“But, a good chance he would turn VP down.”
And really, who could blame him? Even the strongest patriot would hesitate to put themselves in a position to be ruthlessly attacked verbally (and possibly worse) by the left every single day of their existence. Considering what politics has now morphed into, I don’t see how anyone on the right does it. It has become a very dangerous and stress-filled line of work. And even if you’re a semi-left Democrat and if you know too much and pose a danger to their agenda... they might off you if you don’t tow their party line. (JFK was an inside job and Epstein didn’t kill himself.)
I wouldn’t blame him. But, he is in government, he is a politician and knows how bad it can be. He is still serving.
The speaker ship was offered to him and he turned it down. Any leadership brings extra stress. He is deep into the investigations now. Also stressful.
Appears to be a good man and would be honorable as VP.
Just an interesting speculation on my part.
