Yes!! Please do this. He would hand Biden a record-breaking landslide victory.Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said hed consider former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson to be his running mate if he becomes the GOPs 2024 nominee.
I like Tucker a lot, I guess I would, Trump responded to conservative radio host Clay Travis question about considering Carlson as a potential vice president on Wednesdays episode of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
I think Id say I would because hes got great common sense, Trump continued of Carlson, who was fired from Fox in April and whose top-rated, prime-time show frequently featured racism, far-right conspiracy theories and white nationalist talking points.
You know, when they say that you guys are conservative, or Im conservative, its not that were conservative, we have common sense. We want to have safe borders. We want to have a wall because walls work, Trump added, before going off on a lengthy tangent on how the only two things in centuries to have not become obsolete are wheels and walls.

The black AND Jesus card, with the Pence background presence of shuttin up and when you speak, while not staring lovingly at trumps bald back of head, just praise dear leader.

Now he'll have moron Cucker Tarlson as his sidekick doing the VP debate spreading all his lies and bringing in Russian money, if there is any left.
What a mess of an election we'll have.
What a beacon of democracy we'll have on display for the world to see.

(7,826 posts)On the role of the VP suddenly becoming president:
- Truman by David McCullough; and
- The Passage of Power by Robert Caro.
Each describes the ENORMITY of what faced Truman and LBJ on the deaths of FDR and JFK. Truman with an ongoing world war, and who, even as VP, was never clued in on the Manhattan Project. LBJ faced with a Congress determined to hold the WH in check, a cabinet that HATED him, a citizenry (black and white) wanting more and NEVER getting it.
You read those books and think - McCain picked Palin
?
Ask: What talents does Carlson have where he could slip in as president?

Already planning to become a paid foreign asset. Just Trump saying this is more usable evidence by Jack Smith, of intent, and conspiracy if Tucker agrees.

(68,001 posts)I've rarely met an inarguably stupid person who didn't sooner or later talk about his having common sense.
This, while they're usually busy lurching from one failure in life to another.
I'm a book-reading intellectual, and a pie-in-the-sky liberal who may not have even a lick of 'common sense'. But I have a college degree, a license to practice medicine, and a six-figure salary. How I managed to do any of that without the 'common sense' boasted about by thundering blockheads everywhere, I'll never know.

(11,934 posts)We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly cant wait, he texted an unidentified person.
I hate him passionately. ... I cant handle much more of this, he added.
Carlsons private texts starkly contrasted what he had been telling viewers during his primetime show.
Were all pretending weve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster its been is too tough to digest, he wrote in another text message, referring to the last four years. But come on. There isnt really an upside to Trump.

(12 posts)He seemed a bit caught off guard as if he hadnt been asked that or given it thought. He responded, I like Tucker a lot! I guess I would! he said. I think Id say I would, because hes got great common sense. You know, when they say that you guys are conservative, or Im conservative, its not that were conservative, its that we have common sense. We both want to have safe borders, we want to have a wall because walls work the computer you have in front of you, in about a month, will be totally obsolete, right? Trump said, once again veering wildly off-topic. You have the finest equipment in the world
the only two things for centuries thats not obsolete are wheels and walls. A wheel will always be a wheel, and a wall will always be a wall. Remember when they said walls dont work!'
I personally find this significant as Trump has not stated who he would want his VP to be, but has previously stated in the past he wouldnt consider any of the other GOP candidates, which has left people intrigued and concerned.
