Understand that. It's the 30% of republicans that did not vote for Trump and instead voted for Haley that were saying in their exit interviews that they just cannot vote for Trump again, and that is going to be the problem. After what we saw last election, if he cannot consolidate the republican base and get every single available republican vote to swing his way, he loses. Country is too evenly split between dems and repubs. When it's 50/50, you need all of your team and Trump doesnt have all his team on his team and never will. He's simply too divisive and his huge ego turns off the women. I've always said Trumps problem is that he's got 70% of the republican vote in his pocket and the other 30% are RINOs that hate him and want to see him in jail. Dems vote dem, 100% of the time and are willing to do whatever it takes to win, legal, marginal, illegal. Until republicans start supporting whomever the nominee is and having the same attitude about elections as democrats, the Dems will occupy the whitehouse and either control or be close enough to muck up both the house and senate.

Has Britt actually *done* anything or voted on anything yet? And if so, how did she vote? I’m sure I could look it up but don’t have the time right now.

And these exit interviews were republicans ? Says who ?
This has been the Dem plan to present Trump as having a divided party when it’s not
There are no independent or undecided voters
Everyone already knows who they will vote for and if they’re saying they won’t vote Trump they are a Dem

There is nothing to gain from Britt. Absolutely nothing. I don't get that at all.

Noem is a proven candidate that might help him, but Britt brings nothing to the table.

Picking someone qualified, not of the swamp and in a swing state, or minority would be a much much better choice. What does any VP candidate bring to the table to help win, and more importantly, lock step with the president? Britt brings absolutely nothing at all.

I don't see where either Noem or Britt bring much to the table other than they might garner a few more Soccer Mom votes for Trump. I still contend that a Black person, preferably a Black woman would do the most for him. Even a Latina or Latino, would be more help. If it is going to be a White woman, I think Lake with her media experience would be the most help. Then, it should be a person that hails from a swing state to help at home. Lake fits this, Noem or Britt don't. I think Winsome Sears would be his best pick. Veteran, Black woman, sharp as a tack, conservative, from a swing state.

I disagree about the aspects of the VP being nothing but a title. VP is next in line should the President die, become incapacitated, or removed from office. VP is tasked with implementing many policy initiatives and negotiations behind the scenes. VP is President of the Senate and casts tie-breaking votes. VP has the President's ear in many cases on other matters. The VP is very important...perhaps not as much in the mundane day to day activities of the Executive Branch but certainly mission critical for continuity of government in case something happens to the President.

In my view, it is good to have a VP who has some skill sets that are different from or even better than the President...that way the President has good internal executive leadership and wise council on certain subjects in addition to his cabinet and advisors. So the test for the VP should be either equal to or pretty close (acceptable level) what we want in a President.

In football the backup QB should be ready and capable and leading the team when needed. In basketball, the backup point guard should be ready and capable of that role. In baseball, you need really good backup starters and relivers in the pitching rotation. Next up players gotta be able and ready to do their thing. And that is just sports which are actually non-important when compared to leading the country.

If it had to be a woman, I would think Sarah Huckabee Sanders would be his pick. Throw in Kari Lake as your Press Secretary. Both sit on vaginas with teeth in them.

I understand the “next man(or woman) up. That is really not my point. I was speaking specifically about how Trump does business. He is an arrogant President that relies only on his opinion. Not a knock on him, thats just what he is. Day to Day Responsibilities for Trumps VP is zilch. Trump wants an ass kisser, not a functional VP. He never considers a “what if” scenario. Pence said it was difficult being his VP because he was never brought into meetings. Never met with Trump for strategy meetings. Half the time he felt useless. When he did speak, Trump would contradict him. If something were to happen to Trump, off course they would step up. It Just has to be a person willing to be a knot on a log unless Trump Died. Im 65 years old, that has only happened 2 times, Johnson and Ford. And Ford stepping up was a total fluke.

Upon farther review , I'm not sure Sears could be Prez . Looks like she wasn't born in USA , but hey , that didn't stop Obama. She would be a great pick though , checks a bunch of boxes . I'm surprised Sarah Sanders name isn't in the mix.

Checking boxes is the democrat game plan.

When republicans try to play their game, they lose. See Herschel, Sarah Palin, etc.

Pick someone who compliments Trump, and forget about skin color and what equipment God put between their legs.

If Britt is the pick Trump is signing his own death warrant.
