Has anyone else taken note on Tucker 2.0? When I recently speaking to a group of citizens in Ukraine, I was surprised by his demeanor and suggested he came across as Presidential. As more time passes, I believe we can see more signs that he is indeed being prepared for greater things, and he has the support of the White Hats.
-
Leaving Fox News in a divisive way: Face it. Many people, including you or I, would not trust Carlson if he remained with FoxNews.
-
New MAGA stances: Tucker always spoke conservative rhetoric, but it was not much different from that of Sean Hannity. Now he is taking strong stances that fly in the interest of Fox News and the establishment, but align exactly with the America First Stance.
-
New Demeanor of Gravitas. Tucker has always been very articulate and clear. But if you watch him in some of his new appearances, you will see he is projecting a new image. He is evolving from being an inquisitive journalist with a skeptical face to a voice of authority.
-
Sudden prominent placing: The recent interview with DJT received over 100 million views within a day. DJT could have have chosen anyone to do this interview but he chose Tucker. This this week, Tucker also made a celeb appearance along with DJT and Kid Rock at the popular Ultimate Fighting Challenge.
-
International interviews: Lack of International experience is often something used at presidential debates. Almost as soon as Tucker's new X show took off, he began international leaders including the leaders of Hungary, Brazil, El Salvador, Argentina, and he is reportedly getting ready for an interview with Putin himself.
-
Donald Trump name drop: Donald Trump just said he would consider Tucker Carlson as his VP because he has common sense. I think that may have been a trial balloon to see how this would have been received, and also to give the public enough time to start looking at Carlson in a new way.
So I think Tucker could be looked as one to carry the torch after Donald Trump. Your thoughts?
Edit: many people are saying Press Secretary. I think this is way below Tucker and it would require no priming for. Look at the various Press Secretaries that have been put into place without any fanfare. FoxNew Tucker would be a fit for Press Secretary, but I really think they're positioning him for something much bigger.
Not so sure about 2028, but I think he will play a major role with Trump’s return. It will be wild and someone besides Trump needs to help carry the message.
Tucker saying My Fellow Americans would be the icing on the cake.
PDJT needs someone like Tucker to get through the noggins of the useless bottom dwellers!!!!!
Most of us on here are "somewhat" above average intelligence but I digress, Tucker is going to be someone who will ONE day be PRESIDENT...PDJT is showing him "HOW"!!!! PDJT is a MANAGER, and this is how one starts out...
Look I like Tucker, but I don’t want another “laugher” as a VP. It’s a serious role and should be taken seriously. I still want Gen. Flynn or someone similar. Preferably military. Tucker for press sec seems about right.
I like the idea of Flynn for VP also.
I think a Trump-Flynn ticket would be a super powerhouse pairing that would epitomize a no-BS approach to problem-solving with the results being actually getting a tremendous amount accomplished both domestically as well as in the foreign arena. Just MHO.
I don’t see Carlson in any of the traditional roles in government, but perhaps a new role with domestic-to-foreign analysis and review, kind of as a liaison to the American public.
Flynn could only be a viable VP if he was a widely accepted hero (because he comes from a military background). While anons know who Flynn is and widely regard him as a hero (I do), I suspect the majority have no real idea of who Flynn is, aside from the guy who was found guilty and pardoned by Trump.
Flynn may be the anon's pick, but its not practical, imo. Contextually, it doesn't work.
Flynn for DNI, or FBI or some critical intelligence related role that does the hard work inside the administration, I think that is much more likely a best fit for Flynn.
Might get downvoted for this but the thing is, does he fall in the 'took a deal, execution outside of public view and legacy intact' category......
People think that this is only the 'bad-guys' but to be fair it is MUCH more likely to many of the ones perceived as good-guys, someone completely gone and rancid would never do this nor would they be likely to be offered this way out, now those that have done shit to warrant this but that also have good attitudes and interests would however be offered such a deal...
I mean he has been too high profile for too long to not raise some suspicion, Tucker also asked Hunter for a favor to get his kids into a certain college......
So far the reality has been that whenever there has been one verifiable sketch thing about someone, it has invariably turned out to just be the tip of the iceberg....
Trump SR and JR at UFC295 pictured with several people including tucker and Rogan(someone that it would be silly to argue against him knowing what his hollywood buddies were doing and saying nothing about it for decades), Rogan also posed for a picture with Anton Lavey.............
So far everyone Trump has been 'sociable' with has turned out............................
I agree. Didn't he help Epstein get a his child enrolled at Georgetown?
Tucker sat cage side with GEOTUS at UFC 295 on Saturday.. Tucker would be gold as press sec.
Agree, Press Secretary would be choice spot for his skill set... to start anyway. No telling what he will evolve to over time.
THIS! Perfect fit for Tucker...press conferences would be kek filled! 😸
Like the guy, but I don't see how he would be qualified.
That sounds an awful lot like what leftists and RINOs said about Trump, just saying.
Running the type of businesses that Trump has and his business background are some of the reasons why I thought he was qualified. Tucker has nothing in his background that would make me feel comfortable with running a business, state, or country. Choosing someone on feels and emotion seems rather leftist to me.
But that's why you get him in the VP role. The VP doesn't run anything except special projects. It's a training program.
What you deem as qualifications is different than what others deem as qualifications; Tucker is very good at speech, very articulate and sticks to what he says whether it is specifically popular or not.
The VP position thrives on someone who can perform in this role, because their executive authority is much less than the Presidency. This is valuable for acting as an envoy for the President and ensuring that he gets done what the President needs to be done. Pence was suitable in this role too for the same reason, but instead Pence was duplicitous and demonstrably working behind the scenes and lacking the morality we need from a partner to Trump.
Additionally, making the assumption that it is an emotional choice is silly; I would personally choose Ben Carson for that choice.
Certainly don't agree with Flynn as a choice.
Lastly, and just like with Trump: there is no Constitutional requirement for President or Vice President to be specifically and arbitrarily "qualified". Choosing what qualifies them and deeming them unqualified is an emotional response to begin with, as that is the exact response the left tried to use. They deemed his business portfolio as not sufficiently qualified. Just because you or I would disagree doesn't make those qualifications actually relevant.
What exactly are your qualifications for the VP of the USA? How does the current VP and past VPs measure up?
Kari Lake would be the best Press Secretary of all time, but I'd much rather she take her giant pair of wrecking balls to the Senate.
many people are saying Press Secretary. I think this is way below Tucker and it would require no priming for. Look at the various Press Secretaries that have been put into place without any fanfare.
I do have some concerns regarding Tucker...those who've been around since the beginning will remember that Tucker hung out at Comet Pizza... 🍕
That was always cause to be looked at, but also important to remember that Comet was a destination for elites which is where Alefantis' influence (to the public eye, at least) came from.
It's not any more proof of guilt than Trump's one single Epstein plane flight that wasn't even to the island that leftists always try to bring up.
Ultimately there will never be a perfect candidate, and if there is then they're a Manchurian candidate like Obama was.
Tucker 1.0 or Tucker 2.0?
LOL
While I'd be fine with it, if I were Tucker I would never take a govt. possition of any kind. This would be a huge headache he probably doesn't need or want. But who knows?
I just wrote a comment on another post (Tucker in Spain) on this. I agree. Certainly NOT Press Secretary, imo. I think you have put together some significant data points here, and I think this is a distinct possibility.
The absolute best thing that Tucker has going for him is that he is NOT a politician, just as DJT was not a politician, when he came down the escalator.
Everyone is sick of the political culture of the Swamp, which has been and is well and truly being fully exposed. Tucker has a lot going for him.
This is an excellent post. You have couched the ideas well, laid out the reasoning and data points, and eschewed dogmatic opinionism but instead opted for actual discussion of ideas.
Excellent layout, and a very solid premise (one I very much inclined to think could well be over the target).
PS: On this topic, my comment from another post:
Plausible. Also agree that press secretary would be a poor use of his talents, even though he'd do well.
Press secretary is such a punching bag role. I'm not even sure it's worth having the position. What do we get out of that silly exercise anyway? Feels like it's long past time to re-imagine the role. Maybe a realtime comms team that interacts directly with the people.
Just do press releases on the White House site, don't take questions. It's not worth it anymore. They are too focused on one-sided "gotchas" instead of real journalism.
Good points. When I saw him at the UFC. I thought maybe he is being considered for VP….but I think Press Secretary is more likely….but I’ll keep an open mind.
No.
I believe Tucker Carlson would best serve this country as Trump's White House Press Secretary. His briefings would get huge ratings. He knows how to clearly deliver a message and because he knows the cast of characters in the press pool parry questions from them admirably. The large viewership receiving first hand accurate information would negate/expose MSM from either ignoring info that doesn't suit their narrative or reframing/skewing their reporting of the briefing to fit their narrative. I think Tucker would do a stellar job and love doing it.
Usually you need a weak #2 a yes man as vp For total war against the deep state you need an A player
Tucker is an A player.
I got that feeling too after seeing them together at the MSG last weekend. This could have been DeSantis, but he decided to sell out
Tucker could be the press secretary.
I like Tucker but I not as a politician. I would prefer someone like Sanders or Lake.
That is his biggest selling point. He is NOT a politician. Neither is Lake.
The era of the Swamp politician is over. Term limits, and actual people from the public serving. Not career politicians.
Yeah but Tucker is the ONLY truth in the media. He is needed there in my view,
I think it should be James Wood. Can deliver lines and has the IQ for 5D chess. Carlson can be a bit slow with the light switch.
Can you feel it? Ascension. Now is the time that separates the men from the boys. God's speed tucker.
I still think Kari Lake is tough enough for the VP spot. But it's probably going to be Mike Flynn. I think Tucker's skill-set will have a perfect niche and we just don't know yet... but Trump does
Good. I followed him for years and he is solid.
Tucker does a better job of having integrity and having a level head than most. He would be a very good contrast to Trump, and has actually done a very good job of speaking out.
It's a ticket I would absolutely support with no real criticisms. I don't think that he'd go for it though.
I like tucker... I do. Can anyone clear up the comet ping-pong thing with tucker though?
Tucker is CIA
Yes please?
Kid Rock for VP
I think you are spot on. And I think Watters would make a great press secretary or Ducey.
