For me, I don't think he has a chance (because basically only regime-approved candidates do), but I'd be happy in the impossible case that he defeated Biden, because he seems like a decent fellow if a bit naive sometimes.

Obviously, it's not going to happen, but I was just wondering.
There are a lot of people who will go GOP because Sean Hannity told them, but you are anti-neocon enough to not do that.
Yes, that's very unfortunate. But I'm at least glad he's the runner-up at the moment, just like I'm glad that Trump and RDS are the top candidates in the GOP.
Trump will win if the economy is bad, he will lose if it is good. All the rest is noise.
Trump might well die because he's old and fat. Or be killed by a whackjob/the deep state. He needs someone who is solid. Not Tim Scott or Nikki Haley. Not MTG either, I agree.
In the sad timeline where Trump becomes the nominee again, objectively Trump's best choice for VP would be Lee Zeldin.
Zeldin has decent optics and he is solid on the issues. He has sucked up to Trump a lot recently so that makes me wonder.
Trump always gets horny over New York so Zeldin being from there is a major plus.
Trump's advisors claim that Trump is considering mainly women for VP.
Sadly all of the women that Trump is considering for VP are dogshit.
He is considering Kari Lake, MTG, Kristi Noem and Elise Stefanik.
Noem and Stefanik suck ass on the issues. Noem is a corporate shill and Stefanik supports mass immigration.
Meanwhile MTG and Kari Lake are so toxic that they would absolutely harm his icket significantly.
We saw from 2022, that the election is not just a referendum on the economy. If it was so, the GOP would have won the Senate.
Candidate quality doesn't matter for the Dems but it absolutely does matter for the GOP.
The Dems control the institutions so they can win with even braindead Fetterman.
GOP cannot do the same.
Lake and MTG are vastly more poisonous in suburbs and with independents than even Trump himself.
Lee Zeldin is a neocon of the highest order: https://twitter.com/LeeMZeldin/status/1496861956489494530
Like I said, Trump might die, so this is not insignificant.
Not good.
That had the problem with Roe. But presidential elections are. The result of basically every election is a product of the economy.
Zeldin is sadly the best VP choice one can get with Trump on the top of the ticket.
Zeldin is definitely not a squish on social/cultural issues unlike a Romney or Haley.
I don't like Zeldin's policy on Ukraine but it beats picking any of the four women listed.
Trump's fetish for New York and Zeldin's brownnosing might influence Trump to picking Zeldin over one of the four women listed above.
Zeldin is probably the only Male who even has a shot of being VP for a Trump ticket.
Those two are not squishes, just outright enemies. Haley was a Bubba Wallace hoaxer and Romney backs BLM. Dunno about Zeldin, but have not heard bad things about him.
Beggars can't be choosers.
Just so you know: I was looking into Zeldin, and found some tweets that I will be posting. It's not a criticism of you in any way.
