Maybe they've convinced him to pick a woman because in the end, after he loses the next election, they figure it's harder to hang a woman than someone like Mike Pence. It's Thursday, March fourteenth, and there are two hundred and thirty seven days remaining until America decides who will be the next president of the United States. The next major event that's going to happen in the presidential campaign, at least on the calendar, is Donald Trump's selection of his
next vice presidential nominee. Of course, the last one was Mike Pence, who for four years put on one of the greatest and most adept sycophantic performances in all of human history. It was astonishing. Let's watch Mike Pence sitting next to Trump in a eating when Trump, for whatever reason, puts his glass of water on the floor. Let's watch Pence, the man that Trump ultimately would try to hang for
not overturning an election and making Trump dictator. What's so amazing to watch is the servility in Trump's total dominance over Pence as a man. It's astonishing psychologically. In the end, though they built the gallows, the magi extremists were unable to find and to hang the vice president, or to assassinate Mitt Romney or Nancy Pelosi or anyone else in the United States Congress from that day of sedition January sixth. Now, Trump is back at it. He's going around the track again.
But one thing he'll do differently in twenty twenty four is he's going to run with a woman on his ticket. Maybe some of the people worried about Trump's excesses around him, who whisper in his ear, you know, maybe they've convinced him to pick a woman because in the end, after he loses the next election, they figure it's harder to hang a woman than someone like Mike Pence. The question about who Donald Trump is going to pick a vice president will rage across the headlines and be the source
of hours of fevered speculation across cable news. There are fallen candidates, competitors like Vivek Ramaswami and Tim Scott, both of whom will make the list, but neither who has any chance for this election. Donald Trump will pick a woman, and he'll pick a woman because that's the most cynical choice he can possibly make, and Trump is nothing if
not both cynical and predictable. In fact, the most amazing thing about Donald Trump in this moment in American politics is how befuddled so many people in the Democratic Party who are in charge of beating him seem to be about the most predictable person in a nation of three hundred and thirty million souls. Like the sun rising in the east every morning, Donald Trump will do certain things because they're patterns, because they are part of who he is,
and because Donald Trump wants power. He surveys all of the time, looking around, to the obstacles, to the impediments, what will hurt him. Have you ever seen Trump move so quickly as when in Alabama Judge basically made in vitro fertilization illegal. Donald Trump is from Queens and he spent his adult life in Manhattan. He has disdain and contempt for the evangelicals that worship him. He thinks every single one of them is a loon and a nut. When they pray for him, he mocks them, he laughs
at them. In fact, those people scare the shit out of Donald Trump, and he knows that he needs them,
and he also knows that they can defeat him. He knows that the dogma of control and authority and subjugation that holds from people like the religious fanatical Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, that women should not have access to birth control pills, or that women should not have access to reproductive healthcare, or that women shouldn't have many rights at all that they've established over the last fifty years is political poison. Donald Trump knows this. He's a salesman,
he's a marketer, he's a con man. He walks into a room, he sticks his finger in the air. He understands that he can't run with another white guy. And at the same time, Trump, who truly is a racist, will never put a minority mail on the ticket underneath him, and particularly not someone like vivk Ramaswami, who is younger, who is smarter, who's more cunning and richer, And Tim
Scott well, let's just say, underwhelming. Isn't the word you would use to describe his performance during the presidential primary season, but it's a good start. He will pick a woman because he will view it as concealing his greatest liability, which he knows full well are the extremest men that surround him everywhere. Trump wants power. He wants the chair, but he knows he won't get there alone. But at
any rate, let's examine the contestants. His defeated primary opponent, the former ambassador to the United Nations, the woman who kept her hand up when she was asked, even if Trump is convicted of all ninety one felonies, are you going to continue to support him until the end forevermore? Nikki Haley said yes. It's why she remains on the vice presidential list first seed. The rest of the contestants will sort out later. But there's Christy Nome, the governor
of South Dakota. There's Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the most prolific liar in the history of White House Press secretaries. Her ascension to the vice presidency would be quite a thing. There's at least Stephanic, the snarling fascist with a Harvard degree, who ran as a problem solving moderate, only to be overcome by her own lack of character and the depth of her own cynicism into the screeching maga darling of Trump's midnight dreams. There's Kelly Anne Conway in the outside lane.
She's more articulate than the rest. She's meaner, more experienced, and when it comes to lying, even against TUCKINGB. Sanders, she's in a league of her own. And while this liar's division is highly competitive, nobody should discount the women from the conspiracy division. Marjorie Taylor Green and Carrie Lake could carry Lake the conspiracy theorist, an election denier from
Arizona wind up on Trump's ticket. Why not? And of course there's the one and only Marjorie Taylor Green, who rose to become Kevin McCarthy He's best friend in the Congress. Now MTG, as she's ubiquitously known across the cable news universe, is a woman who believes in Jewish space lasers and QAnon. So why not. So there's the field Nikki Haley and Christin Nohm, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Elis Stephonic, Carrie Lake and Marjorie Taylor Green. And let's throw in America's sweetheart
from Alabama, Katie Britt for good measure as well. Now, out of this field will come a person that Trump proposes to put one heartbeat away from the presidency. And incredible, though it may seem, especially to me, a lot of these people make Sarah Palin look like well, Winston Churchill
put that aside. Let's examine the first contestant, Corey Leewandowski's alleged mistress, Christy no who gave Donald Trump one of the great gifts of his presidency when she presented to him a replica of Mount Rushmore, but with Trump included on the Mountain of Presidential Greatness right next to Abraham Lincoln.
True story anyway, the governor of South Dakota, the alleged lover of Trump's first campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, repeatedly arrested and charged with assaulting women, is very much in the running to be vice president. One of the things you'll notice about Christy no is she has a brilliant smile, doesn't she. Now, there are many politicians who have gleaming smiles, incandescent, brilliant smiles. Look at Gavenuwsom, He's got a great smile,
terrific teeth. The difference between every person in American politics who has a luminescent smile, and there's a lot of them, is that Christy Noam is the only person who's a governor of an American state who's recorded an infomercial for her dentist interestingly in Texas. Well.
Hi, I'm Christineaman. I'm the governor of South Dakota and had the opportunity to come to Smile Texas to fix my teeth, which has been absolutely amazing, Which.
Does raise a question, do we really want to make somebody the vice president and possibly the president because of the elderly Trump who's the governor of a state where there's no dentist. It's very strange that she would need to go to Texas, and it's even stranger that once she was there, she would make the infomercial let's watch a bit of it.
And so several years ago I did a consultation here at Smile Texas and did it by zoom, but could never quite find the time, and recently got the chance to work with doctor Davis. Doctor Dooley's always been fantastic to me too, but the team here was remarkable and finally gave me a smile that I can be proud of and confident in.
If you're in South Dakota, your tax dollars are at work here.
Yeah. I remember I got a phone call from Janelle that said, we can actually do this if you're willing to fly in husband and I flew down to Houston, got here at two o'clock in the morning and did an appointment.
Now this is effective advocacy. If you ask me, if Christinoam is able to make such a convincing case for this dental clinic, can you imagine what she could do for the MAGA movement on immigration with regard to the concentration camps, the massed attentions, the millions of people that will be deported, the arrest of political opponents and prisoners. It will be incredible to have somebody with so much conviction and an ability to articulate it sitting in the
VP chair. Christineom one of the finalists, no doubt, to be the second most powerful person in the world, a heartbeat away from command of America's nuclear arsenal. Well, in the months ahead, we'll get to look at all of
the contestants very very closely. But today, on the occasion of the first infomercial ever done by a governor of any American state, we'll put the spotlight on Christy No because she deserves it and you should know her better, because I suspect soon you'll be hearing more about her.
