For Trump's VP

Original Article

Donald Trump is seriously considering Florida Senator Marco Rubio as his running mate, according to a new report. NBC revealed on Thursday that it had spoken with "six people familiar with the presumptive Republican nominee's search for a 2024 running mate" and that Rubio is now a serious contender. The outlet reported: "The list is long, and it's extremely early in any kind of process," one Trump adviser said. "No one has been directly reached out to yet, and I do not expect that for some time." But Trump's apparent seriousness about Rubio, a 52-year-old, third-term senator, hints at the former president's priorities

I'm sure I'll get booed down but I still like Sarah Palin. But I'll accept anyone Trump wants.

1. He’s a resident of Florida. VP must be from another state. Does no one read the Constitution? 2. Rubio is a Bushy. Pence II

Neither of Rubio's parents was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth. That makes Rubio a first generation Native Born Citizen, not a second generation Natural Born Citizen.

President Garfield was trying to heal a fractured party when he chose Chester Arthur for VP. What happened next is somebody in that faction of the party assassinated Garfield to drill down to the POTUS he wanted. You have to be careful your VP is not more appealing than you are. it is tricky for sure because Biden overdid it. But a thought question: If Agnew had not quit, if Ford had not become VP, would Nixon have been driven out? I think not.

Is there not a provision that the VP candidate cannot come from the same State? Some have said that is why Governor DeSantis could not be on the slate. Senator Rubio is also from Florida as well...

Florida is a safe state for the GOP. Surely, PT will pick someone who might help him carry a Swing State. I like Rubio and was supporting him in 2016 before PT swamped the competition. Love Ted Cruz but he was born in Canada and didn't want the squabble over where he was born. Whoever (or is it whomever) PT picks it will be a surprise to me. Personally I'd like Vivek because he would cut Heels Up to ribbons in a debate.

Not thrilled with this possible,pick. Trump needs an articulate and take no prisoners VP or democrats will absolutely destroy him or her. Four years is not going to get the job done and you have to have someone committed and willing to finish the course. Has he considered Josh Hawley? I really like him and he is sharp as a tack. I like Vivek Ramaswamy because he can articulate our agenda and can reach young people. I also like Kari Lake because she is fearless and will not back down and knows the media. Trump needs a warrior by his side because this war will not be won in four years.

Pure speculation because Trump has a large field of talent in line ahead of Marco. I too would like Sarah Palin as a VP or a cabinet member because she is a true American who went through the same mud-slinging that Trump has but she did not have the resources to fight it and McCain did not lift a finger to help her.

When Biden entered the Oval Office following the fraudulent 2020 presidential election (81 million votes…ROFL) he and his puppeteers immediately undid everything that President Trump put in place to secure our southern border. At the time, many Americans were dumbfounded. Don’t Biden and his puppeteers know what will happen if the border is left wide open? The answer is that destroying the United States was always the Democrat party’s plan. Having 10 million (and growing) illegal alien invaders is the easiest way to destroy America. It doesn’t matter to Biden & Company if some illegal invaders are injuring, raping, and murdering Americans. It doesn’t matter to Biden & Company if

In a lawsuit filed on Monday in U.S. District Court, Nevada Republicans accuse state and county officials of poorly maintained voter registration rolls, leading to inconsistencies. The Republican National Committee (RNC), Nevada Republican Party (NV GOP), and Washoe County voter Scott Johnston allege that the Nevada Secretary of State, Cisco Aguilar, and four local officials, including Clark County Registrar of Voters Lorena Portillo, are in violation of the National Voter Registration Act, a federal law requiring states to maintain accurate voter rolls. The GOP seeks a permanent injunction forcing the state to follow the law and improve its voter list maintenance.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) filed a motion Friday that could force a vote to strip the gavel from Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA). The motion is not privileged, which means the House will not immediately hold a vote on the motion. The procedural motion is the same one Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) used in October 2023 to end Kevin McCarthy’s speakership after only nine months.Greene filed the motion shortly before the House voted on a $1.2 trillion minibus spending bill. That 1,000-plus page legislation was released in the 2:00 a.m. ET hour Thursday morning, but Speaker Johnson held the vote Friday morning, violating rules intended to give lawmakers

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) passed a massive $1.2 trillion government funding plan despite the objections of the majority of House Republicans, violating the Hastert Rule and crossing the Rubicon into dangerous territory for the future of his speakership. House Republicans enacted the longstanding rule to prohibit Republican Speakers from colluding with Democrats to pass legislation. But Johnson sent the bill to the Senate despite the objections of 112 Republican colleagues, with only 101 Republican votes in favor, although Johnson and his leadership team applied significant pressure.

An academic group, Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), obtained some alarming data. In over 200,000 cases, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) failed to file the proper paperwork with immigration courts in Houston, Texas and Miami, Florida. The illegal aliens were issued a Notice to Appear (NTA) at the border, which creates a court date. However, DHS never filed the paperwork with the court. The asylum process can't move forward without filing the proper paperwork with the court. The court date rolls around and the asylum-seeker shows up. The judge doesn't have the paperwork so the case is dismissed.
