Trump’s VP Choice: Top of the Line or Second-rate

Renee Parsons

As a result of the recent Trump-Biden debate, pretend President Joe Biden’s performance confirmed previous public glimpses of a man experiencing a serious cognitive deficiencyIn view of a lack of grip on reality, Biden’s remaining President has raised the dilemma of a Constitutional crisis as he is intent on guiding the US into an escalated military exchange with a hypersonic- armed Russia.

Despite his 81 years, Biden alternatively clings to office by a thread even as Democrats remain emboldened to continue their support as his administration implodes, obvious in its inability to prove a competence to carry out the burdens of the Presidency.

Absent from public discussions is how Biden’s state of mental confusion impacts his decisions as his recent public refusal to sign the SAVE Act (HR 8281) which would require id for every American voter.  The man is simply not functioning as a President of the US ought to be functioning.

It should come as no surprise, given previous sightings of Biden bumbling and stumbling, verbal or otherwise, as troubling indicators of an on going neurological decline.  The Biden regime refuses to confirm whether the President is experiencing or been treated for Alzheimer’s or dementia or Parkinson’s.

As Biden’s destructive Marxist policies continue to jeopardize US stability at home while  heightening world conflicts, Donald Trump’s nominee for Vice President desperately needs to be  individual intent on restoring the country to its historic Constitutional Republic roots.

More essential than ever,  given the current era of heightened world conflicts, every President has a major role in formulating and guiding foreign policy with a clarity and a sense of purpose.

Given NATO’s current escalation of the Ukraine war with its annual meeting under the shadow of the White House, EU countries are lining up to threaten Russia with Biden’s support and participation. The longer Biden remains in office and the more tentative his mental health becomes detached from reality, the more fragile is a world guided by an incoherent policy of unrestrained military conquest.

The Democratic panic stricken conundrum of its own creation is especially delicious to observe as the Democrats grand design knew full well that the 2020 election was illegitimate, yet its media cronies kept the fiction alive that Biden was duly elected with 81 million votes.

Election exploitation was the only way two incompetent bunglers like Biden and Harris could be ‘elected’ with their greatest asset a willingness to be acquiescent as both fulfilled Deep State ambitions since neither ever exhibited a speck of native intelligence or integrity or emotional connection with the American people.

Harris’ birth history needs to receive more scrutiny since, with the Constitution still en force, the President and its VP need to be ‘natural born’ Americans (Article II, Section 1); not the product of a naturalization process or an innocuous bureaucratic paper shuffling.

Yet, at the same time, while Trump is not known for making the best A list appointments, he has a history of selecting mediocre, non-threatening cohorts who will avoid any opportunity to outshine The Boss.

His choice of Mike Pence as VP began a regrettable cycle of second rate nominations whose ineptitudes were more a reflection on Trump than Pence’s  own lack of impressive credentials.   At the time, the Pence selection made some political sense for Trump the ‘outsider’ needed an establishment voice in 2016 to satisfy the GOP’s Uniparty base.

As a former Governor of Indiana and then Member of the House of Representatives, Pence never achieved being a credible voice on any topic – beginning with his role in the sabotage of General Michael Flynn within days of Trump’s inauguration.  Flynn’s removal cleared the decks for Pence to assume a ‘leadership’ role within the Oval Office while Trump appeared unfazed.  Pence’s compliance as VP continued up to and including his final failure on January 6th which assured the removal of Trump in a speculative Presidential election contest that is still being disputed.

The question remains whether as a result of his first term in office with its Deep State initiated crises and predicaments that would have emotionally and politically broken most any other popular politician, is whether Trump has developed a personal inner strength and a resilience more confident of his own political stature to seriously challenge the antiquated GOP-Zionist establishments for their approval.

The fact that Trump is still standing after eight years of personal attacks in and out of the White House; begun by FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane operation and followed by its 2022 raid on his Mar a Lago home in search of incriminating Crossfire documents are all testimony to his inner grit.

 Even as the Democratically inspired multi-faceted lawfare attacks based on specious questions of law are publicly disintegrating (thanks to Divine Intervention), they have not yet brought him to his knees.  His ability to withstand that level of personal – public confrontations may be indicative of a strengthened and intensified Trump who may be more comfortable with a first rate, accomplished Vice President capable of assuming Presidential duties on a moment’s notice.

The concept of publishing a list of a dozen or more potential nominees may have long range benefit to the GOP.   At minimum, such a list was certain to stir interest in the entire Presidential process whether it included potential nominees who are running for re election and can use a campaign boost or a bunch of second-rate wanna-be’s who are ultimately going nowhere on the national stage.

Others that may still have a shot as possible nominees include Sen. Tim Scott (SC), former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and a secondary list of Republican women, some of whom have little serious chance.

Hidden within its ranks are a handful of serious legitimate candidates who show some real promise of having Presidential potential known as the short list.   If the rumors are accurate, that list is supposedly down to three and is currently drawing the most attention – two of whom show little to no real voter appeal.

According to unconfirmed reports, the three remaining contenders on Trump’s previously announced list of potential Vice Presidents are North  Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Senator Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Sen. JD Vance (Ohio).

In recent days, Mark Levin suggested that Sen. Rubio has the inside track and at a recent Florida rally, Trump teased the crowd with Rubio on the dais.  One argument in support of Rubio is his ability to carry the Hispanic vote for Trump.  The truth is that Trump will handily carry the Hispanic vote on his own record, especially at the southern border. This is not a place where Rubio’s presence is necessary.

As a fellow Floridian, Rubio is already on thin ice since his residence would Constitutionally remove his name unless he re-established elsewhere in which case, his current Senate seat would be in jeopardy.  In addition, Rubio’s Senate votes rarely follow the America First agenda as he remains a consistent supporter of the war in Ukraine and a member of the GOP establishment.

Also in an attempt at grasping the national leadership ring, Gov. Burgum recently made a ringing endorsement of the war in Ukraine; as if he had not been paying attention to the entire debate since 2022 or rather revealed his kinship with the Uniparty.  With no obvious political mojo and only three electoral votes  and a population of 780,000, North Dakota will bring little of great significance to the 2024 Presidential campaign.

Sen. Vance, a Marine veteran with service in Iraq and author of Hillbilly Elegy was elected in 2022.  Vance soon moved into a position of prominence within the Senate, exhibiting an independent spirit, an intellect coupled with political savvy and a sensitivity to the issues including opposition to the war in Ukraine.

J.D. Vance shows range defending Trump

You decide.   If these are the three final choices, which they may not be – who gets your vote as Vice President to run with Trump in 2024.
