Whoever Trump picks better be able to win over the American voters and win 2 terms in office, or at the very least the one term following Trump’s lame duck term.

If Trump goes in as a known 1 term president and has an unelectable veep, then the left will make sure that his term will amount to nothing but plenty of noise with no enduring accomplishments.

I certainly have trepedations but I am not wedded to the idea of Trump's VP being the 2028 nominee. That has not happened often in our history. Trump needs to pick a solid VP and cabinet members that can showcase their skills & commitment so that there is a bench of good possibilities for 2028. Alternatively he can work closely with other figures such as senators or governors to promote those people's recognition & accomplishments.

Four sitting vice presidents have been elected president: John Adams in 1796, Thomas Jefferson in 1800, Martin Van Buren in 1836, and George H. W. Bush in 1988. Likewise, two former vice presidents have won the presidency, Richard Nixon in 1968 and Joe Biden in 2020.

This issue is that Trump only gets one term this go-around. This would be his second time elected as President.

Amendment 22: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice...

It should have been DeSantis who would have been set up perfectly for 8 years following Trump, but instead DeSantis stabbed Trump in the back and showed his loyalty to deep state Bush RINO neoCONs.

Better that we found out about meatball now rather than later, but still extremely disappointing and tragic.
