Trump: Well Sure I'm Considering the Meatball for Vice President
People say he can't pick DeSantis, because DeSantis and Trump both live in Florida, and the Constitution say the VP and president must have different states as their abodes.
But Trump can just change his main legal address, if he likes. DeSantis can't because he's governor of Florida, but Trump could just claim that, say, Virginia is his new home. Buy a house, get mail delivered there, bing-bing-bong. Obviously Trump could just make his second home his legal residence -- New York City-- but New York is such a toxic environment right now, I would not advise Trump to give that state of lunatics any more jurisdiction over him than they have now. Democrats have routinely demonstrated that these residence requirements are paper requirements only. They routinely run for office in states while actually living in DC or the suburbs around DC. Anyway, here's his shortlist:Former President Trump indicated that at least a half a dozen contenders -- including three former rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination -- are on his shortlist for running mate. The commanding frontrunner for the GOP nomination had plenty of praise for one of those potential candidates who joined Trump at Fox News town hall on Tuesday in this upstate South Carolina city. During the program, which ran on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle," Trump was asked about half a dozen potential running mate choices: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, a Democrat turned independent. "Are they all on your shortlist?" host Laura Ingraham asked the former president. "They are," Trump answered. "Honestly, all of those people are good. They're all good, they're all solid."Even DeSanctimonious?! The gay adulterer groomer who shut down Florida against Trump's demands?!

I dunno -- the VP has as much power as the President cedes to him. if Trump wanted the VP to be the czar of immigration, censorship, social media monopolies, and whatever else is in his portfolio, he could be that.

I do think there's a high-level job for DS in a Trump admin. AG or Sec'y of State or something like that. I think DS could do more good in that capacity than in the non-entity VP role.

Even maybe Youngkin could work. But im not sure what other choices there are, could be some left field ones.

There's nothing that says the president and VP can't be from the same state. It's just the electors in a given state can't vote for both POTUS and VP from their own state.
It would mean in this case that Florida's electors couldn't cast ballots for both of them at the same time. This would not be the that bad for a small state, but Florida is a key state, and you could have some weird situation where say Trump won the EC, but DeSantis did not, and threw the VP election to the Senate.

Having a female and/or minority running mate would absolutely trigger the worst racist/misogynist impulses of the Democrats-- look at how they treated Palin.
If they're ready for it (as McCain/Palin absolutely was not), it could be fantastic. Could peel off a *lot* of fence-sitters or nominally (D)-voters. They don't even have to switch sides-- just staying home could tip the balance.

Trump also owns property in New Jersey, which has the distinction of being 'Not New York'. Beyond that, not much.

You might think so, but the recent election in NY, in which Tom Suozzi (D-Caucasian) beat Mazi Pilip (R-Badass) suggests otherwise.
Okay, but that's head-to-head. Almost no one votes *for* Veep-- usually the best outcome is you lose fewer votes with a good pick than a bad one.
If "undecideds" and other wishy-washy-types get a good look at how Democrats treat those who leave their plantation, it may have a positive.

No one with a brain would quit a job to take a job with Trump given his record of firing people. Trump's assessment of you goes from great to garbage in the blank of an eye. The only way to avoid that as a Trump surrogate is to take a job that he can't fire you from. And vice president is the only one.

Plus, if Trump can peel off just another 2 or 3% of black voters in states like Pennsylvania and Michigan, etc. it probably puts them over the top

For me, the two most intriguing picks would be Vivek and Tulsi. I don't think either will be VP, but Vivek could be put in charge of reducing regulations and generally draining the swamp. Tulsi still needs to get a better grasp of economics, but she's solid for State or DoD duties. Both should be at or near cabinet level.

He didn't fire anyone beyond the people who we personally interacted with. How many attorneys general did he have like eight? There was sloppy Steve. There was that weird guy who was press secretary for 4 days.
Trump gets tired of people who displease him on a personal level, but he did Jack fucking shit to clear out the bureaucracy.
Anyway, the point stands that taking a job with Trump means that he'll praise you today but he may call you the most incompetent loser in the world tomorrow. If you're okay with that risk, fine. But if you have a secure job like Governor or Senator, you don't give that up to put yourself at the mercy of Trump's whims.

I'd like this to be true. But my concern is the same I had with Trump. And that was that he didn't have a large of enough people that were like-minded to fill the major (and minor) rolls of his administration to get things done that he wanted. That why I tend to think governors ( and democrats especially) have a huge advantage accomplishing their goals.

You don't have to find the statement. My point is
that saying his choice is made or narrowed down
to 2 does not necessarily contradict saying that these 6-7 would be good in the job.

I don't see that as a problem, in fact it's a good thing. He'll have time to develop position papers, get on the news, assemble a team, and generally start preparing his run, which would start only a year after he leaves the governorship.

Dude I don't know what to tell you. If you don't see what a revolving door Trump's term was, I don't know what to tell you. People went from brilliant to stupid in the blink of an eye. Trump hired and fired a lot of people. He didn't hire the right people the first time, or they displeased him, or whatever but the he did haven't revolving door administration.
But this is the way it is with a lot of Always Trumpers: "that didn't happen but it's good that it did."

No, the Constitution says that a VP or POTUS must be from a different state than the state's electors. So, it would only actually effect one state if both VP and POTUS were from the same state and would only effect one office (either POTUS or VP).
In other words, FL electors can't vote for both Trump and DeSantis for Pres and VP - they'd have to chose to vote for one or the other, but not both.

but too many people let these newsies set the agenda. Is DeSantis, or anyone, on Trump's shortlist? I don't know. He may or may not be at that point yet.
But the story is this - Ingraham named a bunch of people and asked Trump if they are all on the shortlist Trump said "they are" which I take to mean they may or may not be (not a political answer but rather a salesman's answer), and he also said they are all solid people.
Well, okay. What really is a short list anyway? Are there other people on this shortlist that Ingraham did NOT mention and if he picks them, does the world call him a big fat liar? What if they show up on the short list later - or one of these people drops off? What then? What if one or more of these people would never ever be his pick in a million years?
Eh. I can't get excited about this question or this answer. I don't think anyone expected Pence going into the 2016 convention, a lot of us applauded it (though those who were dubious of him after his action on the religious freedom restoration act were right!)
