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.

3. Doug Burgum (14 cents)

WHAT? WHO???

**Goes to his Wikipedia**

Douglas James Burgum (born August 1, 1956) is an American businessman and politician serving since 2016 as the 33rd governor of North Dakota. He is among the wealthiest governors in the U.S.

Ahhhh OK. Got it.

Like Rubio, Burgum is a serious candidate only thanks to recent reporting on Trump’s thinking, but it’s still wild that this relative unknown has made it to the upper crust of the chase for VP this late in the race. That said, one look at this Gordon Gekko-esque motherfucker makes it clear why Trump looks at him with googly eyes.
