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.

6. Tulsi Gabbard (8 cents)

Oh hell yes. Now we’re talkin’.

No one else on this list other than Vivek peacocks more than the woman who has occupied every portion of the ideological spectrum over the last decade. When she was standing up to Democrats she did come off as a true idealist with principles, but genuflecting towards Trump proves all those supposed principles to be hollow. If you ask people who work in D.C. which TV show it most resembles, Veep is often cited, and Tulsi Gabbard is a great example of someone just oozing with desperate and cynical Selina Meyer power-hungry energy. This choice would shock a significant portion of Respectable America, which is exactly why she has a realistic chance of being Trump’s Veep.
