According to a new report from Rolling Stone, Donald Trump's aide have basically told him,
please do not be an idiot and select Marjorie Taylor Greene as your vice presidential candidate.
Now, the report is actually pretty fascinating 'cause it talks about the fact that you have
both Marjorie Taylor Green and Kerry Lake desperately both vying to be Donald Trump's
vice presidential candidate. And in order to make themselves look better, the two women
are of course, tearing each other down. , the report says that green has been trash
talking Lake behind the scenes as a quote, grifter who isn't a true conservative and
lake for her part, has reportedly voiced suspicions that green has been leaking, damaging information
about her to the press. Now listen, before we get into more of this, let's, let's sit
back for a minute and realize that neither one of these women needs to go out and attack
the other one.
I mean, you're, you're both just absolutely bonkers, okay? There's nothing either of you
could say about the other that's going to make the public be like, oh, well, I guess
I don't like her to, no. The people who don't like you already don't like you . You're
not gonna cost them any supporters. The people who are with you are definitely with you.
So I don't get the bickering, the back and forth and the leaking of information about
each other, because most of the public just finds you both just absolutely repulsive you.
I mean, honest to God, you would think you two would be best friends, kinda like Green
and Lauren Bobert, but they hate each other 'cause they're so similar. But it is what
it is. Rolling Stone goes on to say, several of these people independently claim that even
Trump is not stupid enough to tap either as a running mate.
. I love how they phrase that, even Trump's not that stupid, which implies that,
oh, he's stupid, but he is not that stupid. So that is definitely a vote of confidence
from your own staffers and aides there, Donald. They're like, yeah, this guy's a moron, but
he's not a complete idiot. , it continues. Some of these sources say they've already
advised the routinely indicted 2024 g o p front runner, that someone like Green or Lake
would bring nothing of value to a ticket and could easily hurt him with independent, moderate
voters who he'd need to unseat President Biden. However, Trump, of course, does love the fact
that both of these women have like this slavish devotion to him. They will go out there and
do his dirty work all day long. They'll spread his election lies, they'll defend everything
he does, and he likes that. And that, of course, is the number one quality he is looking for
in a vice president. He doesn't necessarily care about the fact that they don't bring
anything to the ticket. Now I,
I've talked about this at length, both here and over at Ring of Fire. When you're a candidate
for president, you need to pick a vice presidential candidate that shores up a lot of your weaknesses.
You know, that's going to bring in people that otherwise would not vote for you. Which
is why in 2016, Trump picked Mike Pence. You know, Trump was an amoral. You know what?
So he picked the hardcore religious right guy to bring in the religious people. Well,
now Trump has those folks on lockdown. He doesn't need a Mike Pence anymore, but he
does need somebody to help him with the suburban women voters. So he thinks that because he's
having trouble with women voters, he'll be able to easily overcome that. All he has to
do is just pick a woman because Trump thinks that, oh, a woman will vote for a woman, therefore
I solve my problems.
So he could pick one of these two nut jobs, but I think the smarter money is on Nikki
Haley. Nikki Haley has seen a bit of a surge in her poll numbers. She is not as extreme
and crazy on the outside as Ka Lake or Marjorie Taylor Greene. So Nikki Haley can have that
more moderate approach and she could probably attract some other people. She's still loyal
to. Donald Trump has made it clear she would pardon him and would still vote for him, even
if he's convicted, as long as he is the nominee. So all of this infighting, this back and forth
between Carrie Lake and Marjorie Taylor Greene could end up being for nothing except for
one thing. The report report points out that even if Green doesn't get that VP nod, Donald
Trump has still toyed with the idea of giving her a cabinet position, possibly at the United
States Department of Justice. So we could have an Attorney General that has never practiced
law a day in her life as actually just a CrossFit trainer. And that could be the top law enforcement
official of the United States. And I gotta tell you, the prospect of that is somehow
even more terrifying than having green as Vice President.
