Can JD handle licking trump's boots for 4 years?
Good question. He does display more strength than eager boot kickers like Rubio or Scott.

I also think Burgum is still a possible darkhorse.

It also might have a lot to do with Trump’s willingness to receive strategy advice from his team. If he’s calling all the shots as was presumed in his legal and criminal proceedings he may choose an unabashed bootlicker or someone who doesn’t help in courting independent voters.
Burgum has gotten some flak from ND conks about his conservative cred..

trump has already shown with some of his endorsements that he can prioritize winning over absolute loyalty. Can he do it for the VP pick? Especially after what he sees as pence's betrayal.
I expect he sees the VP as expendable after the election. And I wouldn't count Stefanik out yet

Besides being from ND I think what hurts Bergum the most is having a net worth higher than the Donald's. That could create divided loyalty in some circumstances

I’m not sure if it was his parents or his grandparents that escaped oppressive Cuba in the inner tube but he would be a good pick I think, a bit of a mamas boy like all those Latinos in Miami, but still a good pick

McCarthy needs to come back and drain the commie swamp, infected with people that don’t have the US best interest in mind

Trump really had no idea what he was up against back in 2016 …

Wasn't he really going after people he thought were in league with countries/ideologies that were a threat to the US? russia and russia sympathizers might qualify today. As might a rightwing banana republic wannabe dictator.

Regardless, there is less chance of McCarthy coming back than there is of trump running for a 3rd term. When it comes to what McCarthy would do - If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

Back in the day Russia was considered an enemy because communism. Many Americans have changed their minds about Russia's communism because they look like us. Not China, though. China is evil because communism.

Not so over the top imo - offhand the only "more intense suck-up" I can recall would be Trump in Helsinki - or maybe North Korea too. So, Top 5 definetly, Top 3 probably.

What I don't understand is why Vance would want to give up the sweetest gig available in America to become a non-entity like the VP - especially when its a one-term gig and your entire raison d'etre is to do Trump's bidding or risk being lynched by a mob.... JD is a weird motherfucker for sure... :ohno:

What lame excuse did he use to attempt to walk those statements back? I don't know. Google is your friend.

My x? I don't own x. It probably wouldn't have lost $30 billion in market value in the last 1.5 years if I did. :coffee:
