Top pick: Tucker Carlson
The QOTW presented numerous VP possibilities but didn’t mention the person I believe is the most likely choice. Most of my conservative friends are enthusiastically supporting former Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson. Carlson holds similar political positions as President Trump. For example, he is anti-war, feeling our policies in the Ukrainian-Russian war is not in our interest. He strongly believes President Biden’s open border policy is destroying our country. Besides agreeing with Trump on most of the important issues, he appears to be very honest, a trait missing in many political leaders. Here is a man who is well-spoken and has the courage to stand up for his beliefs. He would make an excellent VP.
— Bill Cool, Corona del Mar
No doubt about it, Mike Pompeo for VP
I am voting for President Trump based on his four years in office where I believe he did a great job for America. The thing I admire about Trump is that he chooses the best people, the experts in their field, to be part of his cabinet. That is the secret to his success. He does not rely on diversity to gain votes.
For his VP, I would like to see Mike Pompeo. Pompeo already knows all the strengths and weaknesses of foreign political leaders and how to deal with them. He has remained loyal to Trump and has spent his life serving our country. He graduated first in his class at West Point, served as a cavalry officer guarding near the Iron Curtain before the fall of Berlin, served four terms in Congress. Owned and operated a business. Previous director of CIA, and secretary of state under Trump. He excelled in all posts. If not VP, he should be secretary of state once again.
— Julie Kemp, Mission Viejo
One can never predict what Trump will do
However, at the present time I believe there are two people that stand out as possible VP picks; Elise Stefanik and Kristi Noem, both of whom are Trump sycophants. Trump likes pretty ladies, so former beauty queen Noem gets points for that. However, I believe he would opt for Stefanik as she is more in the Trump mold; she is mendacious, having a total disregard for the truth, and she is combative.

![Rafael Perez is a leftist political shill. His Feb. 4 article on the supposed cult of Trump is laughable in its irony. For most of the article, one could substitute the name Joe Biden for Trump and it would equally apply as far as lock-step behavior and lack of critical thinking by supporters in the face of a politician’s lies and half-truths, self-interest and political parties holding each other hostage. Speaking of lock-step, Mr. Perez immediately infers that devotion to Trump has commonalities with some of history’s most vicious dictators, joining the current worn-out chorus of the liberals’ latest fear-mongering […]](https://www.ocregister.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2018_1008_generic_mailbox_letters_to_the_editor3-6.jpg?w=513 "Rafael Perez is a leftist political shill.

![Re “Newsom discusses shoplifting incident he witnessed” (Feb. 2): Remember when President George H.W. Bush was roundly criticized for being out of touch when he seemed amazed by supermarket scanners, which had been in stores for years? Gov. Newsom just had one of those moments. He was shocked that someone at the Target where he was shopping walked out without paying. This kind of theft has been rampant in California for years, and he just noticed?

![No full-scale war in the Middle East I’m quite sure Biden’s commander in chief, Obama or whoever it is, doesn’t want a military conflict within Iran. Iran doesn’t want it either. Iran knowing the weakness of the U.S. under the Biden regime is just testing the waters. Iran denies responsibility for the drone attack; however, it funds the group responsible for it. It’s my thinking this will not cause a full-scale war in the Middle East, but when you’re dealing with terrorist countries, one never knows for sure.

![There is still nothing new under the Mideast sun Hark back to the days of the Barbary Pirates. When they would capture merchant shipping, crews, cargoes, kidnap Christians and other non-believers to be held for ransom or as slaves. Fast forward to today’s version of kidnapping, holding shipping, threatening perceived weaker neighbors, deep pockets, i.e. Iran’s nuclear deal, and continue to repeat. Once upon a time, Thomas Jefferson’s emissary threatened these actions and was ignored. Subsequently, the U.S. Marines went into Tripoli, captured and held the resident caliph. End of story.
