The only person less acceptable is The Penguin in a Batman movie

Vance is a douche. Trump loves when his former critics abandon dignity and nibble his toes. But he usually lets them dangle and then burns them. So I’m guessing this tease is Vance’s penance. Rubio is his pick, because for all Rubio’s faults and shortcomings and his own prior clashes with Trump, Rubio has some political capital worth something to Trump. And Trump will celebrate being the most diversity-loving candidate in history.

I know we are above picking on people for their appearance, so I’ll simply compliment Little Marco for his impossibly large ears. He’s not even near the 90-year-old-Chuck Grassley-hanging-round-Congress-forever phase yet. Just imagine what 4 more decades could do for Little Marco’s auditory appendages! Trump should pick Marco to listen for any deep state dissent whispers behind Trump’s ample backside.

The 12th Amendment states: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves."

How does Lil' Marco plan to beat the 12th Amendment?

If it is the State of Confusion then none of them can be VP.

I’ll bet he’ll try to float Jr as his running mate. He needs someone extra stupid, incredibly lazy and will to do the dirty work of constantly kissing his ass with zero shame.

It's going to be JFK Jr, of course. The Loons convinced of it. Because Loons.

That also means that both have to divest themselves of their business interests. Ivanka can't hope for a better outcome.

He didn’t do it last time. How else could they launder that money they get from heads of state around the world?

According to the law, the president does not have to divest unless the business is at a conflict of interest with those of the country. That conflict of interest is defined by the president who, SCOTUS recently determined is a king who cannot be investigated.

Tell Vance here he has to use his real name to become VP. Not the ones he has used up to date:

-Born James Donald Bowman

-Changed to James Hamel for high school

-Changed to Jim Hamel when he was in Marines

-At 33 changed to JD Vance (his pseudonym for the book)

Who's he hiding from?

PAB won't pick a VP until/unless he wins.

If he leaves that slot on the ballot blank, he gets Kamala Harris as VP

Ordinarily I would recognize that. However, if we've learned anything from Trump it's that nothing is "ordinary." He will do what he wants regardless of tradition and the law - and get away with it.

With what army? If Kamala gets the only electoral votes for VP, then under the Constitution she is the VP, and military officers do in fact respect their oaths to the Constitution.

If his 'advisors' are worried about him haemorrhaging support from women, he may use that as a reason to pop Vanky on the ticket. Who could resist Goya's black bean pin-up girl, after all?

I hope Vance doesn’t get the VP slot. Rubio is an empty suit, but Vance is an insufferable asshole.

Both tumors to be excised, but Vance is malignant

Ta, MM. I never watch the Sunday shows, and can always count on you to tell me what happened.

You don’t miss much. Republicans guests lie their asses off and the hosts almost never call them out for it.

Trump never forgets a slight. Rubio mocked his cock. It's not Rubio.

Trump hates facial hair. Vance has a beard. It's not Vance.

It will either be Sister Caninecide or nobody you've heard of before.

Vance will shave off his butt-hair beard the nano second Dear Leader asks him to.

LOL. Sadly that took me awhile to figure out the candidate. Excellent.

Trump needs someone who won’t hog the spotlight from him and who’s so thirsty for his approval he’d literally do anything, even push his own mother down the stairs, to win his praise.

Get ready for Vice President Eric Trump.

I still think it's gonna be Youngkin. I could be wrong, but I can't see Trump picking anyone who loves being on TV as much or more than he does. Vance would steal his spotlight.

Shorter Rubio and Vance: "Pick me! I can't wait to get fisked by Kamala Harris!"

I think Kristi Noem still has a chance, given:

1. Trump has no pets, hates and/or is afraid of animals.

2. Chick votes.

3. Insurance that no one offs him with that lunatic next up to bat.

4. Trump is stupider than dirt.

Please, Trump, please please please pick Katie Britt for your lapdog, er, VP. She’ll be a big hit with all the ladies!

Women want someone who will talk to them in that Fundy Baby Voice, right?

Having a strong spine is antithetical to running for PAB’s VP on a metaphorical level. On a purely biological level however, they might want to factor that in, given the high likelihood of a Pencian backlash and the attendant punishments herein.

Also, Vance. It’s going to be Vance. Easier name for PAB to remember, so similar to his last sacrificial lamb, and he can’t resist J.D.’s eyeliner and eyelash batting.

Vance should have been eliminated for consideration for higher office just on the basis of "The Hillbilly Elegy" alone.

Why? The book he typed shows he can't write or think, that he is a liar, a self-promoter and a hypocrite, with zero understanding of his country and himself. So he's a sterling example of a Republican.
