“Since the veep has almost no Constitutional power, the Democrats would be hard-pressed to argue that the Donald, his residence now declared in New York or New Jersey”
That seems…highly unlikely.
Silly idea – offers nothing for Trump.
Instead, take majorities in the house and senate, appoint President Trump as Speaker of the House, impeach hobama, then impeach or 25th Amendment remove Jo-Jo the dementia monkey
Err, as someone on Insty suggested.
I heard that idea too, and it would be vastly better than VP. The problem is first getting elected as a Representative and second getting a majority of other egotistical Representatives to vote you Speaker of the House. Of course, helping most of those Representatives get elected helps, but I think Trump’s influence is limited here. After all, the House has voted twice to impeach him.
There is no Constitutional requirement that the Speaker be a member of the House.
Indeed, but step one is the easier of the two steps.
I like Trump but if people are honest, he lost in his battle with the establishment both elected and unelected. A look at his cabinet shows he had very little support from the people he got to handpick.
Spot on. The whole thing is half baked. Give Trump his second term, let DeSantis get four years of seasoning and 8 years following Trump. I think Walsh suffers from some sort of backbone deficiency and a bit of Stockholm syndrome.
Naw, Trump is not a process guy. He’d get quickly tired and bored of the whole thing as Speaker and quit.
Nope I only see Trump running for President or not at all. But, if the latter, I can see him on the campaign stump for any candidate he endorses. And talk about firing up a convention! The candidate’s speech afterwards, if it isn’t Trump, will surely be an anti-climax.
I think the idea is that once Trump is Speaker, you impeach Biden and Harris and then Trump is President.
You can impeach until the cows come home, but if you don’t have two thirds of the Senate, they remain in office.
“better known as Bill Clinton, who learned the use and abuse of power growing up in Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he sat at the feet of the “retired” New York City gangster Owney Madden”
That explains all the bodies.
I’d like to see Trump as President again because it would be cosmic justice for the way he was treated but Democrats in and out of government (elected and unelected) would lose their shit again and we would see federal workers abuse their powers and mass riots, so he would have to be better at dealing with that. It is also true that no matter who the Republican is, they will get the same treatment because that is the Democrat strategy and Trump had nothing to do with their agency, so any Republican must be able to deal with their strategy.
One more term for Trump, with a DeSantis VP would give DeSantis more time to make his mark and find good people but DeSantis as President is appealing too. Maybe neither will make it through the primaries and someone else will rise above.
Gonna withhold judgement on DeSantis. Too many of these Stupid Party saviors have flamed out over the years, and he has three more years to “grow in office”.
I still think we have not yet heard from the winner of ’24, although I’m pretty sure the loser will be Harris/Biden*. (That’s assuming the Stupid Party, starting at the top with the Orange Clown, finally stops denying that they got gamed and robbed and played for chumps last year.)
See Kristi Noem.

Ditto. And if he he was elected (assuming that the leftist fraud could be contained), he should fire the first three layers of management in every single federal agency, without any exceptions whatsoever. The replacement hires (fewer in number) should be people who have never worked in the federal government.
I don’t care who is in what position, or what it does to them. I “retired” from federal service to escape a very bad situation that the agency I worked for would do nothing about, despite being legally required to do so. It was years before I was financially ready to actually retire. Many of the senior executive service people are sociopaths – indeed, psychopaths. They need to go. Anyone in senior executive service who “resists” the President of the United States should be fired for cause, and it should be made public, and as humiliating as possible.
DeSantis is young. Time as VP would stress test him and give us the chance to judge his worthiness as a presidential candidate. It also gives us the potential for twelve years of conservatives in the oval office. That’s twelve years of conservative appointees and twelve years for the commie Clinton mob to age out or, God willing, face prosecution.
