Dems would gain far more if Bobo or MTG were his VP choice

Forget the politics and left and right. The choice at the moment our American friends have is a narcissistic fraudster and an old man with early onset dementia. Why should we worry?
Rubio would be a smart pick for Trump unfortunately, that would help him even further with cubans and latinos. Would probably be upsetting for some of his base to see him pick an establishment politician though.
I think picking Rubio would help Trump among non-Cuban hispanics more. Trump is already polling well ahead of where he was with them in 2020, and Rubio, who speaks Spanish and could do ads directly to them, would only help him with what is one of the fastest growing demographics.
Thanks, that’s the article I saw too, just too lazy to go find it.
Trump’s rhetoric of “immigrants are poisoning our blood” does not seem to be resonating with actual immigrants and second generations. I think the black vote in the swing states will decide things. It’s a shame Kamala Harris is so unpopular because she does have a great story.
I don't think Rubio really appeals to anyone that much, outside Florida.
Yes, could we worse with someone like MTG, but he is not the optimal choice for Trump imo.

While Rubio does make a bit of sense. Trump will also want a full asskisser this time as well. He wont want someone that will pull a Pence when he wants someone to bend the law or break it. Lesson learned from the first time he will want a full on MAGA purity test this time.
Yes. Which is why I think Tim Scott and Ben Carson are in the pole position at the moment.
This. Rubio will only motivate Latinos living in SE Florida which he basically has already. Don't see him catching on with other Latino diasporas in the US.
Those aren't options, though.
Rubio will not be the VP. Just with the videos of how they made fun of each other and criticized in the 2015 primaries would be bonkers. And I agree that Trump this time will pick a 100% MAGAbonkers. I hope is MTG or Beetlejuice groper
Why?
They're insignificant. Trump can find people who are just as Trumpy, but actually matter.
He appeals to suits at department stores but they don't vote and are as empty as Rubio.
And who might they be? Certainly he can find Trumpy but actually matter??
He owns the entire Republican Party at this point, so there has to be some senator or governor out there who would do the job.
Oh, I thought you meant it was not possible. Just you don't see them as good options.
But but but...I would really love it. Imagine any of the 2 upholding the second most prestigious position office in US (yeah, I know about trump...But just imagine BoBo of MTG meeting other world leaders
)Most of them aren't going to be interested

Oh yeah for sure, it's possible. It would be amazing, if not for the fact that he might just win, and then possibly die from a hamburger overdose.
It would be a better move to go for someone who can help him in some of the swing states.
Unfortunately for Trump and GOP, they took a bit of a shellacking in the the swing States in the midterms, so that bench is quite thin.

Trump wins, dies shortly after and one of them becomes the first woman POTUS

Stop it!
I think it might be more based on turnout than bringing in new voters. There is a sizeable minority of Latinos that are generally socially conservative and Rubio would likely be able to turn them out to vote better than MTG. Whether its enough to make a difference in key states is probably anyone's guess though.

"Donald Trump’s new joint fundraising agreement with the Republican National Committee directs donations to his campaign and a political action committee that pays the former president’s legal bills before the RNC gets a cut, according to a fundraising invitation obtained by The Associated Press."

That's awesome. Hopefully that means less people donating, and it certainly means less campaign money for downstream republicans. Even if he gets away with all of his criming, at least it helped dry up the GOP coffers.

This is what Tulsi Gabbard is banking on as she pimps out her qualifications to Don. Jr.
Electorally speaking, shouldn't the democrats overburden DJT with one lawsuit after another, meaning both less time for Trump to focus on campaigning and more billable hours for his legal team that will come out of the GOP campaigning budget?
The risk of course if that he gets away with some and use it to scream witch hunt, but chances are he'll do it either way.
Nah, he's used to that. He's had thousands of cases filed against him and he usually just settles out of court. The trouble is proving things and although there are countless things he could be accused of, it costs so much and the State or Federal Government losing will only reinforce his claims of persecution and a weaponised justice system.
The State cases, although still important are really more of getting him for whatever they can be relatively certain of obtaining a conviction for. Federal cases are different because from my understanding they rarely lose and have a ridiculously high conviction rate so only ever bother if they are absolutely certain they will win. Obviously this is unchartered territory with Trump being an ex President and the amount of charges and wide scope of them too.
What about his daughter? Is it a possibility? It will strengthen his autocratic dreams. If he wins, then in 2028 his daughter could become President and Donald the VP. And if there is a problem with pardoning himself, he could resign a week before his term ends and his daughter, the new POTUS, will pardon him.
Silly scenario, I know, but with Trump...
Biden keeps sinking lower and lower, without Michigan, he is probably toast.
Unfortunately many morons around here who don't realize that all their union positions have always gained the most in benefits and wages when Dems are in charge yet a lot of their membership so often lean R. Its incredibly mind boggling. I know people working in union heavy positions from manufacturing to public safety who have gotten way bigger gains than I have as an exempt non union professional yet they somehow think Trump is their hero.
Well, i hope these Union workers who loves Trump, enjoys another 4 years of union busting under Trump.
They will, of course, blame it on anybody but themselves though.
