He’s by far the most articulate candidate out there, plus he’s a minority.

Can you imagine him debating Kamala.

He’d be a great attack dog.

He may be a total phony, we just don't know.

No he’s not, it’s just because he’s new to politics and to us.

You could say the same thing about Trump in 2016.

Hes totally unknown, and quite the risk but would still be far better (in theory) than RFK Jr or Tulsi.

I bet you don’t know he took Soros money when he was in college. What does he owe Soros?

I wouldnt hate it, but I wouldnt love it.

We need to be honest about VPs. They are largely meaningless, both to voters and to the administration.

I did. I was wrong. It turned out that my boy Kasich was the one who put power over principle.

the VP debate would be the big payoff. He would absolutely drag Kamala.

It would be a bloodbath of sound bytes.

I wouldn't mind at all.


But I guess the calculus is, will he add votes that Trump doesn't already have?

I don't think he would subtract any, in fact I don't think anyone on the short list would. If you arena Trump supporter your voting for him no matter the pick.

So that leaves the question of who adds the most.

Rubio and Burgum are not as sharp elbowed as Vivek so that might favor them.

I agree, VP’s are mostly chosen to hopefully carry the state where they are from, and to be an attack dog.

Vivek is easily the most articulate candidate out there and can get the message of a conservative candidate out there. I think he would be a fantastic VP candidate.

Simple question: what does he add to the ticket?

I think he could add a lot of Independent voters to the Trump train with his incredible speaking skills.

They perhaps could see him as a stabilizing influence on Trump.

I fear that Vivek may just for the time being an online thing. Yeah I like him, but I know quite a few people who thinks he’s an obnoxious a-hole. Vivek is a gamble.

In my view, two things.

He’s an incredible speaker to get out the conservative, common sense message, and he’s a minority.
