Any predictions on Trump’s VP? I’m okay with Vance. Really don’t want burgum
I’m hoping it’s Ben Carson for a myriad of reasons. Not only is he supremely well liked and hard to attack. But aside from younkin, he’s the only one who could have an electoral impact (Tim Scott will not bring black votes to Trump. Carson will). Younkin could help with VA. But if it’s legitimately close enough for him to matter, Trump’s already has it in the bag
More than that tho, Carson is a man of conviction and would be the perfect person to pass the torch to when Trump is gone. Trump is the war time leader that we need right now. Carson is the uniter who could lead the maga movement after Trump. And unlike Rubio/scott/burgum/etc the ruling class can not get to him. Carson is incorruptible

I watched post-press conference coverage on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox. Most analysts on CNN and Fox said it was ok but not enough. MSNBC divided time between Trump is evil and Biden showed he is a foreign policy genius.
Biden reminded me that even as people fail, they can still have lucid moments. Before my dad died at 94, he did not know who I was. However, he could tell me in detail how his dog Penny was killed in 1945 by being run over by the driver of the milk truck (including the driver’s name).
