For this reason, you can eliminate any “outsiders” with no political pedigree from consideration. That means no Vivek, and probably no Ben Carson either.
It should be Kristi Noem. She helps minimizes Trump’s weak points in so many ways, and when making this kind of selection you simply can’t go wrong with a rancher’s daughter. :-)
You make some good points, but I don’t think the establishment chose Sarah Palin for McCain in ‘08. And I don’t think after the complete lack of support from the DC republicans that Trump is going to be dictated to by them.
Just sayin…
