Vice Presidential Olympics

The news is obviously being dominated by Joe Biden's selection of California Senator Kamala Harris to be the Vice President on the Democratic ticket. (I promise that this post isn't political, but I would be shocked if more than 10 people decided that they would vote for Trump or Biden as a direct result of this selection.) Trump loves attention and publicity, so he's probably sitting in the White House trying to figure out a way to bring the spotlight back to him. Want to make major news? Suggest that you're considering replacing Mike Pence as the VP on the Republican ballot. However, it wouldn't be fun just to interview Pence and other potential candidates. Make them earn the spot. Introducing the Vice Presidential Olympics!


First, let's meet our candidates.

*Former Presidential candidate and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.
* U.S. representative for Ohio's 4th congressional district, Jim Jordan.
* Former South Carolina Governor and former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
* Fox News TV host Sean Hannity.
* And finally, looking to retain his position current Vice President Mike Pence.

If there's one thing that Donald Trump knows it's reality television. Therefore, these five candidates will compete in a variety of contests all on national TV based on current and past reality shows. Considering the lack of new programming right now, this could be ratings gold. 

We all know that Trump loves to golf, so he needs a Vice President who can join him on the course. Enter a huge favorite in my household Holey Moley!



There really is some skill needed to putt on the various holes of Holey Moley, but the true excitement comes between shots. Is Lindsey Graham nimble enough to run through the windmills on the Double Dutch Courage hole? Can Jim Jordan race through Hole Number Two before the porta-potty doors open? 

The true test of the Vice President is his or her loyalty to Donald Trump. Sure, it's easy to defend him or attack anyone who disagrees with him, but how far would they go to show that they would do anything for Trump? Would Sean Hannity eat worms to show that he is the right person for the job? Would Mike Pence lay nearly naked in a tank of snakes to demonstrate that he deserves to keep his position?



Naturally, there would be a rose ceremony at the end of each round to see who must leave the White House. Oh, and no one would wear a mask during any of these contests because that would show weakness.

I guess there could be other contests like seeing if any of the candidates could survive 30 minutes getting interviewed by Rachel Maddow, but I can't see Trump going for this. Instead, let's see how far Nikki Haley and the others could go on an American Ninja Warrior course!


This would be fun!
