New Report Claims Trump Has Narrowed VP List To Three Surprising Names

LeadingReport posted on Twitter today that President Trump has narrowed his list of VP choices to three very surprising (if you ask me) names.

I’m not convinced this is accurate, but LeadingReport is not a small operation — they boast 364k followers on Twitter, so it’s definitely newsworthy for them to be making this claim.

And here’s the post:

BREAKING: Former President Trump is narrowing his choices for a running mate and is focused on three young U.S. senators, according to a GOP strategist with close ties to the campaign.

Sens. Katie Britt of Alabama, J.D. Vance of Ohio, and Marco Rubio of Florida are the top…

BREAKING: Former President Trump is narrowing his choices for a running mate and is focused on three young U.S. senators, according to a GOP strategist with close ties to the campaign.

Sens. Katie Britt of Alabama, J.D. Vance of Ohio, and Marco Rubio of Florida are the top choices, Ryan Girdusky said.

In response, I posted myself that I’m not totally buying this report:

I'm sorry but I'm calling BS on this….no way this can be true? pic.twitter.com/Gb8KznlD0z

No way that can be true, right?

At least I HOPE it’s not true!

Of that list, the only person even remotely acceptable is JD Vance, but he’s not in my Top 5 of choices.

And Katie Britt?

Really?

Before the SOTU, most Americans had no idea who she even was, and sadly AFTER the SOTU most Americans now know who she is and know she gave a pathetic and broadly-panned GOP response.

WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER MILQUETOAST VP!!!

Four years of Mike Pence was quite enough, thank you very much!

Give us Vivek.

Or Tucker.

Or Kari Lake.

or Matt Gaetz.

Someone who can actually get in there, kick ass, and make a difference.

But Little Marco?

Or Katie Britt?

You kidding me with this?

As to Marco, it’s commonly said that a President and Vice President cannot be from the same state.

That’s technically not exactly true. Here’s the exact analysis:

The U.S. Constitution doesn’t explicitly state that the President and Vice President cannot be from the same state. However, there is a practical reason related to the Electoral College process that discourages them from being from the same state.

Under the Twelfth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, electors cannot vote for both a President and Vice President from their own state. This means that if both were from the same state as any of the electors, those electors would be unable to vote for both candidates. This could potentially impact the outcome of the election if the state in question had a significant number of electoral votes.

While it’s not a legal prohibition, the practical implications of the Electoral College process have traditionally led presidential candidates to select running mates from a different state to maximize their electoral vote potential.

But I want to know what you think…..
