There is one thing — and one thing only — that Trump wants from his vice president: Absolute loyalty.

If they won’t serve Trump’s will over all else, they’re immediately disqualified.

This is how things work in a dictatorial regime.

This assumes Trump gets to select his running mate.
Are any particular plutocrats, and/or Putin, pulling those strings?

Day1 Dictator says his gloves are coming off & handcuffs are going on anyone he chooses. But the most powerful people behind Project 2025 may leave a lot less to Trump’s chaos this time.

How do they feel about Michael Flynn? That Cassius has a lean and very hungry look. If he’s the VP TFG won’t see Day 2. Is Putin’s boy Flynn too screwy for, say, Koch, Leo & assorted campers at Bohemian Grove?

Wild card: who do red state ALEC legislators want as POTUS & VP? Flynn assures them they decide who the electors are & how they vote. What happens if they show up at Archives & Congress with lawyers, guns & “certified” winners? 147 MAGA MoC’s would walk them right by the magnetometers.

No excuses. DoJ, DoD & Cap cops must vet the troops, discharge wackos, brief all hands on domestic enemies & unlawful orders, & swear the oath again.

Prep for all contingencies.

@rbreich why bother with a vice president that isn't Don Jr?

@rbreich I fail to understand how a convicted felon can be on any state ballot. We need to rewrite something to prevent this madness.

Mangolini wants an 8 figure donation to one of his PACs. The veep candidate who writes that check will get the gig.

Which his why he will NOT choose anyone but a Rich White Man: Those are the ONLY people he can relate to.
