That’s because he IS a weird skanky perv.

Vance has two strikes against him in MAGA calculus. He’s married to a woman who is NOT from central casting IYKWIM. Haven’t seen her around much lately…..Burgum on the other hand has the typical blonde wife. The other reason I think Vance may be at a disadvantage is that he makes Trump look even older than he is. Burgum is what….late ‘60’s? Vance is incredibly ambitious and Trump does not like being upstaged.

I still think he’s going to pick somebody else and these 3 are decoys. I’ve been wondering about MAGA Mike Johnson whose goose is kind of cooked as Speaker, from a red district so no threat of losing the seat, he’s got the Pence hair helmet and obsequiesness—he’s kind of a Renfied to Trump’s Dracula. I don’t think he’d be the threat that Vance would be.

Burgum is 69. I don’t see what North Dakota adds to Trump’s campaign. They have what, a single electoral vote? I’m hoping Trump picks Lil’ Marco so we can see if he buys the DeSantis boot lifts.

I've thought this for quite some time.

If Trump is looking for an accessory, Johnson is too nerdy for the role..short, glasses. Also more to leverage with him in House leadership, even if he can't hold the gavel.

If Melania is not going to do rallies or WH events, is VP going stag an issue? I hadn't thought about the accessory spouse issue before you mentioned it.

I can see Mike Johnson as a dark horse pick. He was all in on the Stop the Steal lie. Per reporting, he filed an amicus brief supporting Ken Paxton's lawsuit to invalidate the election results in PA, WI, GA, and MI. He's a true believer.

Mike Johnson will also need the boot lifts and he looks about 30. He doesn’t have any dynamism in his little self. Just religious fervor.

He'll do Trump's bidding willingly and adjust his conscience accordingly.
