Trumps VP pick

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The VP can't be from FL.

For the hundredth time in the last few days, yes he can!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

That is true. It would be an issue in a close election. It could result in the Congress selecting a VP.

The Senate selects the VP if no one has a majority of the electoral votes. It would most likely be Republican controlled.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The US Constitution, the 12th Amendment, says so, or they forfeit the EC votes from their home state.

12th Amendment and President and Vice Presidents from same states

The 12th Amendment states The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same

The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves

You still keep clinging to your inability to read. It says you cannot vote for both!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

yes there is

No, there is not. The 12th Amendment says an elector cannot vote for two people from their same state. The electors from Florida can vote for Trump or the Florida resident VP, but not for both.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

You misunderstand.
Trump could get 270 or more EC votes, including Florida
and then the Senate votes between the 2 top VP vote getters.
You think a Dem Senate would vote for Trump's VP over Harris?

The Senate would likely be Republican and a Florida VP would likely get more then 270 electoral votes from other states. The Senate having to decide is minimal at best.

If Trump gets more than 300 electoral votes and his Florida VP would still get more than 270 even without the Florida 30 electoral votes.

They’d also claim that he’s a closeted homosexual.

No, that's the white Senator from SC. Not that there is anything wrong with that!

I don’t know why people keep insisting that a President and VP can’t be from the same state.

If he picked De Santis, Donalson or Rubio they would have to move bc his running mate can’t live in the same state as Trump. Maybe Stefanik could bring him NY. I want him to pander.

Eve since Stinkfanik joined the cult she's gotten uglier by the minute which disqualifies her in the eyes of the orange blob.

 

[Clipper]

Or Vance. Tulsi would be ok with me but many conservatives would be pissed, she did endorse Bernie Sanders at one time and voted for Biden.

He might just pick J.D. Spanky hates beards but JD's passed the test when it was buried up Trump's ass.

It'd be a shame to count on Republican control and get Harris if you're wrong.

Simple rule: Don't have the president and VP from the same state. (even though they can be)

 

[ThisIsMe]

He's going to pick his nose then pick his most loyal of sycophant to run with him.

It doesn’t matter who Trump picks, whoever it is, you’ll get this ^^^^

Do you think it’s essential for Trump to pander and pick a woman or person of color? Would it hurt him if he picks a white guy?
In 10 yrs I’ve never started a thread, hopefully I did it right.

Trump’s VP = A person set up to be lynched when they refuse to obey Trump’s wishes.

It will be Byron Donald’s.

 

[my2¢]

Who?

Exactly, Andy Biggs is the sort of 'Who?" that I see willing to accept Trump's V.P. offer.

The odds would be astronomical against that happening.

 

[Lumpy 1]

In case he can't pardon himself, he's gonna need a VP to pardon him for every crime he has committed or potentially committed, before he resigns right before his term is up! Whomever that VP is, would need to be strong enough to handle the back lash, if he or she plans to run for the Presidency!

Mmm … where’s that sugar Care bear..

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

The odds would be astronomical against that happening.

Like the odds of the most qualified candidate in history losing to another amateur.

I keep seeing Ted Cruz pop up, I hope not he’s too unpopular with the undecideds.

Isn't he the Mexican guy from Canada?
