2024 Presidential Race

I really thought Burgum had a great chance. Stupid me.

Me too. I thought Burgum had it.

I really thought Burgum had a great chance. Stupid me.

I think Burgum is way too qualified and way too competent for the job. Thus…we could not have him. I would have looked forward to casting a vote for Burgum 2028

maybe they have polling that Vance appeals to union workers in the midwest and PA? all I can figure strategically.

I think he's most comfortable with yes men. Might be that simple.

 

[NorthDallas40]

I’m gonna guess Noem was the first choice till the book fiasco. Both punch a lot of the same buttons for Trump and Noem is a sitting governor and appeals to the women vote.

A lot of people say that the VP has no bearing on the election. Normally, I would agree, but given Trump's age, I think the VP candidate is uniquely important. This could actually hurt Trump in the general.

Agreed. This does nothing to help him with women or minorities.

 

[Boston Vol]

During the debates I was thinking I could actually vote for this guy for POTUS (only one on the stage).

Burgum isn’t Mitch Daniels, but he’s close. Vance makes zero sense, especially given his comments about Trump in 2016. He reeks of phoniness, even more than the typical politician.

I think we still might could. Personally I don’t see a VP as a lock candidate.

and he tweeted a lie - neither Trump nor Vance want to raise taxes on middle-class families.

No, just costs

Kind of a meh for me on the VP pick.

That’s ok he didn’t tweet it puddinhead couldn’t compose that

Seems like Biden is just throwing crap against the wall hoping it sticks.

 

[VAVol85]

Just doesn't seem like he adds anything. Just too much in Trump's own image.

I disagree. Of the four POTUS/VP candidates, he is the only veteran, the only millennial, the only one from the Midwest, and really, the only one that can clearly articulate his thoughts. I think it is a tough ticket to beat.

Is there anyone who thinks Vance is a legit frontrunner for the presidency in '28? Because that should be a huge part of the calculus for Trump's VP pick. This is such a wasted opportunity.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

 

[volinbham]

No, just costs

if you mean via tariffs then that is also Biden policy

He’s got four years to convince me but today no way in hell I vote for him.

I don't think Trump cares much about 28.

OTOH, I do think he is about winning in 24 and for some reason thinks Vance helps

 

[GroverCleveland]

No, just costs

Joe would have tweeted “Cyrus Vance is no…uh…you know the thing”.
