Trump already thought putting Kanye West on a ticket would give him a win. After his loss, Trump cannot stop himself from whining hysterically: "The election was rigged."

In point of fact, Trump knows it was rigged all kinds of ways... in his favor.

Poor Donald. Sucks to rig an election and still lose it... and he's lost it in many more ways than one. :)

VP Scott, with Trump elderly and in poor health, means the incredibly and thoroughly racist Trump base would find itself very likely voting for *another* goddamned Black president. Trump's not so dumb as to pick a VP that would actually alienate his base, no matter what arguments one might make that Scott would broaden the GOP ticket's appeal to the legendary independents and suburban moms.
