I am pretty sure Trump has a machine in his basement that sucks the life force out of orphans to keep him vital and healthy.

It would be wild if both conventions were free-for-alls, like the end of that Roman Empire movie after Commodus dies. Not good for the country, but maybe things need to get really bad before they can get better. Strange and scary that both the UK and France have voted themselves into accelerated nosedives at the same time we're in unstable limbo.

Both France and UK are in the 1st step of populism.

The coalitions that have formed won't be able to govern and the Globalist will move to the Reform parties.

They love the power and money, to be sure. Rinse, repeat.

But in order for the Globalist to move they will have to go back into the shadows.

Trump should pick General Flynn. Instant assassination insurance. If anything happened to Trump, Flynn--whom the Deep State railroaded into a fakakta criminal plea on the Russia Hoax that his lawyer got reversed on appeal----would burn the Deep State down in vengeance for both himself and for Trump's legacy.

Anyone else is just Trump begging for the Deep State to Oswald him.

A bunch of experienced professional politicians. Which isn't a bad thing when it comes to VP choices.

How would Trump and Rubio run together if they are both residents of Florida? Would Trump have to re-register as a New Yorker? Does that make him more vulnerable to legal harassment by Letitia James?

If you are "doing content requests," how about a Sailer Ranking of Trump-2024 VP Nominee-candidates? (In other words, which you prefer as best, which you think are worst)

> the Republican convention starting next Monday in Milwaukee

I have to say I am stunned that the RNC is this early. When you say "next Monday" you literally mean 5 days from now!

Yeah, the Democrats used to hold their convention first, in July, and then the GOP went in late August, sometimes creeping into September.

This post makes me think you don't understand the appeal of Trump to at least some of his supporters.

I did not read the entirety of “Hillbilly Elegy” but I read at it, I very distinctly remember over an hour or two by electric lantern in a KOA Kamping Kabin (they have an overhead light but not reading lamps).

It’s difficult for me to imagine reading a book by any of the other people on the PredictIt list.

He has some gumption and drive, that guy. Maybe he’s playing some n-dimensional chess of his own.
