Here's a scenario for you:

I predict that Trump will name Gen. Flynn as his running mate (Flynn it was who advised then-president Trump to declare martial law in order to stay in power after he lost the election in 2020). Flynn is playing well to Trump's voter base. I further predict that if Trump were elected to a 2d term, he would not finish it. It's a long shot, but there might be a President Flynn ....

Thoughts?

A further prediction:

If Biden is elected to a 2d term, he won't finish it either. It'll be President Harris.

Interesting speculation.

I predict, that Trump will aim to surprise everyone by the choice of running mate. So he will hint a lot and then oull the rabbit from the cylinder.

Could be Flynn though. I bet you a dinner in Karlsruhe.

Remind me...

This is the same Gen. Flynn that was in prison until Trump pardoned him, yeah?

Oh, I like Karlsruhe!
Been a couple of times, usually pass it and drive on to the Black Forest though…

You’re on, though it’s hardly a fair bet. Flynn vs. anybody. Can you be more specific? And not not-Pence. That’s obvious.

Home to the federal constitutional court.

Yup. Perfect running mate for a candidate who may himself someday want a pardon.

Quid pro quo.

Trump’s playbook is pandering to his voter base. Now ask yourself, how dumb are they? Dumb enough to believe real news is fake news and fake news is real news.

I think Trump will go for a VP he can count on to pardon him, if it comes to a felony conviction (after he’s removed from office, of course).

I see your point. Flynn has been very loyal to Trump and Trump seems to value that, but only with people he knows personally. He let a lot of Jan. 6 protesters suffer in prison.

Good insight on your part. Good thread.
