. . . how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.


Marjorie Taylor Greene is vying for Trump running mate


She sees herself on the short list for Trump's VP": Bannon reveals MTG's presidential aspirations

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is vying to be Donald Trump's running mate for the 2024 presidential election, according to longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon.

"This is no shrinking violet, she's ambitious — she's not shy about that, nor should she be," Bannon, Trump's former chief strategist, revealed in an interview with NBC News.

"She sees herself on the short list for Trump's VP," Bannon added. "Paraphrasing Cokie Roberts, when MTG looks in the mirror she sees a potential president smiling back," he said, referring to the late NPR and ABC political reporter.

A second source told NBC that Greene's "whole vision is to be vice president." The source, who has advised Greene and has ties to Trump, spoke with the outlet under the condition of anonymity in order to describe private conversations. He added that he believes Greene would likely be on Trump's short list of running mates.

Greene has tried to rebrand herself as a central figure in Republican Party and someone who can work with the party's hard-liners and reformers. The position of vice president is the ultimate goal for Greene, according to NBC's sources.

These aspirations explain why Greene fought so hard to help Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., become House speaker and why she has taken assignments on two committees that are planning high-profile investigations into President Joe Biden's administration. McCarthy recently added her to be part of a panel investigating the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

i've vote 3rd party in the recent pass.. and could be MADE to do so again.. trump+anyone would be enough

Well, there’s a surefire way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Two buffoons equals a lost cause….

I am campaigning for either Tom Cotton or Ron DeSantis at the top…many good contenders they could pick for the bottom.

Exactly!

It’s a binary choice whether people want to admit it or not. Most important fight right now is to keep Democrats out of control.

Again you’re looking at the issue from the wrong perspective. Both are disgusting, Biden only less so.

I say don't discourage it. The sooner the idiots currently in charge at the GOP go down in flames the better off conservatives will be.
If this is a "hold my beer and watch this!" moment for republicans, the smartest move is to stick your hand out, take that beer, gulp a swing, swig your own beer and get your phone set to video.

I agree trump is not a person I would enjoy being around. But your liking Biden better as president?

Policies and such?

Simple enough, if you don't want us to vote third=party, nominate better candidates. Works for Rand Paul...

Yeah, I agree. I vote in every primary.....and I didn't vote for trump in the primary. And I won't vote for him in the next. But I can't imagine any democrat I would vote for in the general.

And at this point a vote for a third party is a vote for a democrat, God I miss Nader......

I dislike Biden as President less than I disliked Trump as President. There is no “like” regarding either.

. . . and so long as people take that view there never will be a viable third party alternative and you will be forced to choke down the rotgut the two major parties pour.

You've said that before, I just haven't seen a viable third party candidate for president..... Have you?

. . . for a third party to be “viable” voters have to be prepared to reject the choices being offered by the R’s and D’s and say enough is enough. Frankly I have a hard time believing that the Libertarian candidate in either of the last two elections could have been as bad as Trump and Biden . . . plus the mere fact they were elected would have shaken the foundations of both major parties, something long overdue. Yep, I’ll take my chances with the Libertarian candidates so long as the R’s and D’s want to offer up the likes of Trump and Biden.

Good post. I agree.

When a 3rd Party can even get in the ballpark…I will be there to hear what they have to say.

Until then…it’s a binary choice. And while the R ain’t great…it is head and shoulders above the D.

We loose liberty and the country slinks closer to socialism with every Democrat elected.

What liberty have you lost the last two years?

It won't matter what the republicans come up with if this is seriously on the table. This isn't shooting yourself in the foot, it's blowing your brains out....

A third party will never gain traction until you vote for it. A choice between dog shit and cat shit is no choice.

…which is exactly why you got Biden last time around. The lesser of two evils is still an evil. If that is the constant choice why do you keep perpetuating it grasping at the hope that something will eventually change?

The biggest liberty I personally have lost in the last 2 years is the ability for my family to safely utilize our property in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas.

The amount of trafficking that moves through is mind-boggling. Drug caches have been removed from the property twice now.

We used to spend time down there in the Christmas break. Now I am afraid to take my wife and boy there. The local LEO advise us that it is unsafe to stay on the ranch. The drug cartels control the area.

Night and day difference from the Trump years.

There are other regulations that also whittle away. But the total lack of control of our Southern Border should get the guy impeached — except it is part of the unspoken Democratic Platform.

Our Southern Border is a true crisis.

Does the mob buy from the cartels?

Are you looking for perfect? Great? Good? Okay?

Everyone's

opinion of each is different. Would you sacrifice good looking for perfect????

Would you sacrifice personality over policy?

You want someone you could hang out with or a leader?

Third party? How many elections you wanna throw to make your point?

People that want it all now.....rarely get it all....or now...

. . . so long as you are prepared to eat the shitburgers that the R's and D's keep serving, you can expect to continue to be served a steady diet of shitburgers. I'll look for another restaurant thank you.

Right now the war is to prevent Democrats from ruining the country. There is no viable 3rd party candidate. Voting for one simply aids the destruction. It amazes me that people can’t see that.

Vote in Primaries to get the people you like. Get out and campaign for them. Get involved.

I'm willing to accept this if you say so but the arrest statistics don't support it. The level of drug smuggling during trump's watch weren't that different.

You're on record as saying you'll vote for trump again. The guy that was responsible for the J6 insurrection. That's not "ruining the country", right?

Idiotic nonsense.

What I said was:

In the General against any democrat 100% for sure I will vote for him. It is only common sense.

But I also said I would not support him in the Primary and vote for someone else.

100% guaranteed…he won’t get the nomination this time.

One has got to at least emerge with some money and some structure. There are NONE. Not even a hint of a viable party.
