Pick a Republican ticket: MT Treasurer/Eharding or RINO Tom/Vosem

[America Needs R'hllor]

Would enthusiastically support Tom and Vosem

[Green Line]

Definitely Tom and Vosem.  The other two are RINOs.

[DavidB.]

Can't we have a TNVol/Vosem ticket instead?

[Goldwater]

Can't we have a TNVol/Vosem ticket instead?

What? You don't like Tom?

[🕴🏼Melior🕴🏼]

RINO Tom/Vosem, obviously.

[RFayette]

Can't we have a TNVol/Vosem ticket instead?

As long as Vosem doesn't have any influence in picking SCOTUS justices (or supports picking pro-life ones only), I support this.

-I disfavor the banning of all abortion (or worse, selectively banning the abortion of the unfit, as in Pence's Indiana), but I strongly support overturning Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board, Obergefell v. Hodges, and other feel-good Constitution-shredding decisions. My favorite Supreme Court Justice currently is Thomas. I completely oppose a living Constitution, which is nothing more than a dead one unmoored from the text.

[Vosem]

Well, I hadn't noticed this thread earlier, but obviously I would back myself in this match-up. Thanks for all the support, guys.

I like how Russians (of both extremely different convictions) both got to be the VP picks.

Like

Vosem/Tom would be better, but yeah. Tom/Vosem.

The further Vosem is from the ticket, the better.

[Blackacre]

I like TNVol fine as a person, but I don't agree with him on really any policies. Decent person though; he'd be able to run the ship of state competently enough, and I'd vote for him in a GE over jfern.

Vosem seems fine, I really haven't interacted with them enough to say anything more than that but they seem like solid FF material.

I absolutely cannot stand eharding. Like, at all.

RINO Tom is pretty cool. Even if I sometimes think he'd be better suited to my side of the isle but seriously, dude's intelligent and a positive force on Atlas. Monikers and all.

So my choice is obvious... however, RINO Tom/Vosem is an impossible ticket because they're both from Illinois. Either one of them has to move or RINO Tom needs to put somebody else on the bottom of the ticket. Maybe Badger, or MasterJedi, or Old School Republican, or TD, or PiT? Or literally any blue avatar not from Illinois

To clarify, I meant politically.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

None of these options.

[RINO Tom]

Guess I'll have to run from my actual home of Iowa, despite my cultural and sentimental attachment to my birthplace, the Land of Lincoln.

...I've also lived in Ohio for many years, with my Illinois avatar being an Artifact (I lived in Illinois before 2005, and still identified mostly with that state when I signed up for this forum in 2009). Still not very regionally balanced, but it won't preclude us from winning the Land of Lincoln's electoral votes.

Amazing these two #NeverTrump RINOs hail from Iowa and Ohio.

[Santander]

Amazing these two #NeverTrump RINOs hail from Iowa and Ohio.

Nah, once a FIB, always a FIB.

[RINO Tom]

Amazing these two #NeverTrump RINOs hail from Iowa and Ohio.

Nah, once a FIB, always a FIB.

I mean, I'm White and it was just last election that Illinois Whites voted to the right of Iowa Whites, yes?
