Who should be Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate? Though no one yet knows who it will be, many people seem to have an opinion about whom it should be. It’s a long list of possible names for the increasingly important vice presidential job, as the latest I&I/TIPP Poll indicates.
As part of our monthly national online poll, taken from May 1-3, we asked 538 Republicans, and those who lean that way, two questions about who they preferred as Trump’s vice president. The poll has a margin of error of +/-4.3 percentage points.
First we asked a straightforward question: “Who is your top choice for Trump’s vice president?”

Who are the numbskulls voting for Nikki Haley? Did these clowns not get enough backstabbing from Mike Pence?

And there likely are few actual Republicans who want DeSantis as VP. He turned on Trump and I won't forget that.

No way Nikki Haley is in the running. Vivek reminds me too much of a slimy used car salesman - telling you what you want to hear, not what he really believes. Looking at the number, DeSantis is the best choice. People like what he is doing in FL. If he would just tell the Repubs that were running the party to **** off.

The fact that Nikki Haley is even on this list tells me the list is a crock.

They must've polled a lot of Dems to get Haley that high on the list

I know PDT gets large crowds at his rallies, but there are a lot of unwoke Republicans out here. A lot of them still watch Faux, and they have no idea the election was stolen. Talk to your Republican friends and wake them up! We need more conservatives.

This just proves (encouraged by fox) people think DeSantis and Rubio would be eligible to be VP. Trump would be stuck with Harris, guerrenteed as vp no matter who the president is.

I missed #9 comment, it is good but but for the same reason He can't be Desantis nor Rubio as the running mate of Trump, unless he moves out of Florida.

I’m with #10. And that thing about the two candidates not being from the same state is tradition, not law. The 12th amendment took care of that.

Lots of really bad choices in that poll. Haley? REALLY? Super bad idea.
Sara Sanders would be a good choice, in my opinion. Very articulate on the issues, excellent public speaker and may bring some of the women voters, too. Smart lady.
Ramswamy? No way. He talks a great game, but has no real history to prove anything, and some Soros taint that hasn't been washed away.
DeSantis would be good but is needed in Florida.
Carlson? That's just a stupid idea.

these choices are horrid. dr carson and gen. flynn are legit. the rest are rinos backstabbers and backbenchers.
pdt's vp must be strong and loyal, and possess cast iron credentials for restoring important areas
-such as medicine and military. haley's con'td presence ,after what we've heard from pdt, suggests the poll
is not serious.

Going forward, it is VITAL to have a VP with a STRONG MILITARY BACKGROUND to reconstitue the American armed forces whose role will be more important than ever..

The first poll has Not Sure getting the highest percentage, which means most don't know or care.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders - current governor and was Press Secretary for Trump
Tim Scott - great story and decent guy
Doug Burgum - current governor of North Dakota and wealthy business man.
A key point will be someone who can articulate the message, not worry about the slings and arrows that will come their way, knowledge of the structure of government so you can get things done, and is able to discern who will be looking to row the boat in the same direction (avoiding those who look to undermine the administration).

I support General Michael Flynn. He's a man's man, like President Trump. And like President Trump he has already been through the machinations of the Deep State's maw...and survived. He's battle tested and has learned the enemy's tactics. He has skin in the game, shall we say. General Flynn is an experienced leader of men in arms, and will not fear to do what needs to be done. We need a vice president that will be able to continue the MAGA agenda for his own two terms as president, so that twelve years of MAGA will redirect the course of our country back to the Constitution in the same way the New Deal turned it away. A woman vice president is just not capable of the doing the job at hand. Our sex was not created for the tasks required in these times, at this level.
We need to look beyond this year's ticket. President Trump's VP pick will have to carry MAGA into the future. I believe General Flynn is that man.

Can the President and Vice President Be From the Same State?
A particular aspect of the Electoral College system has led to some confusion on this question.
https://www.history.com/news/can-the-president-and-vice-president-be-from-the-same-state
They can be from the same state. Remember, President and Vice President are now elected separately.
12th Amendmnt speaks to electoral college members.

Vital to haave strong military experience? I respectfully disagree. We have seen what military officers can do to our country's military.
