As for the Sarah Palin analog, Kari Lake is far better going toe-to-toe with the media and the Left (but I repeat myself). Sarah didn't have that skill. Kari vs. Kamala would be a hoot, and maybe that would bring over some of the women who don't care for Trump? 'course Cotton vs. Kamala would be one-sided, but who would that bring in?
I don't have a clue. My views have been crap for 15 years at least.
"the president and VP cannot be residents of the same state without forfeiting that state’s electors"
Article II, Section 1 and the Twelfth Amendment would seem to say so, but in fact we don't hold presidential elections that way anymore. No elector votes for president and VP separately, and the VP is not the one who receives the 2nd-most votes.
So I wonder why they can't be from the same state given that AIIS1 and 12A are functionally moot.
To be sure, I'm not saying DeSantis should be picked! I just need an understanding of SIIA1 and 12A as they relate (or don't) to modern-day POTUS elections.

Mine aren't much better, but it is fun to speculate!
Ok here's my speculation:
Tulsi Gabbard!

Good points, but do we want to open that can of worms? With Democrats ready to "pounce" on anything Trump does?
Certainly not!
I'm just not a Constitutional scholar, but I have my copies (2, in case I lose 1) from Heritage, so I think I know more than I really do.
