IncredibleIgloo posted:He is likely to pick someone that appeals to his base at this point, I don't think he is going to go looking for a moderate anyone. I don't see him having a VP that has ever criticized him or ran against him in any capacity. He wants someone that will give him unquestioning loyalty and will be happy to stand by if he tries to consolidate power or perform a coup. Noem meets that requirement, and because she is a woman Trump can make unflattering comparisons between VPs based deeply in racism and misogyny, which will appeal to his base. Having the VP be a subservient woman will also appeal to his base and Evangelicals. She seems like the perfect pick; there is no need to find a moderate to mollify undecided voters at this point. Everyone knows who Trump is and what they are going to get with him, and they know the VP will be powerless to reign in any of his behaviour. Its gonna be Katie Britt or Elise Stefanik.

There are like a dozen Republican women vying for VP at this point. It would be easy to pass on Noem for this

This might turn my mom's vote at least. I know, one vote in California is meaningless, but at least it means one less popular vote. Her dog is old, useless, blind and full of health problems and she loves the dang pup. It's basically a roomba that vacuums treats at this point. She's actually super cute.

I know a guy that keeps hemming and hawwing about voting for Biden because of student loans (he never had one) and the border (he's not left the mid Atlantic for 20 years) but if there's one single issue I know he'll never vote for Trump over it's having a VP who killed a dog. I actually wonder where he's getting gop pilled from because we have pretty much all mutual friends and he doesn't watch the news or use social media. Dude had a flip phone until like 6 years ago.

I hope you can find a way to flip him because student loans suck and immigrants rule. Dogs drool but in a very cute and loveable way.

I have some local goats named Bilbo and Frodo and when they were young and small they were just the cutest thing ever.... And then they grew to like 200 pounds each of solid muscle....

As far as I know his family are all democrats but his parents are getting older and maybe developed some unfortunate opinions. I have absolutely no idea how he can have any strong feelings regarding student loans.

Nobody else said it but fuckin LMAO redshirt posted:I have some local goats named Bilbo and Frodo and when they were young and small they were just the cutest thing ever.... Goats are funny, man. They went so long developing an evolutionary defense and it completely dissolves in conflict with opposable thumbs. It's like having a dog with built-in convenience handles.

Steadiman posted:https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1784247793848127753 This is like when my kid gets done watching a Transformers episode that's inspired him. He walks into the room, puffs his chest and shoulders up, squints his eyes, looks off in another direction and takes off running like we're in awe of him and he's got some important mission we just can't comprehend the importance of. Only this is an adult doing it and it looks completely loving ridiculous because holy poo poo grow the gently caress up, man. It's amazing how just completely childish conservatives are.
