Plus the VP pick has to help get Trump across the finish line. Trump can’t govern if he can’t get elected.
Trump correctly assessed that no Veep candidate has ever even slightly helped win an election. He says it’s a story for a few days on the news and that’s about it.
Looking back, I think he’s right.
More accurately, the Veep is the way another faction of the party reigns in the candidate. Reagan...Bush. Trump....Pence. Etc..
The last VP to help get a President elected was LBJ.
He stole Texas for JFK—and then joined the assassination club.
Be careful what you wish for—lol.
