Who will be dumb enough to become Donald Trump's vice president?

One of the biggest questions swirling around Donald Trump’s reelection campaign – aside from “Will he or won’t he be a convicted felon?” and “Are we really doing this again, people?” – is a tricky one: Who will be the former president and current criminal defendant’s vice presidential candidate?

That anyone would consider applying for the job is remarkable. It’s like asking for volunteers to report for sticking-your-finger-in-a-light-socket duty. The position of Trump’s vice president brings with it the kind of job safety only found among nervous snake handlers and crash-test dummies.

And yet, people are actually vying for the gig. A pack of them descended on South Florida this weekend to debase themselves before a twice-impeached former one-term president who demands absolute loyalty while dispensing none.

A parade of hapless souls are actually hoping to be Trump's VP pick

Among the reported contenders are billionaire North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, former GOP presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio.

Could be hazardous to your health. Remember "Hang Mike Pence"?

Honesty and integrity.

What they will bring is total subservience to Donald Trump.

Why would anyone in public office jettison their integrity to get the brass ring,? It blows my mind.

Say "to become his running mate". The notion that the person he chooses will be vice president is unthinkable. Language is important.

...my money is on Tim Scott. He won't try to steal the spotlight. No one upstages Dolt 45.
