"A vote for Vivek is a vote for the 'other side,'" Trump said. So Vivek rolls over and supports Trump?
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but Vivek feels like a plant. He was supposed to fail. I think several candidates are being used to funnel different types of Republicans "back home" to Trump by building a following and then dropping out after Trump says something he thinks is destroying. He's setting up a house of cards to blow it over.
Meh. The GOP primaries are just running for the position of Vice President. Whichever candidate does the things Trump likes the most will get to be his running mate. The rest will get to write a book and go on FOX News to talk about how they're totally bucking the extreme Republican party by being mavericks and standing up to extremism or some shit.
Or a cabinet position.
This is my best, Vivek was an unknown coming into so he needed to get his name out there to get a high level appointment. Haley is kind of in a similar boat but she has been around long enough that I think she might be fishing for the VP spot.
I'm calling it now.. Kari Lake will be Trump's VP.
Kari's too old, and probably "not his type". Elise Stefanik is going to get it
Ha trump's not picking a woman
Did anyone think the racist, white supremacy party was going to go for him?
No, but it's easier for Republicans to test their racist, bigoted talking points with a brown person instead of a white person. I am convinced that's all he was there for.
Maybe they're branching to caste discrimination. Would be a bold new acquisition to bolster their roster.
I think it's too much work to be a plant at this level. He was genuinely running. However, it wasn't going to happen. I think his next move is to show how much of a Trumper he is, hence the endorsement and all the solidarity moves re: state ballots, to try to get Trump's VP pick. Trump will probably take Haley though for the constituency she'd bring (and female VPs are all the rage nowadays).
