I’ve read several articles about Trump’s VP pick. What I am not seeing is any mention of the importance of the VP pick for the future.
If Trump wins he will have only 4 years to turn this country around. I doubt even he can do this during his brief Presidency. It is critically important that the VP pick can win in 2028 & carry on the MAGA legacy for as much a 8 years after Trump.
Why would Trump choose a Niki H., who would take us back to the days of Pubs again playing the game of “go along to get along” with Rats, which has gotten us nothing but $35T debt, inflation, endless wars, a wide open border, & a falling standard of living.
The only previous candidate, the only politician who sounds remotely like Trump in terms of his vision for America is Vivek Ramaswamy.
IMHO, Trump’s VP pick will be the most important decision of his next Presidency. He doesn’t need a VP pick to help win in 2024, he’s doing that on his own. Picking another stinker like Pence or Haley will stab the MAGA movement in the back. The person he picks should be his presumed successor.
VPs rarely make for effective Presidents anyway. They are usually the kind of dopey career political hacks who don't inspire much confidence as leaders. Just look at a list of the people who filled that role over the last 40 years (in reverse order below). With the exception of Cheney (who was more than competent, even if I despise his politics), they are all losers:
Mike Pence
Joe Biden
Dick Cheney
Al Gore
Dan Quayle
George Bush I
