Trump VP Selection

she is too smart for that. Yes smart. She will pick someone who will bring her one of swing states.

It will definitely be somebody relatively safe. She's definitely not going to pick a member of the Squad, Warren, or Bernie. Buttigieg and Newsom are the least safe names I've seen mentioned and they are probably well behind the others: Cooper, Kelly, Beshear, Shapiro, Walz, Whitmer. All of them are moderates.

That's just it, Vance doesn't really expand the republican base. He doesn't hurt it, but no help.
Like you I want to see a massive turnout and only a really sharp contrast does that. The country needs to decide. Full on big government sugar daddy redistribution and all the bullshit that comes with it, or old school MAGA stay in your lane, you get what you get. The potential outlier is RFK. He could size the moment with a solid VP pick and message, this is way too important of an election to go with these two maniacs being offered by the establishment. Whatever the case the country needs to pick a decisive direction and do so in a big way with a huge turnout like we've never seen. The commies need to see it as their moment to change everything, the MAGA see it as a last ditch effort to save the country, or independents to say these fucks are crazy, the worm brain seems the safe and sensible choice.

VPs generally don't help much and tend to make things worse. I think he's clearly already the second worst pick in my lifetime (behind Palin). He's simply said way too much extreme stuff in the past (with the worst being about childless women so far). Pence was arguably the most helpful as he helped excused Trump's lack of "family values" to evangelicals back in 2016.

He did grow up working poor with a very dysfunctional family. He got a very generous financial aid package to attend Yale. Actually I'd call it a DEI admission. He did however earn the nod with good grades and high academic achievement, but being poor white trash did help. I give him credit for making the most of the opportunities presented to him. He isn't a bad guy, just brings nothing really advantageous to the ticket and as things are turning out Trump might need more than a yes man sidekick to put him over the top.
