Vice-President Kristi Noem? Will Trump grab her by the pussy?

Donald Trump’s resilience in polls of the Republican presidential primary field is shifting attention to what, for the moment at least, is the only truly competitive national race for 2024: the contest to be his running mate.

Speculation over Trump’s potential vice president — a decision that would rest solely with him — has remained an undercurrent in the primary race as his rivals for the nomination, including former Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Tim Scott, a pair of South Carolina Republicans, regularly distance themselves from questions about their possible interest in the No. 2 job.

One Republican welcoming those questions has been Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota. She isn’t running for the White House, and she recently told Fox News that “of course” she would consider joining a ticket with Trump.

Noem, 51, fueled further vice-presidential conjecture by endorsing the former president at a rally Friday evening in her home state.

“Tonight, Mr. President, my message is clear: It is an honor to have you with us in South Dakota,” Noem said in front of a crowd of thousands in Rapid City. “You made America great again once. Let’s do it again.”

Trump took the stage, briefly hugging Noem and exchanging words. Then, for a quick second, a graphic reading “TRUMP NOEM 2024” flashed on the giant screen above the stage.

“Kristi is a warrior for American values,” Trump said, going on to compliment her handling of the coronavirus pandemic and her policies in South Dakota.

“I get endorsements, some good, some bad,” he said. “Some don’t mean anything. Hers means a lot.”

While South Dakota holds little sway in the Republican presidential primary contest — and even less in a general election — Noem’s endorsement is noteworthy because only eight of the nation’s 26 Republican governors have publicly picked sides so far.

Beyond Noem, just three — Mike Dunleavy of Alaska, Jim Justice of West Virginia and Henry McMaster of South Carolina — have backed Trump. Two others — Ron DeSantis of Florida and Doug Burgum of North Dakota — are running against him.

“Everybody should consider it,” Noem told Fox News about a potential vice-presidential slot. “If President Trump is going to be back in the White House, I’d do all I can to help him be successful.”

Still, Trump is said to be giving little direct thought to a running mate.

Some close to the former president said that was most likely rooted in superstition that such consideration would jeopardize his own nomination. Others said he had devalued the position, viewing it as little more than a White House staff position that carries little political sway with voters.

Trump raised eyebrows among some associates with private, offhand comments that Scott had not received much coverage for his performance during the first Republican presidential debate. Scott has been mentioned as a potential vice-presidential pick even though he is currently running against Trump, who didn’t participate in his party’s first debate.

Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump, said the vice-presidential speculation showed that “everyone knows President Trump will be the nominee, and he continues to dominate every single poll.”

Along with Scott, other Republican candidates mentioned as potential running mates for Trump have included Haley and the businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. Trump’s two-time running mate, former Vice President Mike Pence, has split with the former president over the 2020 election results. This week, he cast Trump’s populism as “a road to ruin” for the party.

In a radio interview this week, Trump told Hugh Hewitt, a conservative talk show host, that he was unlikely to make an early decision on a vice president — brushing aside the idea that his running mate could help campaign in the spring when the former president is facing multiple criminal trials.

“There’s never been a vice president that got a president elected, because it doesn’t work that way,” Trump said. “It sounds good and everything, but the president gets himself elected.”

Trump endorsed Noem for governor in 2018, and she was an ardent ally during his presidency. When she hosted him in 2020, her laudatory public remarks prompted speculation that she was hoping to replace Pence on the Republican ticket.

Noem changed her tune somewhat after Republicans fell short of expectations in last year’s midterm elections. In an interview with The New York Times at the time, Noem — who was frequently cited as a potential 2024 candidate — floated the thought that she did not believe Trump offered “the best chance” for Republicans.

Still, Noem stayed out of a crowded Republican primary in which Trump is far and away the front-runner, and she has more recently voiced support for him in cable news appearances.

On Thursday, she told conservative news channel Newsmax that she would “in a heartbeat” consider being Trump’s running mate if asked.

This bitch is running ads in other states where she's cosplaying as a dentist and plumber, trying to lure people to South Dakota with the promise of no taxes and they'll accept training/certification from other states. She thinks she's being cutesy and folksy--I can't get past her botoxed face and chicken wing arms.

Let's start coming up with campaign slogans for her!

Is she big with the religious types? He needs to cater to the fundamentalists to keep that vote. That's why he picked Pence originally.

by Anonymousreply 6September 9, 2023 8:14 PM

Don’t be fooled by this. You’ve all seen All About Eve.

The expectation is that he gets convicted next year and will have to drop his reelection plans, possibly as part of a plea deal. Then he will need to anoint a loyalist to be the standarbearer for the cult. She wants to be the Nominee.

by Anonymousreply 7September 9, 2023 8:17 PM

The expectation was that she would run this year and she hasn’t. Why? It’s obvious.

Of course, she’ll never win the general because she’s a woman.

Another Midwesterner pick as Republican VP nominee would play well in the Midwest.

Pence was from Indiana, and Noem is from South Dakota.

Not only that, but Noem is female, she's pretty, and ultra-conservative. She is a Republican Presidential candidate's "wet dream" as a running mate.

Kind of like Sarah Palin, except smarter.

If Trump goes with her, this might actually give him an advantage.

Picture Kamala Harris debating Kristi Noem. That worries me.

What about Tulsi Gabbard? Hillary Clinton nailed her when she said a female democratic politician was being groomed by Putin. Gabbard went from being a liberal democrat who stood up for minorities to being a rabid rightwinger who denounced wokeness. She said the FL Don’t Say Gay Bill didn’t go far enough and she filled in regularly for Tucker Carlson on Fox..

Putin may want to have russian assets as president and VP.

I guess it's a good thing, because at this point in American politics, all sides are dug in too deep.

You could hold the election today, and the result would be the same as November 2024.

People have already made up their minds who they're going to vote for, barring some major political or social event.

Do you think Kristi would outsource his diaper changes or will she roll back her sleeves and plow forward, like Kari Lake does? Would Kristi be as enthusiastic as Marge while taking his stank three incher between her thumb and pointer to give him a JO so he can relax? Which of these three degenerates have the largest bladder and the strongest stream?

These are the qualifications he's going to need, on the campaign trail.

Check Noem’s travel itineraries and how much was paid by taxpayers?

Didn’t married Corey Lewandowski have an affair with Trump aide, Hope Hicks, several years back? Didn’t he have a reputation for being “rough” with women, particularly his spouse?

Ol’ Corey must be a super fuck.

Reporter Jake Lahut of TheDailyBeast says three of the women on Trump’s “short list” include Congresswoman Elise Stefanik of New York, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, and former Democrat congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard. Others have suggested South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who recently endorsed Trump.

Short list:

[quote]During a Fox News town hall event in Greenville, South Carolina, host Laura Ingraham asked the former president about six potential running mates, including three of his erstwhile GOP primary rivals: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.

[quote]She also cited Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) and former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate who left the party in 2022 after aligning herself increasingly with the political right.

[quote]“Are they all on your shortlist?” Ingraham asked.

"Meth. We're on It" campaign

On November 18, 2019, Noem released a meth awareness campaign named "Meth. We're on It". The campaign was widely mocked and Noem was criticized for spending $449,000 of public funds while hiring an out-of-state advertising agency from Minnesota to lead the project.[194] She defended the campaign as successful in raising awareness.

If Trump picks Tim Scott as the VP running mate, and wins the election, what job will Tim be assigned to do by Trump? White House butler?
