Given the recent discussions about a potential Vice President pick by Donald Trump, several people have asked for my perspective.
Because I look at the office of the presidency slightly different than most, and specifically because the real challenge that needs to be addressed is located deep inside each institution of government, my perspective on the running mate is somewhat different than most.
The Vice President is the safety mechanism for continuity of government in the event that something happens to the President.
Additionally, for the unique nature of the 2024 election, the VP pick technically becomes the 2028 MAGA candidate by default and general intention. Therefore, the selection of Trump’s running mate holds a greater weight of importance given the single term objective.
The primary factor of President Trump’s pick for VP should be, who will be the 2028 nominee.
Prior to President Trump’s first term in office, traditionally the role of the Vice-President, the actual tasks they are assigned to carry out, were generally ceremonial in nature. However, President Trump approached the VP role differently, and gave substantive policy initiatives to Vice President Mike Pence. [Pence proved he was not a good executive]
It should also be remembered that another unique aspect to President Trump’s term was his control over every of aspect of economic policy and trade. This level of economic focus, with controls completely retained by President Trump, was then used as a mechanism to influence President Trump’s foreign policy.
As stated by several Trump economic officials when describing the Trump doctrine, “economic security is national security.” The America-First outlook was a domestic economic focus, used as a lever to influence foreign policy activity.
As a consequence, the President Trump economic team was extremely stable throughout his term. USTR Robert Lighthizer, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, CEA Chairman Larry Kudlow and Trade/Manufacturing Advisor Peter Navarro all worked in close coordination on their specific assignments that were instructions from President Trump.
The globe was broken into two general regions, west (Pacific) and east (Atlantic). Lighthizer was assigned eyes and trade policy toward Asia, while Ross assigned trade policy toward Europe. The total team were in close communication at all times and Donald Trump made every important decision for the econ/trade team. The team carried out Trump’s agenda; it was a very effective approach.
The reason I mention this economic and foreign policy aspect is because there’s little doubt this would again be the focus of President Trump in a second term. Trump is likely going to be the driving force of economic policy and foreign policy, in granular detail again. The VP needs to learn how Trump does it so effectively, so that MAGA continues into 2028.
Meanwhile, all of the other agencies need serious wolverines at the helm, fearlessly chewing down the mechanisms of, (a) the intelligence apparatus; and (b) the controlled bureaucratic and administrative state.
No executive can micromanage the details of this scale, the office of the president can only support their efforts and provide tools and resources for the dismantling.
Knowing this, and fully understanding the skills, strengths and weaknesses of each potential VP selection, I look at the Big Picture through the prism of who do I want at the helm, that has enough loyalty to ensure the deconstruction takes place and/or continues and holds the integrity/fortitude to provide me some measure of assurance. I guess this is the proverbial trust factor, only this time it’s even more important.
Right now, only one person hits that level of integrity for me, Dr. Ben Carson.
I trust Dr Ben Carson to understand the MAGA vision; to understand how the MAGA vision becomes manifest through policy; and, more importantly, to stay true to the MAGA vision if called upon to execute.
Perhaps there is someone else with the loyalty trait, the principal trait, the integrity trait, and the practical trait to continue after 4 years; however, if there is such a person, they don’t jump readily to mind.
The other cabinet members would all have big jobs, and none of them can come from the traditional system within DC. They need to be wolverines baring teeth and ready to start the “retribution phase” on day one.

Something like that….
IMHO, part of the ‘weakness’ of Trump’s first term was his inability to understand the powers that were against his presidency, and so he often incorporated such actors into his administration….Pence, Pompeo, Milley, Barr….names that have exposed their ulterior motives and alignments after Trump was removed from office. I have to hope that his understanding of the machine that he is up against is far better now, than it was during his first term.
Amplifying your excellent perception, as a Newbie to the Presidency, Trump relied on the recommendations of people he thought he could trust. Sadly, too many had their own quiet agendas and steered Trump into appointing steaalth agents working against the President..
Sundance has an interesting list, but Trump needs a state of mind that measures each of these people continually to flag personal ambition and deviation. With two sets of eyes (Trump/Carson) on the top administrators. rogue policies won’t all be intercepted, but certainly far more than in his first administration.
If you knew….you should of brought this information to President Trumps attention. But Nooo…
Monday morning quarterbacks are a dime a dozen. They all lecture us with their brilliant “should have done this or should have done that” but always long afterwards with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight.
What every hindsight critic of President Trump shares with all the others is a failure to acknowledge his publicly stated admissions of being surprised by the breadth of self-interested people among the DC establishment and his expanded awareness of this rampant disloyalty. He learned but what he did not tell us in so many words was that he used several of these people expecting them to undermine him in order to expose them and those with whom they collaborated.
It became apparent to me by 2018 that PDJT was operating with eyes wide open and was simply letting the subversive operators around him hang themselves (figuratively speaking) in front of the electorate. Pence was a prime example, as was Bolton and others. Trump used them each for a purpose and then after they exposed their disloyalty he fired the ones he could. Pence was not subject to the President’s will to be fired but he publicly “hung himself” on January 6 and afterwards when he spoke against the President.
x1000 agree with this assessment. excellent strategy on PDJT part
👍👍
Treepers also figured out that when President Trump said “drain the Swamp”, he did not mean that he would rid DC of the “black hats”, the subversive anti-constitutional traitors who have been working against our freedoms and rights. We realized that “drain the Swamp” meant (figuratively) that he would “drain out the murky swamp waters” so that the vile creatures (corrupt & criminal politicians and Deep State employees) that were operating in the murkiness were suddenly exposed to sunlight so that formerly unaware people would see these crooks.
In essence the same as sunken ships becoming visible when severe droughts occur and water level on lakes drastically go down.
Superb, GB.
President Trump’s deep love of this country includes a respect for the Constitution. When he placed his hand on the Bible and swore the oath to follow it, this he did. Perhaps the only one in DC required to take that oath for their respective offices to do so.
I think one reason the whole Deep State apparatus and their fellow travellers hate him with a white hot hatred is that they, in the deep recesses of their reprobate minds, know they are traitors and worse. President Trump’s presence is a mirror they recoil from looking into because they are forced to see what they are not. Much better for them to have someone like themselves in the Presidency…much more comfortable, all the better to be able to deny that they are completely devoid of any moral rectitude or principle or honour.
We will never know what was going on in President Trump’s mind during those four years as all the powers of the Deep State conspired against him…as one by one, persons near to him whom he trusted took out their sharpened knives to betray him and us.
My dear mother in law had a saying. You don’t have to tell everything you know…
That we will never know precisely is what makes President Trump the greatest President we will ever have, as well as the most formidable against our adversaries, just as he is as a businessman. Life is just a series of harsh lesson. Keeping one’s own counsel should be lesson Number One.
I believe he has never told everything he knows…and isn’t about to start now.
It will be interesting to keep on watching him. Perhaps one day history will make all things clear.
Betsy, thank you and GB for articulating President Trump’s thoughts and actions during his first term. He could not have survived as a dictator, taking on the press and Deep State head-on.
I believe that President Trump has now drained the swamp sufficiently to really burn the exposed garbage. He now has MAGA squarely behind him.
Monday morning quarterbacks need to sit at the end of the bench and observe and learn. President Trump should not be expected to tell us everything he knows.
And a dictator he would have been. We’ve had two of those…and look where we are…
If he were ever afforded a name to define his presidency, I think an appropriate one would be to call him “The Enigma President”.
And as an aside, that one above of President Trump during trade negotiations, his back turned with Lighthizer and Mnuchin grinning like cats that swallowed canaries, is perhaps of all the photos I love of him my absolute favourite!
A perfect example of having not told everything he knew.
Power personified.
On point, as usual! 😁
Your MIL was very wise. Having had several family members who worked deep in Security operations for large private entities or govt. entities, I repeatedly heard that wisdom and variations of it for many decades.
Advice I took to heart, dear friend…and then passed on to my three, and again to three of my grands old enough to understand…repeatedly.
Which reminds me…
As two of them head out into this wicked world, time for one final instruction. One can never say it too many times 😎
President Trump has often echoed your mother in-law’s wise words.
Good comments, GB and Betsy
GB.,,
A good responce to the tired, worn out criticism…
hindsights the firstbthing you see, when you jerk yer head outa yer ass, lol.
I DO think it was a combination, he WAS surprised at the depth, I think we all were,..
As for Pence “hanging himself” , ..be still my heart if only.
Totally agree. the quarterback’s quarterbacking is clear indication to me they still don’t get it.
Amen to that observation!
I was really disappointed by Mad Dog Mattis. I wanted him to be MAGA.
I was disappointed at minimum and truly lost all respect for ALL military brass who dissed Trump but embraced the anti-American, anti-Constitutional totalitarian globalist multinational corporate & banking cabal who seized power via the massive election fraud in 2020.
Our military has seriously failed to uphold their oaths and those officers should be tried for treason.
“Should HAVE,” not “should OF”
Seriously? That’s your contribution?
With each betrayal by the previous appointees, we have seen a process where the few people who knew that an appointee was a snake, and told us, were attacked and ostracized. The ostracism was always lead by true believers.
But gradually, those who called out the snake yet stuck around, would see support build as snake like behaviors began to accumulate and the believers began to doubt.
Eventually, the deepest of true believers would be the last hold outs as the nature of the snake became obvious and most could see it biting. It takes a lot to overcome such true belief.
In short, many did warn us here at TCTH. And we didn’t listen.
And it wouldn’t have mattered if we did. Trump isn’t consulting us. And we barely have any contact with those he does consult.
Often, people full of warnings get dismissed as Cassandras. Or as sources of negativity that only get in the way of getting good things done.
But we had an almost religious zeal that held Trump could do no wrong. And thus we missed the deep resistance to Trump that schemed to make sure he could not do any right.
Still, Trump did much that is right. And we want him to have the benefit of a truly supporting cast.
But never forget that he will be surrounded by worms trying solely to advance themselves and will continue to face neverending resistance of the deep state. That is the nature of the Swamp.
But don’t expect our wishes and warnings to have an effect on what happens. Our prayers maybe.
Don Surber put out an excellent article today about just those worms. They flat out tell you they will worm themselves into power so PDJT will be unable to accomplish what he wants. I loathe the MSM.
He is given a list who the senate will vote for..That is the real problem…
This is the key insight. More generally, Republican efforts to make Trump fail. The big question: how does Trump overcome his own party?
Bingo..you unfortunately nailed it
I’ve been saying this for years. It’s political gamesmanship
Probably lots of problems getting that crew confirmed by the Senate. Unless there is significant influx of new MAGA senators the extant Uniparty will do their damndest to derail every wolverine.
That IS a major issue, both for VP, where the RNC will try to FORCE another Pence on him, and for his cabinet where Senate Repubs, assuming they retain the position as majority, will try to fill his cabinet with traitors.
For VP, just defy the RNC by announcing a pick he KNOWS they would Veto, if consulted first.
As fot his Cabinet, recess appointments, if he has ONE MAGA Senator will ing to defy the leadership..or temp appointments, OR have enough material to blackmail McConnell/Thune with,..or,..
Bottom line is the Cabinet Secretaries actually have limited power, they GIVE the orders, but it is the beurocracy, several levels below the Cabinet level that actually does or doesn’t carry out the orders.
PDJT has only spoken in generalities about how he intends to clean out D.C.,…however articles in Axios and Politico, and probably fed info from I/C paintca far more detailed picture, and if you can ignore the leftist slant are probably fairly accurate.
A new admin has at least 3000 to as many as 10,000 positions in DC it can fill.
There are the initial new admin hires, political appointee positions, there are additionally filling vacancies in the beurocracy left open by the previous admin, and replacing retirees,..and even creating new positions.
In addition, PDJT has stated his intentionbto expand the already survived court challenge program for firing VA employess, to apply to the whole of the admin.
Hence he will have lots of positions to fill and apperently already has a ‘headhunter’ program in place, complete with headhunters that will be seeking, identifying and placing MAGA people in these positions that are well below Cabinet level, where the actual WORK is done.
My only issue with Carson is age. I’d see him as running CDC, NIH or FDA. They need a thorough housecleaning. Also, Flynn for DOD. Grinnell would check the box for 2028 continuation in my view as VP. Perhaps Trump’s DNI in first term for SOS.
From your keyboard to Trumps eyes!
It’s 2024 or nothing.
Making decisions / choices based on 2028 might not be a good idea. 🤔
Kari Lake maybe for press Sec……and I still like Steve Mnuchin, hope he gets a prominent spot…….
Of course we’ve got to get Trump over the finish line first.
Navarro hates Mnunchin and explains why often on the war room. Steve was not MAGA.
I could not agree more your picks are my picks.This is his chance to move in andtake control.Thomas Massie and Ron Paul are excellent choice.I was told by a very close person to Trump that when he played golf with Rand he got to hear Rands fathers take Audit the Fed etc. I am praying on this.
Love Navarro, Lighthizer, the Pauls, Paxton, Gaetz, heck even Palin. Kennedy Jr. I don’t trust.
Also liked Russ Vought and Trump’s pastor friend Darrell Scott.
Love the slate presented; I agree with all.
Except Dr. Carson for 2028 POTUS run, age may be questionable. Four years as a very active VP will take a toll IMHO.
But then again if the perfect VP to run with Dr. Carson is in place…….just thinking out loud.
The slate is perfect.
Wish there was room for Flynn and Rogers; with their military backgrounds…..
Maybe Flynn and Rogers can have very important advisory or under Secretary roles.
M:y mind is blown with the spot-on recommendations. Hope Trump reads this. Agreed that we need “serious wolverines” at the helm. !!!
Hindsight is 20/20. As always, your comments are right on the as money. Great selection!
Hindsight is the first thing you see, when you jerk your head outa yer *ss!
That could do it …
Man, Sundance, you are a forward thinking fella! I am not surprised given the ineptitude of this current third term of BHO our resident Marxist… Boy this will get them to squealing!
Someone that can stand the fire. Kari Lake?
Yes….I lady with Nads!!!
Oh SNAP…you are correct!
Carson is too old and too nice. We need new blood. An intelligent female might be worth considering. They’re more than 50% of the population after all. Flynn is definitely for DOD. I like Gaetz for FBI Director. Must get someone solid to head CIA. We’ve almost lost the country. Time to kick ass and take names!
NO Females !! Ugh.
Because men have done such an outstanding job running this country ?
It seems to me that the inclusion of women everywhere from vote to armed forces has been an unmitigated disaster. The neglect of the most important job of them all, the HOMEMAKER, and the destruction of the family goes hand in hand.
Men have not done an outstanding job running any country. And the addition of women to the mix has certainly makes things worse.
Sarah is female
Well, aren’t you the open-minded one? Let’s go ahead and strike Sarah Palin, Kari Lake, Elise Stefanik, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kristi Noem, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders from any consideration for anything ever. After all, “ugh”, they’re yucky girls.
I LOATHE Nancy Pelosi, Kathy Hochul, Katie Hobbs, Liz Cheney, the squad, etc etc–but not because they are female.
(. . . ) “Let’s go ahead and strike Sarah Palin, Kari Lake, Elise Stefanik, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kristi Noem, and Sarah Huckabee Sanders from any consideration for anything ever.” (. . . )
Not from anything ever, but certainly from government/authority positions.
For many years in my youth I hesitated joining either political party, they both seemed mean to me. I grew up in a Democrat Catholic neighborhood where neighbors helped each other, children were good humans, and someone was bad in the neighborhood, people drove them out. Of course this was when Democrats were for the working man, my dad being a crane operator, and most others in the community were working in the mills or the construction trades.
As I aged I realized that Repuglicans were truly mean people, and Dems were nuts, where I’m at today, the stigma of the elite only caring about themselves, a Paul Ryan type comes to mind, it’s all become sad to me.
I wasn’t raised with liars, cheats and criminals, I still have a very hard time with this, truly I do. Recently doing some volunteer work with community orgs I see close up the seniors who have no food, no pensions, and no money, none of the people who volunteer there are concerned with politics, only with helping people–Amen
I know about kicking ass, we’ve owned businesses, but if people don’t start loving people again, I don’t see the country improving.
Hoping you all had a blessed Christmas, we did!
“but if people don’t start loving people again, I don’t see the country improving.”
Excellent point.
It starts with obeying GOD.
That is where we learn to love one another.
If people obey GOD, everything else comes together.
Unfortunately, people in both parties refuse to even take time to open the Bible and read what God would have them do, and too many who do take a moment to read a little…….don’t want to obey.
God designed us.
God made us.
God knows what we need more than we do.
We must do what He says, otherwise…….nothing works right.
Bravo Sundance!! Cannot disagree with anyone you have put on the list. I just felt a a breath of pure air and exhilaration sweep over me. Thank YOU! It’s an all at once list for Making America Great Again.
“Meanwhile, all of the other agencies need serious wolverines at the helm, fearlessly chewing down the mechanisms of, (a) the intelligence apparatus; and (b) the controlled bureaucratic and administrative state.”
BE THE HONEYBADGER
an excellent analisis, I would not count out NC Lt Gov. Mark Robinson as his choice for VP.
Only woman I would trust running the country – My granddaughter who has had half of the right side of her brain removed and is 5 and non verbal.
My choice Rand Paul for VP…
He voted to not give PDJT the wall.
Sundance, you really missed the mark on this one. Vivek as Defense Secretary? This guy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Another Obama. Marjorie Taylor Greene as Interior Secretary? I don’t think so. Too many RINOs on that list.
What about Mike Flynn? He should be on the list because he knows where to begin dismantling the DOJ. Several others were also overlooked. Pease remove the RINOS and redo the list with better cabinet members.
Agree I can’ t agree with this list, too many DC insiders, lots of names not on the list that I would like to see,…and the priority is IMHO wrong.
Priority #1 for VP, that subsumes all others is “Insurance againstvremoval from office”, and Ben Carson just doesn’t invoke fear in Nevertrumper RINOS or Conmunist Dems, I/C or MSM.
Kari Lake, stepping into the Oval, on the other hand has them wetting their drawers and running for safe spaces.
With her as VP, they would have one of their greatest weopons for hamstringing PDJT, i.e. the threatvof Impeachment, taken off the menu.
Many here have expressed fears they will “Jfk” PDJT, and that too, is off the menu with KL as VP.
For the campaign, SHE could be the traditional “attack dog” and allow PDJT to step back from the fray and “be more Presidential”.
Mind you, KL fully fits the bill of the requirement Sundance expresses; she is loyal and after a 4 year appreticeship, would be primed for 2028.
My thoughts exactly Dutchman!
Donald Trump Jr has my approval. Nepotism to the maximum!!!!
Trump 2028!!!
I like DT Jr as an option for 2028.
But, there’s no way that the nepotism would be accepted by enough voters in 2024.
Fortunately, DT Jr. would not need the platform of having been the veep. He would be the immediate MAGA frontrunner in 2028 regardless, should he choose to run.
With Dr. Carson as veep in 2024, he could be the perfect choice – able to do the job well, but his age would be the perfect “out” to gracefully step aside for DT Jr in 2028.
Dr Carson is the most rational choice. He does zero harm and I dare intelligence to accuse him of Russia Russia Russia et al. The man is walking Jesus Christ, as is trump. Love this idea.
Trump is NOT walking Jesus Christ. That is unhealthy and boy are you going to be heart broken at some point. Flawed humans will do that to you.
I understand your hyperbole but that comparison will ruffle too many feathers. How about another Biblical figure for President Trump? There are many that saw the light.
I’ve met Dr.Ben……so kind , so peaceful and I’ll bet Melania loves his wife. She is a sweetheart. It is the perfect ticket for the next 4 years.
Wow! Most revealing of CTH’s selections of potential cabinet members for a POTUS 47 Trump administration. Still trying to take it all in. Would have liked to see Tucker Carlson’s name in there somewhere. Any further thoughts on that?
Tucker is excellent at what he does.
Trump is excellent at what he does.
Neither would be as good if they swapped roles.
Trump being Trump, and Tucker being Tucker would accomplish quite a bit.
Tucker cutting through the media garbage as only he can provides info and insight, and exposes the media lies. He is necessary in the role he plays.
At least that’s how I see it.
Well said!
Tucker as press secretary…oh those White House press briefings would sure be entertaining.
Where is Cash Patel? Kari Lake? On this list?
MTG? Super surprised by this pic….
Robert Kennedy Jr should be over healthcare…although I appreciate that he knows the CIA killed his uncle and father…and would be interested in dismantling them.
A BIG no to Vivek
No to MTG and Matt Gaetz as well.
We have 1 term to put a dent in the Deep State 4th branch before Trump has to swap out. And right now, barring a real Red Wave, we can’t count on the Legislative branch to support him. So we really only have about 2 years to be effective.
So the dismantling needs to occur purely within Executive branch regulatory change. The heads of each agency needs to change, about 3 or 4 levels deep, if you want to change the culture. And that will require focus, micromanagement, and a lot of “you’re fired!” But that as soon as that happens, Lawfare will attack, so it is imperative that DOJ is cleansed first. If you don’t have their back, it will be Russia Russia Russia crap all over again, kneecapping Trump’s ability to function.
Realistically at most 18 months…
You know what? That is exactly my list of greats.
Wow! That would be a dream slate of Maga officials. My ideal for vp has been Dr. Ben Carson for the last year or so.
Despite the fact that Trump was more often than not shoveling shit against the tide, he accomplished things beyond our wildest dreams; that said, he’s no longer wandering in the forest alone.
My only “whoa” moment reading that list was your CIA choice-RFK, Jr. I’m not so sure that he’s not a wolf in sheep’s clothing–he talks a good game but he’s still a Kennedy and that clan cannot be trusted.
Exactly ALL these dynasties need to be cleansed from govt
Lot of six-kissing going on in these comments. Not buying this list at all.
More than a little disappointing- from several choices on the list beginning with Carson, down to the syncophants in the comments. I thought CTH was better than this.
Keep reading,…not all of us are on board,…you have to LOOK for “the minority report” lol.
Yes I do see some, but the overall gushing is disturbing at best- more like nauseating.
excellent choices……every single one
I’m a day late on this post but my 2 cents. 47 better pull a “clinton/bush” on day 1 and fire all/most of the US justice department attorneys and replace them with his own picks. He better start on that replacement list NOW!!
Better to fire them all and invite all of them to reapply.
I’d also want to see Noem at Interior, Lake (unless she is gov of AZ), Flynn at CIA.
Tulsi Gabbard . . . please
The wannabe gun grabber? Hell no.
I’m good with those choices
I want Sarah Palin for VP, President in 2028, and Ben Carson in NIH or CDC, where he can stop all of the current and future planned scams. It is what he was born for.
Sarah is battle tested, she’s America First, and she will help Make America Great Again. She made Alaska Great Again, just think what she could do with a Presidency. She has the same tiger energy as President Trump. They are on the same level in forward thinking and planning. We need to drill, baby, drill in Alaska and she would be invaluable to quickly connecting and closing those loops again as well.
I have no interest in Vivek or RFK Jr., and especially not in the CIA.
Thomas Massie would have to lick someone’s boots, a position he knows well, before he ever steps foot in the White House, but I could see him for Ag something. UNLEASH our farms and farmers.
MTG, not so sure about. I think she’s majorly compromised. Her own fault. Way too close to Kevvie boy.
And Sarah could team up with Sarah for 2028.
Kari Lake for Press Secretary.
This is a fun mental exercise and a spirited wintertime blog post.
But I have no confidence that there will even be a U.S. presidential election in 2024.
Really?
Yes, its easy to SAY our enemies are ignoring the Constitition, etc. …
However, in reality we do not YET live in a dictatorship, such as N. Korea or Iran,…we are in this weird in between place where they continue to maintain the ILLUSION of choice.
So, they use some pretext to “suspend” the 2024 election,…how does that WORK, exactly?
The election is not JUST for POTUS/VPOTUS, it includes both other Federal offices (Congress) and State, County and City offices as well.
As there is NO legal provisions in place for ‘suspending’ elections, and no precedent all of those elected officials currently ‘serving’ as Mayors, County officials, Governors etc all the way up to POTUS, simply have their terms expire, with no legal path or authority to extend them.
Basically it means our Government effectively resigns en mass, and surrenders any pretence of legitimacy.
Such a move would by far serve OUR interests, far more than the tyranists, as it would give us the justification to say “Your not the boss of me!’ and, en mass to withdraw our consent.
So, respectfully those who suggest THEY will ‘suspend the elections’ really haven’t thought it through; its just plain silly.
Yes there are.
And Marxists do not think. They react through emotion according to the opportunities they perceive are open before them.
One need only recount their attempts to diminish their enemy, the former president, in the minds of the electorate. They “calculated” and have failed miserably.
Fact: there are more than 10 million troops, many of whom are military-aged males, waiting in place on our land, hidden, dependent on and devoted to an illegal authority, their sponsor. Why and when?
I would love BEN CARSON as VP. A very thoughtful, deeply intellectual, faithful, Christian, clear eyed, gentleman. I’ve heard some complain that he is slow to speak, and slow to speak is what we need.
Oh and I also love the other picks. Mostly putting Robert Kennedy, JR in charge of the CIA. LOLOLOLOLOL. What goes around comes around!! Sarah in the EPA role. That would be splendid!! Drill baby drill! Matt Gaetz as FBI Director would be absolutely hilarious. Fire every single swamp rat.
GREAT LIST SUNDANCE!
Don’t trust Thomas Massie. Swap him for Clay Higgins.
So good.
Sadly getting the election cheating fixed has not happened. So realistically, hope is dim
Just can’t stand this thread without injecting your one minute of doom, eh? Sheesh.
Byron Donalds is a favorite for me. He seems genuinely MAGA and is young enough to serve all 12 years (four as VP, learning from Trump, then two terms as president) with the vigor required.
Does he have the fire in his belly to do this?
Why no Mike Flynn in the line up.
Vivek as VP…he is a take no prisoners fighter.
Dr. Carson is outstanding but does not contain the fire…
I agree on Ben Carson. Along with everything else, he would be a great envoy to our inner cities, which are in desperate need of a more positive Black image for youth than currently exists with our current VP and the Marxist/Commie Blacks now in control of almost every major US city.
“It should also be remembered that another unique aspect to President Trump’s term was his control over every of aspect of economic policy and trade. ”
It was and It wasn’t. President Trump was getting rid of the anti American anti capitalist policies. He was trying to allow the market place to regain control. He was beginning to allow the American Business Person a Chance to Compete. We need production brought back to the USA. The 2007 economic crisis was caused by government policies, and remember Too Big To Fail. Well, the banks are all much bigger. Everything is much bigger.
I believe Sundance has mentioned we are becoming oligopolistic. Big Banks, Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Retail need to be broken up into more competitive pieces. All the Departments and AlphaBets need to be shuttered. The measuring of results needs to be kept; so, going forward we can accurately determine where we are. There are no government statistics that are factual at this time. If Trump does not drive a stake into the evil that has enveloped us, it will snap back more evil.
I agree and think those are all the perfect reasons for having Peter Navarro on the team again. He was the only staff member to last the full term. He’s brilliant, tough as nails and got along well with “The Boss”.
Short of martial law, how can President Trump bypass the treachery of the globalist bootlickers in the Senate to “give consent” and vote for his cabinet choices?
You have more faith in Carson than I do. He is really smart. His heart is in the right place. But he is too soft.
Where’s Eric Holder and Susan Rice? You tell them to get rid of somebody or something and they are gone forever.
Ben Carson has many fine qualities. He’s both brilliant and wise. But can he be a bulldog like Donald Trump?
Wow, what a bench! I like the way you think, Sundance!
Love it!
