You can only vote on one answer.
As regular readers know, I consistently advocate for young candidates for every political contest. Manchin may be an exception. He’s a good speaker. Publicly popular. Has a real record which has no bad black marks. He would certainly be able to do the job if something happened to Trump.

A problem is that his age would interfere with running for the top spot in 2028 much less for reelection in 2032. He’s also a white male.

The question is whether his gravitas which is superior to the other contenders and TRUMPS Harris by a LOT would put Trump over the top in a way the other contenders do not. Picking him is a one shot laser focused deal to get Trump elected in 2024. The other contenders each have a good shot of winning a 2028 and 2032 Presidential election which is better for the country and long term better for the GOP. Who do you like for VP based on everything important to you? POLL IS INCLUDED. PLEASE USE YOUR VOICE.

Manchin is a democrat in a conservative state...his position on coal is how he's managed to maintain his position as Senator. But I understand where you're coming from in trying to attract more democrats to Trump. I just don't think orange needs it.

I see plenty of liberals admitting they were better off under Trump than under Biden. Inflation, the border crisis, illegal aliens receiving benefits earmarked for those with lesser income, our tax dollars going overseas to never ending wars, etc.

Of those on the list, I like Tim Scott or Kristi Noem. I'm guessing Trump has someone else in mind, but I don't know who that might be.

Manchin probably still has a spine, though, and his loyalty would always be in question.

Having said that, if Trump could take it, it would also have a lot of upside.

Manchin is the best of the lot.

If Trump runs with Haley, he’ll drag along the RINO’s and some democrats.

Jill Stein. Biden can dump Harris.
