It's not even a question, J.D. Vance. He has proven himself through legislation and actions to be a reliable populist and someone who makes good political decisions. I honestly see him as the more competent heir to Trumpism without the drama or the inconsistency of Trump as well as someone with more intellectual heft. Someone like him at Trump's side guiding him would make a huge difference in any potential administration and there is little chance of Vance stabbing Trump in the back on behalf of the party establishment. Honestly, Vance strikes me as someone who would have been a normal Republican or Democrat in the 60's or early 70's before neoliberalism and neoconservatism changed the parties completely. Another important thing to consider is what happens after Trump is gone. He may not be Joe Biden but he is still an old man. I would rather the torch be carried forward by someone young and competent than have it end up falling apart to grifters and neocons. That is why he is my choice.
He's a uniparty former liberal and what's his voting record, budget,FISA, Cares act and what's he done to decrease govt? Byron Donald's is way smarter than him but Vivek is the one.
There's something about Vance that doesn't seem right; just a gut feeling, but he doesn't come across as genuine. Trump's first term was marred by bad appointments, due mainly to bad advice from people who knew how the game was played much better than Trump, as someone who came from outside the Washington system. This time he will be much more prepared. He needs to surround himself with people who are 100% loyal and have proven themselves to be so. Navarro seems to me to be a perfect pick; smart, loyal and completely onboard with the MAGA agenda. As an added bonus, it will also drive the left insane. Coincidentally, someone sent me this article today about Vance that would seem to back up my gut feeling about the guy. It's from 2016, so it's possible he's changed his mind, but he seems like an opportunist to me. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/07/opioid-of-the-masses/489911/?gift=pH4gQQsLj7KJ1ThMd-e8PqgabIbKGVCCP_ztvQUFrRE&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share
Trump must surround himself with true believers this time, people like Navarro, Bannon, Mike Flynn, and Kash Patel. The enemy are always looking to install their own people in order to subvert his presidency. It's hard to trust those who have not paid a price for their support and perhaps unfortunately, that includes Vance.
Watched the "FLYNN" movie and Trump wanted to pick him instead of Pence, but was told not to. That's when he appointed him head of Intel. But unfortunately listened to Pence and Flynn was asked to resign. I think he needs to come back and CLEAN HOUSE. Think he's the only one who can do it!
I lean to Tulsi because I think the sane people who were formerly on the left and now politically homeless will decide the election. Tulsi articulates very well why it's "ok" for them to vote red. As much as I like Vivek, I don't think he adds as many votes as Tulsi does.
I have nothing against her and feel she's come a long way BUT after seeing her in the last debates, I'm not convinced she is "real" yet. I'd like to see her head of the VA, which is where her heart and passion lays.
Bullshit. I retired from there after 22 years and I Guarantee you that Veterans get mostly lip service except for Frontline staff such as myself and Managers give themselves bonuses.
Phoenix VA Hospital has legionella in water, asbestos in floors and ceilings, Mold and mushrooms in the GD walls and no Admin either R or D made a damn difference.
Try to call OG office to ask for some damn help for the grunts and you are Retaliated… except they didn’t get me.
Trust me ~ the Feds don’t give a crap. Not Reps. Not Dems.
J.D. Vance. We need another Populist to carry forth after Trump is gone and he’s from the holla, young, Ivy educated and connects to everyday man/woman (Hillbilly Elegy book)
Doesn’t help! Soldiers in VA hospitals get shit on by Feds and front line Nurses advocating to the Damn Void. I am a Lib AND a font of info on the real deal at the VA.
Be respectful and I will tell you More BS.
I would have been for Outsourcing but NOT until Nam Vets have all died. The best and only therapy was talking to one another outside on smoking patio.
WW2 talked to bedside staff because they didn’t get spit on and ostracized if they actually made it Home. It was awful!!! and Harder to medicate the ones dying of Cancer (agent Orange anyone?)
They had done all the drugs and who can blame them? We had to really UP the narcotics and guess what??? Some of them preferred Pot and weren’t allowed to have it when Dying because VA is Federal!!!
If you want to help Vietnam Vets… lobby for making Marijuana Federally Legal… for the soldiers!
Still want to call me names?
VA Hospitals have a lot of R staff and a lot of Lib staff and were a Team!!! Respected each other… this is what ya’ll need to pray about if you pray. USA 🇺🇸!!!
Vivek was pro-jabs and pro-masks in the beginning of the pandemic. His wife is a laryngologist who specializes in swallowing disorders ranging from "head and neck cancer to reflux to neurodegenerative disorders" but recommends the jabs anyway. She's GOT to be seeing the jab damage other docs have been reporting. She's either blind or dishonest. Vivek is HEAVY, HEAVY into big pharma and currently is partnering with Pfizer with Myovant. All his companies names end in -"vant" (=want). Riovant (Return On Investment -Want), Axovant, Telavant, etc. and is accused of pulling a fast one on investors with his "new" (failed by GlaxoSmithKline and sold to him for $5M) Alzheimer's drug, intepirdine "re-vamped" by Axovant. He and his mom made out like billionaire bandits, other investors lost millions in pensions. He then rebranded the company name to Sio Gene Therapies. He also tried to get an app developed to tracked covid jabs - DATAVANT. AND finally, during his campaign, he kept saying that "God is real" but he's a practicing Hindu who believes in numerous gods, so which god was he talking about? Not the Christian God. I felt that was very disingenuous to try to get the Christian vote.
Have YOU cared for a soldier who has had his tongue and jawbone removed.. lifetime trach and Tube feeds? I did. They are fucked. All my vaxxes friends are fiiine. Fat unvaxxed Republicans died of Covid because they were fat and brainwashed… how do you like your Polio? With or without Iron Lung?!!!🫁
This isn't my Substack, but if it were, I'd block you. You keep jumping into every conversation and making comments that have nothing to do with it, often using vulgar language. It isn't constructive and I doubt it wins readers' sympathies for your point of view.
There have been at least 6 Presidents where at least one parent of POTUS was not born on USA soil:
Thomas Jefferson - 3rd
John Tyler - 10th
Chester A. Arthur -21st
Woodrow Wilson - 28th
Barack Obama - 44th
Donald Trump - 45th
1844 SCOTUS Lynch vs. Clarke case 1st clarified that person was citizen if born in USA even if parents were not. Then the 1868 14th Amendment to Constitution solidified this further.
At the time, his parents were both working as visiting college professors I believe. Just as the birth of a child on US soil does not create citizenship in the parent, the birthplace of the child does not establish the status of Natural Born Citizen. Throughout history citizenship has been based upon the criteria of the parents. It has not been linked to the child. This criteria of Natural Born Citizen does not deviate from that norm.
That is true. At the time, his parents were both working as visiting college professors I believe.

The United States and the 1868 ratification of the 14th Amendment changed any prior history in this regard. The 14th Amendment established new history, and we’ve lived under that new history for the past 156 years, and counting.
That was a bitch move by Coulter. Judge a person by their soul and not the texture of hair or color of skin. When you’re in a foxhole, none of that matters.
I don't care about the fairness of the comment, only that it disqualifies Vivek R. in front of the HBD voters. Both him and Vance protect Drmupf from an LBJ-incident so, if one is disqualified, the other is the choice.
Hi Renee Marie! We need all ups! 😉😊😋 I was talking to my Guardian Angel one day and told him he needed a name, since I don't know his, so sometimes I call him George. I hope he's ok with that. (I have to act silly sometimes, even if it's just for myself.)
Unfortunately there is the illusion of choice. The evil cabal puts in place who they want. I trust No one now. They are playing us like a fiddle and keep us divided with the left/right, blue/red choice.
This was confirmed to me when the establishment entirely demoted RDS--even though the 'republicans' should have clamored for him to be their leader. RDS did more to refute the pharma-fascism than any other governor in the country.
RDS should NEVER have run. He listened to the wrong people (or perhaps his wife did). Most of the "consultants" only wanted to hurt DJT...they couldn't care less about RDS or his future.
He is very good in FL BUT he also has the entire legislature and most of the entire state government behind him. Makes it much easier to look good.
In DC he'd be on his own and as DJT found out, it's a lonely place and few will back you up AND you won't have a clue whom you can trust.
RDS didn't help his own cause though, wearing shoe lifts, jilted speech and that cringy smile. I like his legislation and delivery when he's on home turf. Floridians are lucky to have him. In front of national press though, not so much. He'll grow in time, and if he's stays true to Populist-roots, might have another swing at things in a future cycle
he has no control over the media doing what it could to make him look bad. Other than maybe some early caving to covid, he quickly caught on and promoted anti-fascism. But this does not work at the White House level. He's definitely most effective at a level where he can actually impact policy, whereas president is a figurehead position.
I like RDS quite a bit. I just also recognize that POTUS has turned into a bit of a popularity contest and RDS doesn't (yet) play well in this arena. During Covid I was wishing I lived in Florida...
but again: RDS had no ability to control the government media, which (although it had spent years allegedly hating Trump), suddenly was intent on programming people to support Trump over RDS--which was absurd. So the elite powers could easily have had RDS win the popularity contest. But for the sake of his own and his family's health, it's probably best he not be President...
His campaign was torpedoed by Steven K Bannon. He followed Trump's strategy from his 2016 primary: identify the numero uno threat first, and take him down. Then move on to the next numero uno. Trump's main competitiion at the outset was RDS, so Bannon rallied all of MAGA to attack RDS. "He's a good governor, but not presidential material" blah blah woof woof. What BS. But it worked.
Show me your Law degree, Skippy? Ahahaha you’re so ignorant you resort to baby ass language per usual. What does being Weak and Triggered feel like, Pup??🐶
Why do Progressive astroturfers always have such surly demeanor?
Is it a communications strategy? Perhaps xey hope to persuade the lumpenproletariat and the criminal classes that - although xey were born with a silver spoon in xir mouth and are totally out of touch - xir character at least is every bit as low as theirs.
Or maybe it's because xey know xey are a disappointment to xir family? All that family money squandered, all those years of sitting in class listening to elderly fake communists preach. And still, the best job xe could get is astroturfer, paid a few bucks per word to troll Substack. Quite shameful.
Not Tulsi Gabbard! She presents too well, too polished and too practiced. So what's really under there? Is she really a patriot or is she a patriot because it looks good? JD Vance or Byron Donalds. They're both needed where they are though. Vivek for Press Secretary!!
That’s a pipe dream. You cannot get rid of any Federal agency without at least 2 branches of government in your aisle, and ideally all 3. Then you need to start with a small agency nobody cares about, kill it completely, and salt that earth. Show that shrinking government can actually be done. Only then can you go big game hunting. No party has ever shrunk government, ever. And sadly, I don’t see Trump having the will, courage or coalition to actually try and do it. Although, if there’s ever a time to try it, it’s when you’re on the last term, which he would most certainly be if he wins.
That's the other thing. Thanks - I knew I was leaving something out! We already have too many of those b@stards in the gov't as it is! The expression "intuitive repulsion" comes to mind.
Quite frankly it is unclear what Trump actually believes so I say Tulsi Gabbard makes the most sense. Seems like she would get the most independents to vote Trump since she was a former Democrat and she actually makes coherent statements even though I don't always agree with her.
If we voted tomorrow, Trump would win by alot- i think he should not choose based on bringing in votes. It should be based on qualifications for the job.
Tulsi, hands down. Great messenger. Bold, brave, patriotic, knows how the corruption works, young, attractive, independent, serves our military, non-warmonger, but outspoken on the threat of radical Islam, not a lunatic abortion ban zealot, Hindu/Catholic and… drumroll… calming. She wins the youth,suburban female, normal men, Jews, Asians, blacks, fed up Dems and a lion’s share of Conservatives.
Mea culpa! I can’t even attribute it to being PMSEDWTFLGBTQ666 as a DEI waiver. Or “ Androgynous For Hamas”.
Tulsi is absolutely hated by the left. She’s a fan of Modi, vocally anti-Islamist Extremism, supports Israel’s right to self defense, is pro-secure, sovereign borders, pro-women’s sports,anti-warmongering and military adventurism, honest, a devout Hindu who is very respectful of Christians, but believes nobody should be condemned if they opt not to align with any particular religious ideology and is pro-choice within sane parameters. Angering the far-religious right.
And she continues to identify as Independent. She’s perfect for the part.😂And she has cool hair.
Solid Christian but not afraid saying “What the hell….” Sometime.
Here is what makes him TOTALLY unlike all others….our adversaries would fear him. Like Trump, there is something about him that lets them know they don’t want to mess with him.
Listen to him and watch his demeanor. The next Trump.
I use luxxle search engine. Find his photos and bio.
It may be irrelevant, but I’m an old professional athlete. It doesn’t hurt for a man to be in good physical condition. Is it part of the fear factor? He is an Alpha male with shoulders bigger than his waste. He still jumps out of perfectly good airplanes. I am so tired of soft beta males in our politics and more especially in our pulpits.
I’ll play the game Mary Mc, and consider candidates, but I doubt seriously the election will take place. We do what we can. We prepare for anything and everything. We pray up. Then we step behind The Commander of Heaven’s Armies. He’s got this.
It's not even a question, J.D. Vance. He has proven himself through legislation and actions to be a reliable populist and someone who makes good political decisions. I honestly see him as the more competent heir to Trumpism without the drama or the inconsistency of Trump as well as someone with more intellectual heft.

I would rather the torch be carried forward by someone young and competent than have it end up falling apart to grifters and neocons. That is why he is my choice.
But he's a white male!!
True! 😄
That's why I have this "I identify as Non Bidenary" shirt: t.co/foRV7Uk6Gc
He's a uniparty former liberal and what's his voting record, budget,FISA, Cares act and what's he done to decrease govt? Byron Donald's is way smarter than him but Vivek is the one.
A dying breed Thank the Goddess 👻🥊🔥👏🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Maybe J6ers could be sprinkled throughout the administration. They'd do wonders at the DOJ and DHS!

Trust me ~ the Feds don’t give a crap. Not Reps. Not Dems.
The pick is not just for VP but also for the heir for MAGA, so Vance.
If i base my choice on who I'd like to have a beer with, it'd be Tulsi, hands down. Realistically, though, i think Vance has a helluva lot to offer.
J.D. Vance. We need another Populist to carry forth after Trump is gone and he’s from the holla, young, Ivy educated and connects to everyday man/woman (Hillbilly Elegy book)
And a military veteran who saw service in Iraq.
Yes, a Devil Dog… always faithful

Vivek head and shoulders above the rest. Can you imagine him shredding Kamala in a debate?

Bam!
Trump is also pro jabs perhaps even more so now than he was when he startedoperation warp speed.
Have YOU cared for a soldier who has had his tongue and jawbone removed.. lifetime trach and Tube feeds? I did. They are fucked. All my vaxxes friends are fiiine. Fat unvaxxed Republicans died of Covid because they were fat and brainwashed… how do you like your Polio? With or without Iron Lung?!!!🫁
I can see him doing the shredding as Press Secretary. Now that would be a "must see"
Vivek is both a natural born citizen and a natural born killer. To your point about press secretary, he would kill it in that position:
https://x.com/simonateba/status/1790419793662595261
And he doesn't have to be "natural born" (not sure about that argument) to be Press Secretary. It would be a melt down daily. Way too much fun.
BS… run away KKK you are about to be very disappointed
This isn't my Substack, but if it were, I'd block you. You keep jumping into every conversation and making comments that have nothing to do with it, often using vulgar language. It isn't constructive and I doubt it wins readers' sympathies for your point of view.
He is not qualified because he is not a natural born citizen. He's also into big Pharma.
Not true, Vivek was born in Cincinnati, OH and is a natural born American citizen.
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Vivek-Ramaswamy
But his parents weren't Citizens, as part of the Rule to be a Natural Born Citizen.
There have been at least 6 Presidents where at least one parent of POTUS was not born on USA soil:

Obama's father was not a citizen and that didn't rule him out.
Obummer wasn't a natural born citizen.
At the time, his parents were both working as visiting college professors I believe. Just as the birth of a child on US soil does not create citizenship in the parent, the birthplace of the child does not establish the status of Natural Born Citizen. Throughout history citizenship has been based upon the criteria of the parents. It has not been linked to the child. This criteria of Natural Born Citizen does not deviate from that norm.
and an asshat
I think Vivek actually was born in the USA, his parents were immigrants.
That is true. At the time, his parents were both working as visiting college professors I believe.

The United States and the 1868 ratification of the 14th Amendment changed any prior history in this regard. The 14th Amendment established new history, and we’ve lived under that new history for the past 156 years, and counting.
not qualified because he’s a total ignorant jerk who is all about Power and Money
Vivek proposed a 50% federal death tax. He is nuts!!
I didn’t know that but you are right
Vivek is a pathological liar who really doesn’t believe in anything, though he pretends to. His ideas are often naive and foolish.
Anyone can shred Harris in a debate. I like Vivek but I don’t think VP is in the cards this cycle.
My 18 yo dog, that sleeps 20, or more, hours a day could shred Cackles in a debate.
I do really like listening to Vivek though.
"Salty" Coulter disqualified him reminding he is not White, the HBD-crowd is not going to vote for him.
So Vance.
That was a bitch move by Coulter. Judge a person by their soul and not the texture of hair or color of skin. When you’re in a foxhole, none of that matters.
I don't care about the fairness of the comment, only that it disqualifies Vivek R. in front of the HBD voters. Both him and Vance protect Drmupf from an LBJ-incident so, if one is disqualified, the other is the choice.
No. She would wipe the floor w him and spit out the Bones. 👏
I don't think we'll have a 2024 election. And if we do, the winner/loser has already been chosen.
CG…I think you may be the only one awake here.

Hi Bandit! There are ups and downs…that’s life, right? I trust in God and my angels.

Loads of hugs coming your way, my friend! 🙏💒✝️❤💞
I believe this as well.
I agree. They'll do away with elections, period.
We already know what crap will be installed for us.

at the White House level, if you buck the system, you'll be given a dirtnap.
Disagree. TDS would make a fantastic POTUS.

None of them. I want Allen West.
Ron DeSantis.
Not in a hundred years. DeGov is not presidential material.
only b/c he's too uppity and does too much to defend his constituents from government fascism.
You mean he jacks off in front of mirror. There
Never would either of them go for that.
There is a electors issue with two candidates from the same state (think the 12th Amendment) so that won't work and neither would Rubio.
Get a law degree like me and you might be able to Understand the Constitution. I aced it. 😍
Didn't know law degrees came in boxes of Cap'n Crunch breakfast cereal these days...

Show me your Law degree, Skippy? Ahahaha you’re so ignorant you resort to baby ass language per usual. What does being Weak and Triggered feel like, Pup??🐶
Why do Progressive astroturfers always have such surly demeanor?
Is it a communications strategy? Perhaps xey hope to persuade the lumpenproletariat and the criminal classes that - although xey were born with a silver spoon in xir mouth and are totally out of touch - xir character at least is every bit as low as theirs.
Or maybe it's because xey know xey are a disappointment to xir family? All that family money squandered, all those years of sitting in class listening to elderly fake communists preach. And still, the best job xe could get is astroturfer, paid a few bucks per word to troll Substack. Quite shameful.
Vivek profited massively from the lipid nanotechnology platform.
Hard pass.
Not Tulsi Gabbard! She presents too well, too polished and too practiced. So what's really under there? Is she really a patriot or is she a patriot because it looks good? JD Vance or Byron Donalds. They're both needed where they are though. Vivek for Press Secretary!!
Put Vivek in charge of getting rid of all the 3 letters.
That will probably be Kash Patel, John Ratcliffe and maybe another... in some order.
That’s a pipe dream. You cannot get rid of any Federal agency without at least 2 branches of government in your aisle, and ideally all 3. Then you need to start with a small agency nobody cares about, kill it completely, and salt that earth. Show that shrinking government can actually be done. Only then can you go big game hunting. No party has ever shrunk government, ever. And sadly, I don’t see Trump having the will, courage or coalition to actually try and do it. Although, if there’s ever a time to try it, it’s when you’re on the last term, which he would most certainly be if he wins.
Yeah, I know a nice dream!
KKK???
IMO she's a plant because she's a graduate of the WEF's Young Leader program.
That's the other thing. Thanks - I knew I was leaving something out! We already have too many of those b@stards in the gov't as it is! The expression "intuitive repulsion" comes to mind.
I think she is a patriot but she is not the least conservative on many issues. Put her in change of the VA.
Byron would have the same issue as Rubio, RDS... same state. Electors can't vote for two candidates from their state. Think it's the 12th A.
Well that sure does what a vacuum cleaner does! Oh well. I wouldn't want Rubio though. Yuck.
Quite frankly it is unclear what Trump actually believes so I say Tulsi Gabbard makes the most sense. Seems like she would get the most independents to vote Trump since she was a former Democrat and she actually makes coherent statements even though I don't always agree with her.
If we voted tomorrow, Trump would win by alot- i think he should not choose based on bringing in votes. It should be based on qualifications for the job.
Roger Stone certainly likes her, so that's a positive IMO.
Tulsi, hands down. Great messenger. Bold, brave, patriotic, knows how the corruption works, young, attractive, independent, serves our military, non-warmonger, but outspoken on the threat of radical Islam, not a lunatic abortion ban zealot, Hindu/Catholic and… drumroll… calming. She wins the youth,suburban female, normal men, Jews, Asians, blacks, fed up Dems and a lion’s share of Conservatives.
oh you hadda say attractive you misogynistic weirdo
Mea culpa! I can’t even attribute it to being PMSEDWTFLGBTQ666 as a DEI waiver. Or “ Androgynous For Hamas”.
Tulsi is absolutely hated by the left. She’s a fan of Modi, vocally anti-Islamist Extremism, supports Israel’s right to self defense, is pro-secure, sovereign borders, pro-women’s sports,anti-warmongering and military adventurism, honest, a devout Hindu who is very respectful of Christians, but believes nobody should be condemned if they opt not to align with any particular religious ideology and is pro-choice within sane parameters. Angering the far-religious right.
And she continues to identify as Independent. She’s perfect for the part.😂And she has cool hair.
Ew.

Solid Christian but not afraid saying “What the hell….” Sometime.
Here is what makes him TOTALLY unlike all others….our adversaries would fear him. Like Trump, there is something about him that lets them know they don’t want to mess with him.
Listen to him and watch his demeanor. The next Trump.
Interesting idea.
Sorry, the podcast is Off Leash.
I use luxxle search engine. Find his photos and bio.
It may be irrelevant, but I’m an old professional athlete. It doesn’t hurt for a man to be in good physical condition. Is it part of the fear factor? He is an Alpha male with shoulders bigger than his waste. He still jumps out of perfectly good airplanes. I am so tired of soft beta males in our politics and more especially in our pulpits.
I’ll play the game Mary Mc, and consider candidates, but I doubt seriously the election will take place. We do what we can. We prepare for anything and everything. We pray up. Then we step behind The Commander of Heaven’s Armies. He’s got this.
I don’t know him but your description makes him sound like a great choice.
I’ll have to check him out.
he is Betsy DeVos' little brother.
she can’t find her way out of a paper bag
I doubt you will be disapointed. Worth giving a closer look.
I don’t know anything about him but I’m from Australia. I like Ben Carson and Tulsi Gabbard. But, from your comment your pick sounds good!
Totally understand, Glenda.
I TRUST him. He knows what is going on in the world and how to deal with it.
Again, it is the fear factor. Not ONE of the proposed politicians would strike fear into the CCP and international thugs. Prince would do that.
He has a podcast called Unleashed. I have seen him on no one’s list so I’m a lone voice.
Best to you.

he's had some "issues" and gave up the reigns of Blackwater under duress. That might be an issue.
Sarah and then so what if Trump doesn’t last.
She is clearly aware of the DC mess and well known and smart and courageous
She just became the Governor and I doubt she would abandon that office so soon. She's smarter than RDS was.
I see she and/or Lara Trump running in the future and I could vote for either.
