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.

7. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (6 cents)

Probably not? There’s really no reason to totally rule her out. She’s as Trumpy as they come, and she’s got more Trumpist bona fides than anyone else, as she served as his chief mouthpiece for nearly two years. She just doesn’t seem to move the needle the way that other people on this list do, and remember that this is all being viewed through the lens of a game show host. We need some level of pizazz, and Sanders just doesn’t have that kind of “look at me” energy Trump idealizes.
