Joe Biden and Donald Trump have long since clinched the presidential nomination of their respective parties. Thus, attention has turned to the question of whom Trump will select as his running mate. Based on conversations it claims to have had with Trump insiders (why Trump insiders still talk to the mainstream media, I don’t know),
I too think Kristi Noem would be a great pick, though there is one potential fly in her ointment. There are rumors she had an extramarital affair with Corey Lewandowski while she was the South Dakota congresswoman. Whether that disqualifies her in this day and age is debatable, I love it that Paul puts [sic] after a "they" the Post uses to refer to one person. This is bad enough when they is used to refer to a person of unknown gender, but it is also used when it refers to an identified person. The usage is grating and often confusing. If the Post insisted on using they, it could have easily reworded the prior sentence to refer to all potential vice presidential candidates. Jim Dueholm
I think there is still a double standard in US politics. An affair for a woman might be disqualifying even when the chooser is a philanderer himself . I personally would be excited about Rubio but as someone who votes for the GOP other than for Trump, I am not the target audience.

Not contradict him? What is she going to say when she is asked the question outright? No comment? That's the same thing as saying yes.
