Don't forget Tulsi. Seems crazy, but I think he will at least heavily weight in favor of a woman, and she's got somewhat popular cross-aisle appeal. Note before anyone gets upset, I'm not even saying she'd be a good pick, just that I think she's on the list of potentials.
For your four...I hope it's not Scott or Rubio. Not dealbreakers, but I'd really rather not have them any closer to the presidency. Especially Rubio. Vance would probably be the best of those. I expect to be at least somewhat disappointed by Trump's eventual pick, though.
I really think it will be one of the three squishes: Burgum, Rubio or Scott.
Trump is looking to shore up the moderate suburban Republican vote and Burgum or Rubio both would achieve that easily. I am not a fan of them but they provide utility to help him win.
I think Tim Scott sucks and he will be suboptimal even for shoring up the suburban moderates.
Vance is fine but his Senate seat will go to RINO Matt Dolan and that is not worth it.
I think Tulsi being a Democrat till like 2021 disqualifies her.
He likely won't pick Tulsi as it hurts him a lot with the GOP establishment voters which he does need some of them to join him to win.
Thank god, now who's left as Noem seems to have tanked her own nomination to be VP.
I think it is someone out of these four based on Trump's comments and who his campaign has said they like.
Tim Scott
Marco Rubio
Doug Burgum
J.D. Vance
