Potential Bundy running mates for 2000
1. John Danforth
fmr. Senator for Missouri (1976–1995)
+ was recommended as 1st pick by Cheney
+ party loyalist and old as hell
- seems too honourable (Bundy veep needs to be just as devious)
2. Christine Todd Whitman
Governor for New Jersey (1994-)
+ woman (amirite)
+ Hero of the World Wrestling Federation
+ first woman to do SOTU response
+ introduces an interesting dynamic with Bundy
- jewels in the crown
- Stop and Frisk photo basically killed her chances otl
- name too big
3. J. C. Watts
Representative for Oklahoma (1995–)
+ the absolute fucking
aura of this ticket holy
fuck
+ lobbymaxxing
+ 1997 SOTU guy
+ Chair of the House Republican Conference in 1998
+ former Quarterback
+ also young and dashing
- Representative (they usually don't get picked)
? likelihood over 2000s-era Republicans being able to vote for a black candidate (even for vp)
4. Rudy Giuliani
Mayor of New York (1994-)
+ devious mf
+ Stop and Frisk does numbers for National Security angle
+ loyal attack dog
- wouldn't be mayor during 9/11 (no sauce?)
- fresh off a primary loss for Senate (he announced in 1998)
- AND a divorce
- AND a cancer diagnosis
- a WA/NY ticket doesn't vibe
5. Dick Cheney
You know who this ghoul is (don't lie to me)
+ fuck it, if it ain't broke?
+ kinda cemented his place as the ultimate American villain of the 21st Century
+ absolute loose unit
- too devious for his own good (would have difficulty appointing his own guys with a more competent President)
? might have a lot of friends in the cabinet already
