He’s also only 5’8” and we haven’t had a president that short since Ulysses S. Grant.  Which doesn’t mean he can’t serve as VP but if you want a strong candidate for the term after Trump 2.0 it needs to be someone electable. It’s actually true that the taller candidate usually wins at least according to one scientific study I found.

But his politics?  I love him, he’d be my second choice to Donald Trump.

On the other hand all women are too short. That was probably the main reason Hillary lost.

Aww, come on,
Dont ruin the visualization.

I think this is true , but it's also about being hip and cool to their peers, like we had long hair and ripped jeans.

Right. We had long hair (the men) and bell bottoms, the women went bra-less and got our ears pierced - ONE hole only per ear. Then maybe we wore big hoop earrings.  We did all that to fit in and be cool.

Today, they're literally destroying their bodies permanently. I don't understand it.

I had a German Shorthaired Pointer which is a very similar breed. He was a hunting dog and family pet. He didn't have a mean bone in his body. But all dogs are different like people.

A lot of the critics said she didn't train him right. That may be true, but dogs do have genetic dispositions. We had Border Terriers. They are bred to go into the ground to hunt vermin. They have a powerful prey drive for small furry things that go underground. You cannot train it out of them. In fact ours seemed to lack the ability to look UP for prey.  They'd chase a squirrel off the porch and as soon as it ran up a tree they'd be looking in every direction except up. They were baffled, they had no idea where it went.  It was so hilarious.

The corrupt fbi-doj-cia scum might choose to ‘allow’ the voters to decide who to vote for as long as President a trump chooses the ‘right’ VP to run with him, because they can always hijack the courts and have him removed, or arrange an ‘accident’ for him.

Arkancide seems the new swamp thing,

That’s an idea. Who do you think would qualify?  Niki Haley?

Tulsi would not be my first choice. DeSantis or Vivek would work for me.

I’d be fine with them too.  Or Byron Donalds.  Or Ben Carson. Or JD Vance.  At least right now unless I learn something about any of them I don’t like.   Oooooo Rand Paul!  I don’t think he is being considered though.

The issues HOW they are put down.

For some reason, people are less squeamish about spending a day taking a dog to a veterinary clinic and having them put an IV Catheter in and injecting pink juice than they are about even thinking of putting a bullet in a dog's head.  The bullet is probably much more humane as it is quicker than a trip to the vet, which most dogs hate.

Yes, and people don’t understand backwoods way of life. When we lived in the mountains, a neighbor had a dog that he let run loose. It was a large aggressive dog and it started extending its “territory” into our land.  It began to stalk my husband. One day it cornered him under our carport and growled menacingly. It did not attack, my husband went inside, but called the neighbor and told him the dog was becoming threatening toward him. The neighbor apologized and shot the dog.  We were shocked, we just wanted him to chain the dog up or something.

But here’s the thing, we had bears and coyotes around, and people would keep large aggressive dogs loose on their land for that reason, to discourage wildlife and vermin, but the dogs had to be people friendly.  And these were poor people.  The idea of spending money to take a dog to the vet to be put down would be crazy to them. And like you said, they knew it was more humane anyway. To these people a dog isn’t a family member, it’s a tool for survival. Hunting dogs, guard dogs, working dogs. If the dog wasn’t a good fit for the job, you put it down. That’s the culture, that’s how they were raised, how their daddy did it and their granddaddy did it. 

Note to Kristi Noem:     Giving details on killing your dog is a really bad image.  Say "bye bye" to your hopes of a VP slot.

Yep!  A fatal miscalculation.  What’s normal for back woods and rural folk is totally unknown to city dwellers and probably most coddled youngsters these days, who never had to rely on raising their own chickens for food.

She should have known better. I’d not be surprised if her whole political future is gone now.
