Many of the people on former President and GOP frontrunner Donald Trump's VP shortlist were present at CPAC 2024 and gave speeches. Among them, former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem. New York Rep. Elise Stefanik has also been another name floated, and she also gave a speech at the conference. Save for two other names purportedly on the list - Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott - it's almost like CPAC was an audition of sorts.Or at least the CPAC attendees thought so.

I forget if it's the 11th or 12th amendment, but it basically requires the President and Vice President candidates must be from different states, as the Electoral College electors from each state cannot vote for both a Pres and VP from their own state.

Trump's VP choice should be all about who we give the nod to run for POTUS in 2028. Cut out the emotional, knee-jerk, do-gooder, feel-good, B.S., and go with the one who walks tall and proudly carries the "conservative torch."

Although, Donalds does come across as a rather impressive individual. Wonder if the former Senator from Delaware would refer to HIM as a "mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy"?

My choice for vice president is someone I believe would govern more like Trump if something should happen to him, or to take over after his four years are up. No, on Tim Scott. He is too soft and acts like a puppy dog around Trump. No to the women mentioned. Kari Lake would be tough and could do the job, but many think she's too strident. Ramaswamy is too young, and I still don't know enough about him. He needs another important job before he becomes a vice president. I still think DeSantis could do the job based on all he's done for Florida, but there's the two people from the same state problem. Funny, J.D. Vance wasn't mentioned. He's young too, but is smart and capable enough to handle the important job of vice president. He would be my second choice.

My money is on Kristi Noem or Tim Scott, with Elise Stenfanek as my longshot.

Re #8, good choices, and I don't disagree with your list, but I'd put Sarah Huckabee Sanders high on my list.

# 11, you ask some interesting questions. Until the enemies of this great country do something to force a change in our normal election cycle, it is assumed we will have an election as normal in November. There is an article on Lucianne this morning about a real insurrection being planned to prevent President Trump from becoming president a third time (second was stolen). I remain curious about if and how that would materialize. As far as President Trump being alive to participate, have you seen his motorcades every where he goes? That is not a Past Presidential motorcade. POTUS is very well insulated. President Trump also appears to be in good health both physically and mentally. Sit back and enjoy the show. The deep state is being exposed for the evil swamp creatures they are.

South Carolinian here. Name one position Tim Scott has taken or one cause he has championed. He’s a “finger to the wind” lawmaker and a McConnell toady. Good guy, great story, but no there there.

The only obvious choice is Taylor Swift. The ticket would get 150 million votes; most of them legal.

Don't care about these VP polls and questions. DJT will make the choice when the time is right and he'll do much better than he did in 2016.

It has to be someone who will have his back and not be getting ready for the POS RINOs to crown him/her in 2028. I love Pres Trump but he had poor judgement and surrounded himself with the snakes he is reading about. His whole administration was crawling with them.. He had very few loyal people , including the one I thought was ok Mike Pompeo. He was scheming and hiding things from Trump along with his former agency, CIA...I want pit bulls in every slot he has open. No more Mr nice guy ..I am not sure who it should be.. He has time and he needs to take suggestions from someone he absolutly can trust, aka.. Melania..

If Trump picks Byron Donalds then one of them will have to move to another state or they will lose Florida's electors under the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves."
