Idle speculation Sunday – Vice President edition (with idle open thread add-on)
By 
The Very Serious Pundits Who Opine are will eventually admit that Gov. Ron DeSantis – Republican Nominee for President is not going to happen. That means their fancies will turn to thoughts of who the deeply suspicious – in both senses of the word – sack of greed and hate who will be the GOP’s presidential nominee will pick to be its new number two.
A lot of professional Veep Forecasting will be based on WWIRTP? (Who Would Imaginary Reasonable Trump Pick) and therefore extremely silly. Some Substack contrarian or overpaid hack will make the case that Trump will invite Mike Pence on the reunion tour. El. Oh. El.
Suggestions that DeSantis or any other Republican who is running for president will be almost as risible.
The ideal Republican veep must be an easily controlled non-entity who has also publicly demonstrated a satisfactory level of fanatical devotion. But the running mate can’t have been so noisy in their displays that they have received too much attention. That is, more attention than he thinks they should get.
Right now my picks would be:
Mike Lindell. He’s bumbling, easy to disrespect and still pushing that election denial turd with his nose. Also, he probably has more money in the bank than his idol. Downsides: Not classy. And despite all of Lindell’s efforts, Biden is still in the White House. Loser! Sad!
Don Junior. This worm-riddled little apple didn’t fall far from the blighted tree because it knows that’s where the money is. He is also easy to disrespect and would probably shoot himself on 5th Avenue if dad told him too. Downsides: He’s a reminder of trump’s mortality and has less money than his broke-ass dad. Sad! Loser!
Discuss whatever. Or post pictures of pets, personal projects or both.
