By now, it should be evident to everyone that President Trump will be the GOP nominee. His lead is huge, and there’s virtually no chance for any of the remaining contenders to catch up. Interestingly, even if he were to face imprisonment today, his support would likely double. The discussion has naturally shifted towards Trump’s potential choice for Vice President, with increasing chatter about Tucker Carlson as the top contender, and for good reason. Revolver wrote a viral and rather compelling piece explaining why Tucker is the only logical choice for VP.

Revolver:

Contrary to conventional wisdom, President Trump doesn’t need a conventional vice president. He doesn’t need someone who will shore up his electoral coalition. Donald Trump is the Republican Party; everyone who doesn’t like it has left. President Trump doesn’t need another Mike Pence. He needs a vice president he can trust, both in this campaign and beyond. He needs someone who will make sure the historic movement he started doesn’t end with him.

All the conventional candidates will betray the president—just like they already have by entering the race against him. They’re freeloaders who don’t offer Trump any value. They want to return Washington to the status quo that President Trump upended. They want to terraform a new swamp.

And the only loyal choice is Tucker.

Tucker Carlson is loyal to President Trump’s person and vision. This, of course, doesn’t mean that Tucker isn’t willing to be critical of Trump’s decisions. It is precisely because of Tucker’s loyalty to Trump’s America First legacy that, at certain times, Tucker would take to his television audience to voice his displeasure (at, say, Trump’s hiring of John Bolton). True loyalty is not only compatible with constructive criticism; it requires it. Contrast this with the seemingly endless line of sycophants salivating at the first opportunity to stick the knife in Trump when it counts. Nobody has denounced the corrupt judicial campaign against President Trump more vocally than Tucker Carlson. Nobody is surer to have his back against the bogus charges filed by rogue prosecutors. Every career politician will turn on him, just like they turned on him when the Access Hollywood tapes dropped. In fact, by the very act of running for president, the current crop of candidates have all tried on Trump’s shoes for size. If they’re playing nice now, it’s because they realize their collective effort to take him out has failed.

With Tucker as his number two, President Trump will have a deputy who can match his ferocious campaign pace—overwhelming the opposition with energy and enthusiasm. The Biden camp, or whoever the Democrats put forward, will not know what hit them. Tucker Carlson has the starpower and charisma to hit the campaign trail hard. President Trump will almost certainly be confined to a courtroom for large swaths of the campaign season. He needs someone who can get out and rally voters on his behalf. None of the others can attract a crowd. They’re politicians, not entertainers.

We encourage you to read the entire piece, which delves even deeper into why Tucker is the best choice. It also outlines the potential pitfalls of Trump selecting one of the uninspiring stiffs currently on the debate stage.

READ: Trump-Carlson Is the Golden Ticket and It’s Not Even Close

However, the Tucker VP debate just took a very interesting turn. According to reports, former First Lady Melania Trump wants the fiery populist on Trump’s 2024 ticket as well, and we’re hearing that President Trump is thrilled.

The news is spreading like wildfire, and MAGA couldn’t be happier.

Radar Online:

Melania Trump reportedly wants her embattled ex-president husband, Donald Trump, to name Tucker Carlson as his 2024 vice president running mate, RadarOnline.com has learned.

In a surprising development to come as the race for the 2024 White House continues to heat up, sources familiar with the matter revealed that the former first lady has pushed ex-President Trump to name Carlson as his running mate for next year.

According to Axios, Melania is an “advocate” for the fired Fox News star.

Sources close to Trump’s 2024 campaign also claimed that Melania believes Carlson “would make a powerful onstage extension” of her ex-president husband with less than one year to go before the election in November.
Axios also suggested that a Trump-Carlson ticket “might encourage” Melania to hit the campaign trail – something she has largely failed to do ever since Trump announced his 2024 run late last year.

Former President Trump previously hinted at a possible Trump-Carlson ticket, and he admitted that he “likes” the fired Fox News star “a lot.”

If Tucker has the Melania seal of approval, the possibility of a “Vice President Tucker” could be more realistic than many of us initially thought. The challenging part will be President Trump’s ability to dismiss all the political “experts” who will undoubtedly pressure him to choose an “establishment type” to appease the #NeverTrump vote. We’ve seen how that disaster played out last time with Pence, so let’s hope he bucks the system and goes rogue with a VP selection that will truly disrupt the status quo.
