Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI think Marsha Blackburn will be Rump's veep.
Why, because:
1. She's signaled she's interested (and not many other better qualified people have).
2. She's a certifiable wacko teabag.
3. She knows the ins and outs of Congress (which Rump says he needs in a candidate).
4. She's a woman.
5. She's vicious and hateful, which ties in with #2.

(2,097 posts)1. She's an elected official, but outside the Beltway.
2. She's a certifiable wacko teabag.
3. Her anti-immigrant credentials are impeccable.
4. She's a woman.
5. She's vicious and hateful, which ties in with #2.
But I like how you think...

(15,818 posts)She has perfected the requisite condescending gish gallop, and her nastiness toward women is well-documented. Trump might consider all of that to be secondary to her looks, but Melania owns a withering side-eye. This could get ... interesting.
