They are all running for VP candidate but are too dumb to realize it.
They're well aware of it, it's why they're not really badmouthing Trump.
Christie did in the first debate if I heard correctly
Except we all know Trump will pick his VP during an Adderall fuelled constipation party on social media. So it could be either of these morons, regardless of their debating performance (I use those words liberally).
Or it could be Kanye.
I heard someone point out that Trump might want a dynasty and pick Don Jr. That's probably the most likely option now that I think about it. His son is one person who will be loyal no matter what and and someone who would be even worse than him if he is removed from office.
But that's the thing, even if they're the VP on ticket, all they're going to do is sink the ticket further. Voting for any of these buffoons, whether it be locally, nationally, VP or president, is just asinine. They're all condescending as fuck and they all think we're too stupid to realize how much they suck. It's weird, but I miss the days of Bob Dole and McCain.
