WASHINGTON Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is angling to be Donald Trump's running mate in 2024, according to two people who have spoken to the firebrand second-term congresswoman about her ambitions.
"This is no shrinking violet, she's ambitious she's not shy about that, nor should she be," said Steve Bannon, the former top Trump aide who hosts the War Room podcast, where Greene has been a guest.
"She sees herself on the short list for Trump's VP. Paraphrasing Cokie Roberts, when MTG looks in the mirror she sees a potential president smiling back," he added, referencing Roberts, the late political reporter who worked for NPR, ABC News and other outlets.
........
It also helps explain why she threw herself into helping elect Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., speaker of the House after the midterm elections and took assignments on two committees Homeland Security and Oversight and Accountability where she can participate in high-profile investigations of President Joe Biden's administration. McCarthy also tapped her to be part of the panel investigating how the government handled the COVID-19 pandemic.......................................

(70,501 posts)No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Turbineguy
(37,322 posts)Maybe she's too crazy for him.
Irish_Dem
(46,964 posts)She is a stronger character and capable of even more treachery than Trump.
A good Putin asset I think.
PatSeg
(47,418 posts)She could do so much more damage than Trump and it would be intentional on her part, not just the result of reckless, impulsive behavior.
That said, I don't think Trump would settle for someone who would take the spotlight off him much of the time. He prefers shrinking violets that he can dominate and upstage.
Irish_Dem
(46,964 posts)Yes MTG is much more dangerous than Trump. And paired with someone
like DeSantis we are crossing into pure evil territory.
If you recall over the summer MTG was fawning in public about Trump and including Melania
in the nauseating adoration. It appeared to me then that Melania was not a MTG fan
and had said so to Trump. Usually Trump minions do not kiss Melania's a** like MTG was
doing.
Or perhaps there had been some MTG and Trump hanky panky and MTG was trying
to cover it up. At any rate, I figured it was curtains for MTG's dream of the VP spot.
At any rate MTG was really working Trump.
But I agree with you 100% Trump most likely would not go for MTG.
She is not his type, he likes women to look a certain way.
And she is too strong, too attention seeking. Yes he will look for a female Pence.
PatSeg
(47,418 posts)Someone with no particular opinions and undying loyalty to Mein Hair. She would probably look good as well, nice window dressing so to speak.
I agree, I cannot see Melania liking Margie at all. A little too trashy, loud, and tacky for Melania's taste. Ha, ha, of course Melania chose Donald Trump for a husband, so doesn't get much trashier than that!
Irish_Dem
(46,964 posts)If you notice all the women around Trump, they all look the same.
LOL exactly. When you are too trashy and tacky for Melania that is saying something.
But MTG really fits that bill. Makes Melania look like Grace Kelly.
PatSeg
(47,418 posts)or live Barbie dolls, nothing real looking.
Greene is just about as trashy as they come. I've known loud, in-your-face women like her, but never expected to see one in Congress.
Irish_Dem
(46,964 posts)Ridiculous buffoons, ignorant, foolish, loud mouths, attention seeking and rule violating wonders.
This is no coincidence. This is what the GOP is looking for.
Putin likes it too. Makes the US look weak, foolish, irresponsible.
PatSeg
(47,418 posts)the republican party sought out for their votes, but at the time, they never expected those kinds of voters to ever end up running for public office AND winning. They only wanted to use them every two years and then put them back on the shelf after making them promises they never intended to keep.
Irish_Dem
(46,964 posts)Yes the GOP leaders have no intention of working for the people.
They either do nothing or feather the nest of their funding sources.
Perfect example of a corrupt political system.

(6,017 posts)That means nothing. Unless she's in his head in the minutes before he actually makes his "big announcement" (which the media will do doubt fawn over and make front page news)...how she sees herself is irrelevant.
Why, it's almost like she just needed some attention.
Can't let a news cycle pass without being in it.

Is it legal in Georgia to run for congress and VP at the same time? If not it would be a good way to get her out of Congress.

(5,801 posts)After red don got installed in the WH, nothing is beneath this country. With enough money and propagandizing, she could be made palatable to enough people to get the election close enough to put her in. As long as she remains a front for big money, she's viable.
Hope I'm wrong but I'm not chuckling over this news. She would be the death knell for the U.S.

Marjo's got the first part down, but to meet Trump's sexist standards, she better start investing in some plastic surgery.

JustABozoOnThisBus
(23,339 posts)... Trump would be jealous of the attention she would draw. Some news articles would be about her, not about Trump. This is unacceptable.
He needs to find another Pence, someone with zero personality, zero controversy, zero news-worthiness.
