I get the disdain for JD Vance and Vivek Ramaswamy. Some find their personal stories unbelievable and fishy.

Just as Donald Trump was labeled when he gained momentum. But please fail to find the irony in embracing Trump while rejecting someone else for their fishy past. Only trump is allowed to have a fishy past.

So for VP, who passes your sniff test?

Remember, the person has to ALSO help pull votes.

My opinion: Most of the top runners either also have that problem of background (IE, Tulsi) or are not that well known nationally, or are somewhat boring or weird.

Jim Jordan - I love him, total bulldog, no taint, but not well known and not dynamic nationally.

Tim Scott - boring to me, not well known and not dynamic nationally.

Ben Carson - weird guy, not dynamic nationally. (oddly neither black candidate helps with diversity optics)

Tulsi - WEF member, inconsistent past.

Others, such as the ND governor whose name I forget (oh, Doug Burgham - uh who?)

My "unity" pick would be Jim Jordan. He seems to be squeaky clean on deep state or big money influence corruption and he would be as energetic as JD Vance.

But Vance will help pull more votes - he's basically already a celebrity.
