The Don’s VEEP must be a white woman.
Conservatives and Republicans have been belly-aching for months now about how DEI is stupid, and we must work hard to end it. Promote on merit only, they say. Unless it comes to picking Donald Trump’s Vice President, then it has to be a black person and probably a woman.
But what about the white woman?
The so-called political experts say that white suburban women (previously known as soccer moms back in the mid-1990s) are the ones who are needed and sometimes ignored. They also say that The-Donald turned them off during his last presidency. How, I don’t know. To which white suburban women are they referring? I don’t know.
As a white woman myself living in the suburbs, my vote is for Trump again.
Kamala had her chance.
But as a side note, dear GOP, get your ass in gear and start supporting and encouraging black women to run for office.
Has the white suburb mom left the MAGA movement? I have no earthly idea. I’m a hermit, so. But for the blog post article, let’s pretend Trump has lost the suburbanite white woman. Then logic would have it that he should pick a white woman for his VEEP.
Other reasons, too, are abortion and men pretending to be women to edge out women in sports and other arenas. I want to see a woman VP tackle these issues regardless of race or preference.
Not that a man can’t speak on abortion, because they can. I just want to see a woman tackle this huge issue and make it front and center.
So, what are our options? I’ll start with the obvious but end with the unlikely but “it’d be cool” contenders.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders is nonthreatening to Trump and very loyal to him. Of course, she used to work for the man, too. Something is calming and bright about Sarah. She is the one who brought me around to Donald. I didn’t vote for Donald the first time, but after he was in office, he did good things, and having her as his Press Secretary helped me change my mind about him, so I pulled the lever for him in 2020. Sarah is smart. She is the Governor of Arkansas and seems to be doing good things for the state. I’d feel comfortable with her stepping in to take over if she had to. Plus, 2028!

Ha! I am so glad Matt Gaetz thinks so, too. I know Republicans hate him, but I like the guy.
Kristi Noem, I guess. She’s not my favorite, but she seems logical. The men would love it, for sure. I think she could handle her own in a VP debate, too. Can you see her debating Kamala? Then again, my pair of slippers could win a debate with Kamala. I’m not excited about Kristi meh. But she’d be okay.
I guess that Kristi won’t be his pick for this reason: the affair. Then again, Donald Trump has been known to buck the status quo and not give a rip what others think.
Elise Stefanik is not someone I know a lot about. She’s been in the news lately, just for name’s sake, and being associated with Trump as a staunch supporter. And while I don’t know much about her politically, she seems capable of the position. Plus, New York with its 28 electoral votes. But does New York love Trump, or do they hate Trump, and does he even need her for that reason?
The Ridiculous List
Nikki Haley, hard pass. I mean, maybe. But I highly doubt it.
Nancy Mace has one thing in common with Nikki – South Carolina. But Trump doesn’t need Nancy for the votes there. And now we are skating over to the thin ice and unlikely category, starting with Mace. I honestly don’t know why I put her name in here. To ruffle some feathers, I guess. She would be a surprise, especially since Trump said some terrible things about the woman when she tried to distance herself from him during the whole J6 hubbub. I’m sure she only endorsed him recently to get back in his good graces. She ditched Nikki quickly, even after Nikki helped her keep her job. So Trump may do it to rub salt in Nikki’s wounds. I highly doubt it, though.
Marjorie Taylor Green, just for fun and to ruffle even more feathers! She is a loyalist to Trump, and he likes that trait. It won’t happen, but I would like to see this happen for many small reasons. Heads explode. The VP debate. To see more of MTG in the news. Firebrand and all.
Kari Lake. No. But I wouldn’t mind seeing her as a Senator, which is the rumor. Or, better yet, as Trump’s Press Secretary. Bingo!
Honorable Mentions
Ann Coulter needs to be brought back into the fold. What does Trump need to do to get her back on his side?
Tammy Bruce! I put her in honorable mentions, but sure! She’d be a great VP! For real.
Sarah Palin. I know it!! She had her chance back in the day, but let’s bring her back. I like her.
Okay, okay, that’s enough. Well, one more. Katie Britt. Just because she’s from Alabama.
Right now, it’s anyone’s game. The selection is wide or slim, depending on what news channel you’ve been watching. As much as I want to nail it down and be the one to call it early, I have no earthly idea.
With Trump, it isn’t easy to predict. He could be logical, intelligent, and straightforward. He could also go wild and off the cuff.
We’ll find out soon, though. But in all seriousness, though, the VP pick needs to be someone he can hand off his legacy to.
Disclaimer: I don’t really think the VP must be a white woman. The majority of this blog post was written for the ridiculous.
