6:24Now PlayingAccording to conservative news sites, Donald Trump is laying out the list of criteria that he has for a running mate, and it is almost a certainty that he is going to pick a woman. But it can't just be any woman - the top qualification is that the woman has to be "loyal" to Trump, and an equally important trait is that she has to be "TV ready." In Trumpworld, that likely means that he wants someone that people would find attractive. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

This week, the Conservative outlet, the Daily caller actually did a report based on anonymous sources, which I thought Republicans hated, but apparently it's okay when their side does it. But anyway, anonymous sources close to Donald Trump. Spoke with daily caller reporter, Diana Gla bva about what Donald Trump is looking for on a running mate, and even win as far as to lay out some of the candidates that the man is considering. Some of those candidates include Marjorie Taylor, green of Georgia, Elise Stefanik of New York, presidential candidate Nikki Haley, Republican governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders of Arkansas, Christie Nome of South Dakota, and of course Carrie Lake. But it's not just that he's looking at those specific people because he has criteria according to these sources who spoke with the daily caller reporter. Those criteria include, as one of them put it, uh, loyalty. That's the necessary characteristic of anyone who wants to be VP President Trump.
And the movement was dragged down by the, by disloyalty in the White House, dragged down by disloyalty in the White House. And I can only assume that that is of course, referring to Mike Pence, who the only time he disagreed with Trump was when he said, I'm not going to break the law. It overturned the 2020 election results that, um, I guess dragged down as this person said, the Trump White House. So gotta look for somebody who's totally willing to break the law, I guess. I mean, you know, that's the only way I can take that. But it's not just the loyalty. You gotta have the look. We do know one thing about Trump is that he puts a lot of weight on how well you present yourself. That really matters to him. So I suspect that will matter for his VP choice. They added that.
He's looking for a running mate who is TV ready. Now, out of all those names I listed, the only one who really comes across as I would say TV ready by Trump's criteria would probably be Carrie Lake. I mean, she literally has television experience in her resume that's, that's actually all her resume is. So, I mean, she know, she puts on that filter. So she looks better on tv. She's not an ugly person. I mean, her soul is absolutely her policies, her beliefs, her attitude, absolutely an abomination. But Trump doesn't care about that. Like he actually likes her policies, he likes her talking points, he likes all that crap. What he likes more than anything is a decent looking face. And I think Carrie Lake fits that bill for him. Marjorie Taylor Green, yeah, she's done plenty of TV interviews,
But she doesn't come across as likable in any way. So I wouldn't necessarily call that TV ready. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, of course, very loyal to Trump, but definitely adversarial when it comes to being on television. She does not do well and has not since her time with the Trump administration. So that's not gonna win you any voters. Christie Nome fits Trump's criteria of not being a cave troll and also being TV ready. Uh, which is ironic because about like six months ago, I was saying keep an eye on Christie Nome. She could easily be Trump's pick, especially because she just won reelection last year so she wouldn't be, uh, uh, in a position to not have power and not run again. If she becomes Trump's running mate and loses, she goes back and would still have two years in South Dakota. So that's a plus for her being the pick.
Technically, you could say the same for Sarah Huckabee Sanders, but let's be real here. Trump is gonna pick a woman. And the reason for that is because one of the big issues that's going to be in next year's election, culture war issues, specifically abortion, Trump understands that Republicans or I think the people advising him understand that Republicans took a shellacking in 2022 because of Roe versus Wade being overturned, followed by Republicans passing all these abortion bans. Even in red states, abortion bans that were on the ballot failed. Women are mad at the G O P for very obvious reasons.
