Of course, the “benefit” of this assumes that Trump remembers he’s supposed to pick a Vice Presidential candidate at all at this point. Or that he doesn’t try to get both jobs for himself. (Or, the theory I refuse to let go of until I see proof otherwise–he tries to get Ivanka to do it. Maybe even Tiffany. He might not remember which one is which at this point.)

Cruelest US President in History? Is she joining the Andrew Jackson administration?

I’m convinced it’s not just about appealing to dog-hating Donald Trump, though. It’s a message: “If you’re sufficiently problematic, I’m cool with murdering you.”

Okay, recent history. I’m certain that if 45 becomes 47, he will allow his stooges to make every effort to beat the score while he’s off winning cheating at golf “tournaments.”

While I have no doubt she did as she said, isn’t this just an allegory? Isn’t she just telling Trumpy and the power/monied interests behind him that she has no problems taking out any individual or group that they don’t like? She’s showing them she has the cruelty that they want for their post-Trumpy days.

If she can shoot the family dog without reservations, she is the right woman to lead the GOP!

Imagining this becoming the official qualifying action for all new applicants to the (hypothetical) second Trump administration.
“All right, you’ve expressed your desire to be part of our team. Now it’s time for the litmus test. Kill your dog.”
