The Ten Likeliest Vice Presidents for Trump

Due to the unpredictability of Donald Trump and the chaos created by his potential Vice-Presidential sycophants, I need to get this column up before he randomly posts this news during one of his cable news rage-viewing sessions. The VP chase is in the news this week thanks to one collapsing clusterfuck of a candidate, and we are roughly two months away from the Republican convention. One would expect Trump to make his decision in the coming weeks.

We’ll list the ten candidates from least likely to most according to their odds on PredictIt, a site that allows people to bet on political outcomes and for Sean McElwee to completely overdo it and ruin his reputation. The price to buy a “yes they will be VP” share as of this writing is in parentheses.

4. Elise Stefanik (12 cents)

The Congresswoman from New York and the fourth-highest ranking House Republican is another Gabbard-esque peacock who is malleable in whatever direction her interests push her. However, unlike Gabbard, the press gives her the respectable politician treatment, which makes her a formidable running mate. Trump knows he has a problem with women and he’s acutely aware of how to use racism as an electoral strategy, and campaigning with a seemingly nice-looking white lady is an idyllic image to a lot of conservative consultants for a reason.
