Treeper Question:
ICTHEMATRIX – […] “Related to the topic of discerning alignment via a question, I would like to sincerely ask you your thoughts on a very real possibility:
What are we to make of President Trump’s possible choice of Marco Rubio as his VP?
In many columns and pages, you have chronicled the multiple failure points of Senator Rubio…his service within the corrupted Intelligence committee, and his non-MAGA compromises. I fear this could become another massive moment of fatally poor judgement.”
The direct issue of the vice presidential pick of Donald Trump is a fun topic often discussed, because it can easily engage everyone.
The issue of Rubio, or ‘fill_in_the_blank‘, is not really that important to me; and before your jaw opens, I’ll explain why.
My personal preference is Dr. Ben Carson, for all the reasons I have previously mentioned {GO DEEP}. In this election, GOOD is going head-to-head against EVIL.
When I say GOOD -vs- EVIL, let me give context. These are the stakes.
Given the nature of potential nuclear weapon use, three simultaneous global conflicts (likely 4 with Taiwan), a looming World War III, hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of slaughtered people, the likely elimination of the dollar as the global reserve currency for around half the world, a dollar-based central bank digital currency created by the United States Treasury if Biden wins, the catastrophic consequences in the lives of ordinary Americans, and essentially the end of projected USA power and the economic security that goes with it, there may not be a familiar tomorrow if the election goes the wrong way. With that in mind, the lowest possible consideration in my mind is 2028.
Next up, put this thinking cream into your coffee as we sip through the thought processes.
They crossed the Rubicon in 2020 with 51 high ranking Gov Intel members purposefully and specifically lying to the public. Does everyone realize the scale of that, and what it meant when they took that position on such an openly visible lie right to our faces, using our highest-ranking government intelligence members? They don’t exactly come back from that; it was an all-in position…. and they did it. What does that stuff in 2020 tell you about 2024?
What they will do, based on what they have already done, is the stuff we should be thinking about.
Look at what they have done.
This doesn’t even touch on the forced vaccination and COVID madness where people literally stood outside of buildings while their husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, grandparents and children died alone, ALONE, because government people – the type who torture beagles for a living – said that isolation was what we needed to do…. because that was part of the predicate for manipulating an election.
Lawfare? Heck, that’s the least dangerous poison arrow in their death to the republic quiver.
That’s the 2024 context.
So back to the VP possibility and Marco Rubio.
I don’t have any idea who President Donald Trump will select. However, I can see him liking Senator Rubio, because Rubio is articulate, clean, relatively young, bilingual, has a family, is polite and well mannered, is cultured, is seemingly not in trouble, and he gives a good impression when he walks into the room and engages the guests. Rubio outwardly checks boxes that make him appear like a safe legacy consideration.
The downside is that Rubio is a manipulative liar, untrustworthy, speaks with forked tongue, fulfills the role of Brutus, or the “scorpion” perfectly, and seemingly has done stuff early on in his life that may have created the origination compromise. Beyond all that, the cherry on the corruption cake is his relationship with the Intelligence Community. Any SSCI Vice-Chair who can sit with SSCI Chairman Mark Warner as a “friend across the aisle,” can never, not for a single moment, be trusted. It’s just the reality of it.
That said, I genuinely don’t care who Trump selects as vice president. I have my preference (Carson), but I’m situationally ambivalent to the issue, because I view my preference for Trump’s mission as something totally different than most.
WE THE PEOPLE need to take back the power from our government. I want President Trump to operate every lever from the limited office of the presidency to give us the tools to take back that power. WE need to be the vice president, and WE need to be the force in 2028 that determines how the deconstruction of our oppression continues.
President Donald J. Trump is our weapon, our wrecking ball to start this MAGA process. We the People are the entities who need to support Trump, while keeping him fueled and fearless as he does it. Depending on how much deconstruction demolition Trump is able to achieve, the next phase of operational leadership will need a different skillset.
Last point – I don’t believe that President Donald Trump has “massively failed” at anything. I’m not going to backbite, judge or criticize the man in the arena, because he wears a different sandal or chooses a different weapon to fight the enemy. Look around, he’s all alone.
Go back to what I wrote in July, 2015, about Donald Trump. “Why I Support Donald Trump“… Long before anyone thought he had a chance, I explained the reason I would support him in 2015. [Part 2]
I said in 2015, if Donald Trump showed up to the August Fox debate in five-inch heels, a Carmen Miranda hat and started twerking the podium of Jeb Bush, I would vote for him even harder. …. Because Trump was the only one different than the set of characters organized to help Jeb.
President Trump isn’t the cause of the GOP problems; President Trump is the result of the GOP problems. President Trump is our weapon. From that perspective, there is no alternative. And yes, he is the ONLY alternative. Whether he makes mistakes or not is a moot point against the reality of him being the only alternative to a completely corrupt system. Think about it.
There are quite enough high-horse riders and keyboard warriors who do not understand the DC system criticizing Trump. They don’t need my help. I cheer our glorious bastard every day, because every ounce of his thinking and effort comes from a place of good intention. I do not doubt this fallible, flawed and simultaneously decent, strong, purposeful and resilient man.
Beyond 2024, Good is going to have to battle Evil, and at the same time our nation will need stability, optimism and a resurgence of faith. In short, no one is winning this political war without putting God, righteousness and prayer at the forefront, as the DC tables are overturned.
When it gets ugly, and it will get extremely ugly, something just inherently tells me, we will need Ben Carson.
Dr Carson is a great choice. Look how he handled The View when he was on it last week. Also calm and collected is his usual attitude. Just imagine the bleeding when you separate conjoined twins at the head. He can manage any political problem from his previous experience.
Totally agree. Still water runs deep and those who underestimate him do so at their own peril.
Carson is unflappable.
He handled hostile Congressional hearing with nasty Democrats with total aplomb and knew exactly where those Democrats wanted to go. He refused to get hooked or react to their attacks. He floated above then will substance, depth and integrity. He is awesome.
“WE THE PEOPLE need to take back the power from our government. I want President Trump to operate every lever from the limited office of the presidency to give us the tools to take back that power. WE need to be the vice-president, and WE need to be the force in 2028 that determines how the deconstruction of our oppression continues.”
Thank you, Sundance!
Thank you for including the letter from Franklin Graham. This is what we need.
To me, it puts it all in perspective and “folks” like Marco Rubio and Mike Pence seem tremendously puny and foolish.
WHY would there ever
-even be
the slightest possibility for a little man Rubio vp consideration???
Rubio would be used as a prop; a fake out to uniparty.
President Trump would have the goods on Rubio, so he could use that as leverage for Rubio to play ball; as President Trump sees fit.
Later…, a disgraced Rubio exposed.
-Has a Vice President ever resigned?
Thus, the destruction of any chance of a Rubio presidency.
Draining the swamp is key to MAGA
Spiro T Agnew resigned as VP for Nixon before Nixon resigned. Ford replaced both.
Floating a Rubio vp possible consideration
starts the process of elimination
by exposing the specific reasons
why he would be off the list.
Once a RINO, always a RINO! At this juncture, we can’t afford to make one mistake! Whatever happened to Matt Gaetz?
Here’s an idea, Mr. Trump—-let the voters decide🤔! Release your short list, have a vote from those of us who want our country back!! Then you will have a winner!
Let the voters decide for Trump who will be his VP candidate???
Really?
So, outside influence operations can flood the poll with a Trojan Horse candidate like they do with influence operations on conservative blogs with distractions and divisive causing tactics???? 👀
Or, is that the idea? 👀
And Gaetz, the one who gave us IC controlled Johnson for SOH? 👀
Trump knows better than anyone who he thinks his running mate should be, just like Sundance affirms with letting Trump be Trump in the above post.
❣️
No on “Little Marco”. Yes big time on Ben….Marco is without a doubt part of the deep state and he will play their hits if he ever gets in the WH. I do not believe he will be loyal, on the contrary, he’ll run deflections for the Rino’s and deep state….Carson has loyalty to Trump that no one else has and he’s obviously an intelligent and honest individule who loves America, but not it’s current politics for which Little Marco is a part of.
Wordman? You out there?
How about this as a campaign slogan?:
“Little Marco or Big Ben”….
Gary you are 100% on target.
👍🏻 good
No Marco!
hel* no to Rubio !!!!!VSGPDJT !!!!
The choice of an establishment friendly VP would assist the opposition rather than expose it. Ben Carson would be a good choice simply for his honesty. I would prefer Devin Nunez.
Trump doesn’t need a VP to draw votes.He needs a principled fighter who knows the corrupt IC as his wing man and successor.
Nunes is that person.
Nunes or possibly Zeldon.
Mr. President : HEY ! RUBE !!
Oh this is a surprise to me.
I guess Rubio to capture the hispanic voters? or the rino voters?
I do not really like Rubio, but there are worse and better obviously
There are also many very hesitant republicans that are rino-ish. Those are the ones that
might not vote for Ben Carson or anything close to maga type.
Those are the ones that are kind of thinking of holding their nose and voting for President Trump but mostly feeling pressured by all of the horrible crap being thrown at him so they might think that he is indeed a shady guy.
For example, one or two of my relatives loves rinos. so if a rino ran as vp, they would vote for Trump.
One relative just thinks Paul Ryan is the best person on the planet.
l can not have discussions with those people
Vice Presidents essentially have nothing to do, other than cast a tie-breaker vote in the Senate, which almost never happens. A duplicitous frenemy in the Senate who can’t be trusted can be effectively neutered by making him Vice President and sending him on a succession of nonstop goodwill missions to irrelevant non-player third world countries to bring back ceremonial headdresses and spears for the Smithsonian.
Whomever Trump picks he will do it for HIS own reasons as it fits into HIS plans. I agree with Sundance 100%.
Trump 2024
Please see: VP Pence as Brutus. Trump got stabbed by a VP during one of the rare times where his position raised his stature just a tad more than a potted plant.
Yes. And that is the potential problem with the analysis that justifies Rubio. Not a perfect world.
Rubio could have helped President Trump in recess appointments but like the rest did not.
I don’t trust him…he was on the Senate Intel committee with that scumbag Mark Warner….little Marco never came clean about the shenanigans that went on from that committee…
Last thing we want is another knife in the back of our Lion…a la Mike Pence and his doggy wife…
If it has to be a Senator, I’d go with J.D. Vance.
Rubio, the Hispanic version of rino.
My take is this. I see Sundance referred to Trump as “our weapon” and brings me back to the flat lands on predictions, where you can see for miles the future.
We get beat up by government so we retaliate with a “weapon” king to wipe out the corruption, except the king or dictator has his own agenda not so aligned with what we expect. In a panic they are put in power and all concern is thrown out for control. Kinda like a democrat does.
Which reminds me….we are all built the same and to ignore this is to our own destruction. Hate builds where ignorance is ignored.
If our president reflects it citizens, well I’d say “God help us” I’m just looking at the core values displayed during Covid plandemic. Everyone got to see what they’re made of. Most ran away from the truth and denied what they know resides within now. ‘That’ was the God kind of judgement. Where only you see what’s inside and it’s disgusting. That, was like the moment you are redeemed, and the everyday walk of salvation. Pruning and cutting away at ego.
Great summary of Rubio. I just listen to Tucker’s interview with Congressman Massey. Massey’s take on the critters that we supposedly elected; sounds like everyone of them are narcissistic dolts that are more interested in receiving praise and getting free double scotches at the local DC pub than being a public servant. More or less what Rush has said about them for decades, except they now are complicit in destroying the republic.
My take away know what I know now it the people that run for office are a special kind of self centered liar that has no conscience. Or better yet they have their own set of morals.
If we have a VP that the Deep State sees as a threat, similar to DJT, isn’t that somewhat of an insurance policy? Sort of like Kamala is to Joe Biden. I want someone that is a fighter to step in, if and when needed. It is important.
Personally I think that if The Donald chooses Rubio as VP he has done a deal…
i.e. you can have Comey , Clapper etc but if you f around with the CIA / FBI more than that we will JFK you or let Mercahn jail you for 136 yrs.
Marco?
NO GO!!!
I think Ben Carson would make a great VP for President Trump. However I like Ric Grenell for the position also. He has already proven to be an asset in the #44 administration, plus he is only 58 so he has time to make a 28 & 32 run to keep MAGA values going. He would also make a good SOS this go around. I don’t like or trust Rubio for Any political position. He is a McStain follower.
Trump is notorious for making poor decisions—in my opinion he should have gotten rid of Wray immediately!
If someone puts a feather in his cap, that person suddenly becomes his BFF! Nonsense!
Mr. Trump we are putting our country in your hands ONCE AGAIN, please don’t mess it up by choosing a RINO! Dr. Ben is massively intelligent, has/had your back and fears nothing!
Slamming Trump in your first two paragraphs?? 👀
Noted.
No constructive criticism allowed got us Doctor Fauci.
We didn’t get Fauci due to a lack of constructive criticism.
He was a protected civil servant who had ridden to the top over 4 decades and could not be removed.
Without a severe and blatant cause with overwhelming evidence, Fauci was going to have a role.
And you chose this to try and defend???
Apples and oranges.
President Trump may not have been able to fire Fauci (I think he could have!) but he certainly didn’t have to put Fauci on the center stage of the COVID-19 battle. The entire Covid-19 debacle revealed the complete corruption and incompetence of the Federal Government.
The Secretary of HHS was a figure head and had no control over the CDC, FDA and NIH.
“… revealed…”
Have you ever considered that might have been part of the reason?
How many have now been awakened that were not, nor ever would have been?
Just how many entities were arrayed against him and how they would have surely crucified him with the public in a panic.
Sometimes, things are not what they appear.
Just sayin
Where’s the eye?
“Trump is notorious for making poor decisions” President Trump decided to continue fighting for us. We people.
That was the 2nd greatest of all his ‘decisions’. The first was to run in the first place.
MAGA
Same applies to all the “sudden” $100 million single donations from donors that hate freedom and humanity.
You need to consider that maybe the problem is your limited ability to understood the plethora of dynamics that influences what President Trump does or doesn’t do. He juggles it all and continues to forge a path to victory.
Sure, he’s gotten bloody at times, but that is the nature of war. Where did you get the idea that taking our country back was going to be a walk in the park?
Like Bette Davis said, “Buckle up. It’s going to be a bumpy ride!”
You might also consider how pounding the “man in the arena” reflects on you.
Couldn’t Marco be compromised by ‘his’ IC? I remember a picture, there were bubbles in it I think.
Besides Marco being very much a swamp dweller, he just might be beholden to ‘6 ways from Sunday’… or what ever Chuck said.
We need Carson or someone who will be just as tough as Trump. The thing I am focused on is no incentive to assassinate Trump because his VP is going to be just as stubborn and tough. Name that comes to mind is already running for the Senate. Ben Carson, hopefully, would not be persuaded by RHINO’s. Trump’s security is all I am worried about, VP otherwise, is of less importance.
Rubio lost me with the Gang of Eight amnesty. A definite no on him. The only concern I have with Dr. Carson is his age, and maybe his quiet demeanor. We need someone who will be able to fight hard for 12 years. Nunes has proven his loyalty, Gen, Flynn would be a nice slap in the face, Donalds and Vance would also be good choices for the future.
Yes 12 years would give MAGA a good foothold.
Sundance this article so resonates with me and these last three paragraphs put the cherry on top for me! Thank you and God bless you!
“There are quite enough high-horse riders and keyboard warriors who do not understand the DC system criticizing Trump. They don’t need my help. I cheer our glorious bastard every day because every ounce of his thinking and effort comes from a place of good intention. I do not doubt this fallible, flawed and simultaneously decent, strong, purposeful and resilient man.

When it gets ugly, and it will get extremely ugly, something just inherently tells me, we will need Ben Carson.”
By the way I agree with you we do need Ben Carson and I am praying President Trump chooses him! As a correction to my post the last three paragraphs I referenced ended up in one but my point is that you really hit the nail on the head with this whole article! Again, thank you and God bless
I happened upon the movie “Gifted Hands: the story of Ben Carson” about a week ago. I would recommend it to everyone. It doesn’t delve into his politics, but it tells his life story from early childhood to his successful separation of conjoined twins. It is an outstanding movie, and Cuba Gooding’s portrayal was riveting!
My only question regarding him as VP, because he is brilliant, God fearing and clearly aligned with President Trump, would come if something, God forbid, happened to President Trump while in office, could Dr. Carson continue the work as effectively? I would like to think so, given his intellectual brilliance…maybe the master of all check mates.
At any rate, if you have the chance to see the movie, it would be time well spent. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thank you. Was not aware of this Movie. Plan to watch it tonight…
IMHO, its quite possible that never in our history has the VP Choice been nearly as important as for PDJT in 2024.
As kare508 is so fond of pointing out, obviously they are already positioning themselves to impeach PDJT should he be declared the winner, and this time they are NOT going to wait until the midterms, and as they have ecposed with Ryan, and reiterated with Johnson, they can flip the House as easy as changing their tie.
Hence, voting in RINOS will NOT prevent the House from flipping, and a Dem House imitiating an impeachment even as PDJT is being inaugerated.
ONLY an Insurance policy VP, one seen by his enemies as being SO toxic that they would rather “deal” with PDJT, than with his successor will take Impeachment or any method of removing him from office off the table.
And, its NOT “theoretical” as we can see it with Joe and Karmala, as bad as Joe is, the enthusiasm for impeaching joe is blunted, knowing who is “a heartbeat away”.
I believe only ONE possibile candidate, umiquely has this “insurance policy” quality, and frankly if thats ALL she had, it would single her out as THE only possible one.
Mitch is machievellian, and thinks years ahead.
He did not send the offer to KL to “not run for any office in 2024” because he wanted to keep her out of the Senate.
Mitch has easier, less costly ways todo that. Its because he foresaw that PDJT MAY win in 2024, and that if he did, plans to immediately impeach him would be thwarted, if KL was the VP that would replace him.
Prescient, and that (McConnell’s attempt and apparent fear, which is also a reflection of the fears of the DS IC) is why I prefer KL over Carson by just a little bit, though I would be ok with either.
As I also expressed on the previous page.
Carson or Vance
Intelligent and well suited to deal with people and issues
“He is all alone.” hmmm…. I’m looking for a button or hat that says “I am Trump.” ala Spartacus but with a great ending.
Carson is good in a Good v. Evil showdown. But he is also Nice. And nice gets steamrolled in the blood sport of politics.
The Swamp isn’t afraid of nice guys. And that goes against what I believe is the Trump VP qualification. Trump’s VP MUST provide him life and impeachment insurance.
The Swamp will take Trump out any way it can and must if he overcomes their rigged elections. Impeachment Hoax #3 may just do the job. Or a JFK solution to their Trump problem. This is the real-est concern for any VP selection.
And that means his VP must be an even more feared candidate than Trump. I don’t have my own suggestion of who that is. Many frauds and phonies abound who ride Trump’s MAGA coat tails.
But I do know that a nice candidate is preferable to a fighter not concerned with being liked. A Good Bastard, liked less than Trump, and fearsome. That’s who Trump’s VP choice must be.
On The View, Dr. Carson was asked the question . . . why can’t “Trump” just be nice?
Referring to his own campaign, Dr. Carson replied, “I did nice and look what it got me.”
Flynn, Lake, Paxton all fighters, battle tested fit the bill. It is a time for the fighters.
One other reason I personally favor Dr. Carson…in the way back machine of politics of the race road….The Honorable Clarence Thomas did not really have to pursue dignity once he became a USSC Justice as his title gave him that….oh he had to prove himself somewhat…where as Dr. Carson had to prove himself every day, in the world of medical politics because there was someone who was always waiting to tear down this highly intelligent and talented BRAIN SURGEON.
He has perseverance and staying power…just like Trump….in his own way, he has lived the politics of hate and will be very adept at the job at hand.
Dr. Carson is a head and shoulders above the others given his grace and dignity….am thinking Miss Manners would just love him to pieces! And Mrs. Carson, who is elegant in her own right.
In many columns and pages, you have chronicled the multiple failure points of Senator Rubio…his service within the corrupted Intelligence committee, and his non-MAGA compromises. I fear this could become another massive moment of fatally poor judgement.”
The same people who continue to vote for these RINO’s are shocked, shocked, I tell you, to see that Trump is forced to deal with the RINO’s they keep electing.
These people never take responsibility for their own mistakes, but they readily blame their mistakes on others. It’s also called The Peter Pan Syndrome. It’s times like these when I wonder whether America is even worth saving.
Some are blindly elected, to be sure. But many are selected. In elections just as rigged as we know 2020 was. For however far back they took operational control of national election results are.
Do you really believe Lisa Murkowski was written in by the plurality of Alaska voters in 2010? The GOP nominee was that disliked even by the blind ‘vote for any R’ crowd enough to carry pen into booth for her? Her?
No. 2020 Trump wasn’t the first system veto of the people’s choice. We are as much of the problem as these people you don’t think take responsibility for their mistakes. WE let stolen elections be stolen without a peep before 2020. WE stopped being a part of the vote counting, trusting local election officials (D’s) would do their jobs with integrity. We voted for the ‘right’ candidate and went home, autopilot engaged…piloted by our enemies.
I wouldn’t be so judgemental. Especially if you weren’t a part of the vote counting in your own community all these years, even before DJT. And if you accepted declared, selected results like Murkowski’s write-in campaign without a peep..
What are you/we going to do different in this election – early voting starts in three months – than you did in 2020, or earlier? What did you/we do in primary elections besides vote for Trump? What vote counting/ballot integrity work did you do earlier this year for down primary ballot integrity, counting?
Being a part of counting isn’t just showing up on Election Day or mailing a ballot back. Vote counting and ballot integrity roles are trained and qualified for before the first votes are cast. Pretending dumb voters are the problem isn’t enough, and shirks our responsibility. Blames others for our mistakes. Our Peter Pan-ing.
FTA: “What they will do, based on what they have already done, is the stuff we should be thinking about.”
Yes, and we should START by assuming that they WILL STEAL THE 2024 ELECTION!! If we don’t start there and plan accordingly, we’re toast!
You can gripe and complain and argue about that all you want to, but that is THE reality we need to face. As Rush always said, “I live in Realville.” If you want to wear your rose-colored glasses and bury your head in the sand, go right ahead. I refuse to think that doing the same thing over and over again will bring about different results!
And what is your advice on what to do?
Sundance, discussion of VP is mute and silly when you consider the power of the federal three letter agencies including the: CIA, NSA, and DOJ.
What I don’t understand is why no one is talking about the manipulation of the last election. Until that is fixed the republic is done.
Big Tech and ad agencies use cellphone meta data to manipulate people everyday. What we learned from Snowden is the Gov uses the same info and have perfected it.
Big data is the use of user cellphone data including browser history, map data, credit card purchases, entertainment subscriptions, the actual tv show and movies you watch, your Instagram and FB accounts, your X posts, search queries, where you live, your relationships, number of kids, their ages, your age, your health, and your porn activity.
The agencies use this meta data to build a profile of each registered voter and can predict with almost near certainty who you will vote for at any given time.
That’s why the gov can target just a handful of voting districts to flip entire states by manipulating ballots (print errors etc) and “broken” voting machines.
The Gov knows exactly how to flip the election, and where to target extra ballots, and if MAGA voters actually believe the election can be “too big to rig” they are usable fools. As you said there are Trillions at stake.
There’s no way the Gov is going to allow “The Great Unwashed ie the Deplorables” choose the next POTUS.
This is real. It’s scary and the idea of free and fair elections is a fallacy.
History proves, once in bondage, it’s impossible to vote yourself out.
There’s only one way this ends.
What I don’t understand is why no one is talking about the manipulation of the last election. Until that is fixed the republic is done.
…….because, you use ALL THE TOOLS in your repertoire, not just some of them, that’s why.
Hey Gut, do you really think they can pull off back to back steals? I think 2020 was a rude awakening. Not only the steal but successfully shoving it down our throats. I’m hoping that won’t fly in 2024.
Rubio would be a huge mistake.
Hope he doesn’t go that route.
Im starting to think the Dems see the handwriting on the wall in what could be a blowout.
The strategy for them now may be to cheat enough in the presidential election to just keep it close enough that it doesn’t expose the massive cheating down ballot so the dems control both houses of congress and muck up whatever needs to be done.
No, just no.
Rubio has knowledge and dialog with the Intel Community. When I heard him take on Meet the Press on Sunday, May 21, 2024, where he was interviewed by moderator Kristen Welker, I thought he was positioning himself for the VP. He was without a doubt totally MAGA. This discussion just underscores that impression.
Rubio is as MAGA as Pence is.
Exactly what I thought when I saw this post come across my email.
Rubio has openly proven himself as pretty much a RINO.
Is not Ben Carson to nice of a person to not be crushed by the Deep State???
When needed Carson will stand his ground.
In the end, I think it’s going to be someone most if us have never heard of.
I hope so.
Carson is a fine man, Vance appears to be, but there is no reason to limit the choices to familiar faces.
The choice of Carson has drawbacks that have nothing to do with his character or intelligence, so I won’t go into them.
The rest of the names being floated, with the exception of Vance, are bad.
That’s just too narrow a field.
Pretty much anyone known from Florida, South Dakota, and Texas are big no nos. Do believe there are other states with known RINOs that I didn’t name.
Good perspective, Sundance.
And I love that encouraging letter from Franklin Graham
Great article and what’s not to agree with? Rubio speaks with a forked tongue and whomever sits across the table form the rat Mark Warner is obviously corrupt is simply true. And we need someone with the cajones who’s not afraid to take a wrecking ball to DC for VP. Carson imo would do it and he wouldn’t care what the establishment thought or said about him. The ONLY thing Ben doesn’t have going for him is is age. If he were 10 years younger it would be a closed case. Carson would also solidify the black vote, which the D’s must have to secure a win.
If there was a women with enough experience, integrity, and forcefulness, that would be a better pick than Carson. But whom? If MTG had another 4 years behind her belt and would reign in her rhetoric just a tiny bit, I’d love to see her as a VP pick. Stefanik is part of the swamp or else I’d like her to. What about Tulsi? Is she a wolf in sheep’s clothing? She has been saying all the right things now for years but I don’t trust her with my 2nd amendment rights tbh, even though she’s ex-military.
It’s starts with $100’s million from billionaire A, then B, C, D, etc.. Then it was Silicon Valley millionaire A, then B, C, D, etc.. Their money is the insurance that American taxpayer interests will will be subverted again.
Then considering a Neo-Con, war mongering, deep state liar as VP and guess where we go? Back to the hell on earth, that we’ve barely been able to understand, and not been able to navigate out of. So, back to square one – picking the lesser of two evils. Trump will never be able to fulfill an America-first agenda, when being handled by America-last money grubbing globalists. I’m a 100% PDJT supporter, but my Neo-Con and Globalist support is (-100%). I’m tired of paying for my own demise and America’s destruction.
Kentucky U.S. House of Representative (R) Thomas Massie for Trump’s VP pick: Thomas Massie – Wikipedia. Why?:
1. Principled
2. Wise
3. Constitution-Supporting Track Record
4. Common Sense
5. Make Excellent President of Senate
6. Independent Thought & Actions
7. Fully Qualified & Capable to be President
Isn’t Massie one of those sternly worded letter writers? No thanks.
Wasn’t aware of Massie until a couple of folks I follow hinted at his possible selection by Trump for VP. His Wikipedia description shows he’s not a “go along to get along” type person – noted his sensible positions on the important issues, unlike those of many of his colleagues. He’s a successful tech entrepreneur & has held important House committee assignments (Rules; Transportation & Infrastructure; Judiciary; Chairman Subcommittee on Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, & Antitrust; Member Select Subcommittee on Weaponization of Federal Government). His biggest obstacle, in my opinion, is he’s unknown to the public. Checkout his 2-hour interview with Tucker Carlson for a sense of what he’s about ->
I remember Jeff Sessions and Mike Pence. Ick. They served the deep state, not Trump. We don’t need a repeat.
Dr. Ben Carson has always been my choice. Four years from now this nation is going to need some serious healing and Dr. Ben Carson has always been a healer. He’s a moral man of great conviction and a superhero to all of us.
I drew the conclusion last night that the intention of all the Lawfare isn’t to put Trump in prison. It is to create a false reason why Trump “lost” the 2024 election. I believe you will begin to see fake polling that indicates he’s lost x percent of Republicans and Independents due to his convictions. This will be the false flag to mask the cheating, ballot harvesting, invalid ballots that will get the DNC candidate the victory. The story will be despite all the ‘deplorables’ they still have a modicum of decency and simply couldn’t accept PDJT legal issues. There’s a story and a plan being woven, perhaps more than one. But a common theme amongst them all is to obfuscate the election cheating. That it’s ballots not votes.

The story and the plan you describe would fit nicely as one element of this general Win it for Biden strategy:
— Spend two-billion dollars on the Biden campaign ground game to fully mobilize the true-blue Democratic Party base.
— Use lawfare criminal convictions to weave a story that Donald Trump is losing Republican support.
— Perpetrate the most aggressive and effective election fraud scheme ever attempted in world history.
— Wag the dog by heavily involving the US in some type of World War III precursor conflict.
Expanding on your opinion further, the MSM might report in the days ahead of the election that in its polling, Joe Biden is well ahead of Donald Trump in the blue states, and also two to three percent ahead of Trump in all of the swing states.
On the day of the election, the MSM might falsely report that Biden is well ahead of Donald Trump in early exit polling; and as the vote counts come in, report that Biden is well ahead of Trump in all the blue states and is leading Trump in all the swing states.
At 12 Midnight eastern time, Joe Biden declares election victory; claims that his margin of victory is so decisive it cannot be challenged; and states further that anyone who says different is an insurrectionist bent on ending democracy in America.
More doom and gloom.
So, you came to a conclusion “last night” about what all this Lawfare is really about?
That has been a major theme on this site for 2 years!!!!!
Glad you caught up.
And this has to do with the subject of the post regarding Rubio / Trump’s VP pick how again?
Rubio would be a mistake, and would be a big disappointment for me. Rubio is swamp creature plain and simple. Unless and if he has been thoroughly de-swamped (in my reality impossible), a creature like Rubio “might” know where the bodies are buried, but beyond that I would never trust any established politician. I understand President Trump honestly attempting to widen his appeal to disaffected old school liberals/democrats, and the political class as a whole, but given his age no human defies their age. So the VP could be very important. I like Carson, but former conventional medical doctors are usually the 1st to rubber stamp the latest medical “cure”. Carson like most former doctors, even well intention as may be the case, always seem to defer to whatever “expert” group is pushing said medical intervention. That said, I would prefer a VP with zero political ambition.
Beyond 2024, good is going to have to battle Evil, and at the same time our nation will need stability, optimism and a resurgence of faith. In short, no one is winning this political war without putting God, righteousness and prayer at the forefront as the DC tables are overturned.
AMEN! And Hallelujah!
…..if Biden wins.
The above phrase, extracted from SD’s monolog is a “What if” that presents a unique opportunity. Occasionally people have a chance to change history. “If only I had been in Dallas on Nov 22nd, or on that hotel balcony in Memphis,” one might postulate.
The degenerate criminal cabal has set the course, the future as they have written it is inscribed. We are destined to suffer a combination of every unspeakable tactic ever deployed to vanquish human society. We have one last shot to change that unwritten history.
A tennis novel set in the 1950s opened my eyes to a numerological set that cannot be a coincidence. Mt Rushmore: add up 1, 3, 26, 26 and you get 46. The fake 46 would destroy the accomplishments of GW, TJ, AL & TR. The real 46 would preserve their work and honor those men.
We are at that point. If we don’t change the intended outcome we will suffer misery on a scale previously unimaginable.
God Bless Donald J Trump. God Bless America.

Rubio would be a terrible choice and I don’t think it will happen, but one never knows.
Two things can be right. I can respect the thorough rationale Sundance lays out for not being wrapped around the axle over Rubio, or the VP selection in general. I can also reserve the right in discussion with others to enumerate the reasons Sundance articulates so well regarding “Not Rubio!” If Trump is the weapon and we are the Vice President then he doesn’t need to pick Rubio either. The guy is a slitherer and I won’t hold my nose and advocate for him.
TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!
Two thumbs and two pinky down and any other finger you would desire to down.
