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 think Tulsi would be a great pick because the onetruephilosoraptor types vowing not to vote Trump/Tulsi will actually vote for him anyway, and she picks up lots of moderates. And the narrative of her saying "I used to think Trump was the Orange Man Bad but I was wrong" is what the country needs.
But the main thing is she seems duty-bound so if Trump were taken out I think she'd carry on his legacy even though it's not what she would have done. I don't see any of the other floated people asking "what would Trump do?"
Either have somebody with a sense of duty or somebody 'worse' like a Rand Paul. Obviously Rand would be way better as a backup President, but we're better off with him in the Senate.
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

If he picks Tulsi, I will not vote for him. I might even vote for Biden out of spite for you tourists.
