His pick of a DeSantis or Tim Scott over an obscure unknown or Yes Man (Or Yes Woman) could mean the difference between winning and losing.

Doesn't matter. he's not going to win and Repubs should be ashamed with the inability to trot out a better platform/candidate.

Are you serious? How bout dems being ashamed with the inability to trot out a better platform/candidate? You've really got to be kidding with that statement.

Gonna take a strong personality to be Trump's VP. Ron DeSantis seems to me the only man up to the task. I love Tim Scott, but not sure he has the cajones and temperament to challenge Trump when he is wrong.

That is because it is too late for policy responses to change our fate.

That was terrible. I don't know who was responsible for selecting her for the GOP response, but the thinking was probably something like let's put someone out there that suburban women can identify with? A trial balloon for leadership?

It is obvious why her husband married her, but how in the world did she even get to the place where she could be elected to the senate?

When both major parties have nominated guys that will be 82 and 85 at the end of their term (if they live that long) the VP choice for the ticket is really important.

Not sure what world you live in, but in the real one people who challenge Trump get fired.

Since Trump can't fire an elected VP -- I wonder if he even knows that -- it could get interesting. SEAL Team 6 may get involved.

RFK? Eff that. Willie Nelson 2024, that f*cker just won't die. Don't need to worry about Willie's VP pick.

All kidding aside, RFK Jr. isn't a bad choice. Don't agree with him on somethings, but if I could vote for him. Especially if the GOP can prevent Trump from being the nominee and they slide in Nikki Haley.

...it's really strange how you're able to blame both parties for their roles in hurting America - but when it comes to drag queen shows for children you're completely unable to blame both parents and drag queens for their roles in hurting children. There's more consistency in Biden's bowel movements than in your moral standards.

generally, the Republican response to anything to go to the nation is Biden is responsible and we're all going to die. That response is certainly true you're on this board.

If you are correct, then that would be a winning message. Sadly, you are not correct and the GOP once again snatched failure from the jaws of success. She is handsome, talented, and as a VP nod could pull a percentage point or two in some key races, but was coached by people who had no business coaching such things.

I think it was fubar who said just above something to the effect that Trump's VP pick this go around matters even less than one normally would (inference that they never do much, which is correct).

I think that's not true at all this cycle. We have a very unusual dynamic this cycle.....two incredibly unpopular nominees of the major parties, with what might end up being 5-6 minor party candidates, at least one of which seems likely to pull in double digits of support, with another one or two picking up whole points of votes. The right VP candidate could be the difference in a swing state or three by firing up a demographic or three for a few extra thousands of votes here & there.

And if Dems do try to replace Biden at convention, there will be some splintering of their coalition. Anything goes at that point.

Very interesting cycle shaping up.
