[Wow. What an off the wall post.
I am flabbergasted that a candidate for POTUS should pick the runnerup and not the best VP candidate.]

Trump doesn’t know the best VP candidate from a hole in the ground. In terms of political skills, he is probably the worst winning GOP presidential candidate the GOP has ever had, and the list of half-baked winners is a long one. His candidacy is where Roy Moore and Michael Mourdock would have gone if they were billionaires - primary winners, but marginal in the general election.

JFK and Reagan were political legends whose shoes Trump is unfit to shine. For them, unifying a fractious party was job one. They understood that each candidate represented an umbrella of factional interests and to leave some of those interests in the cold was to risk losing.

That Trump thinks he knows better is typical Trump egomania. Unfortunately for his rep, his lousy judgement is obvious in the number of handpicked men who have badmouthed him after leaving office.

LOL, so says a rabid Freeper. Name one POTUS whose policies were as successful as Trump's in the four short years he managed the Country's borders, economy and foreign policy? Name one!

Add energy to Trump’s policy successes.

“political skills”
Too many have political skills. Too few love America and know how to return her to fiscal solvency and economic health. Worship at the feet of Reagan & JFK. I will measure by results achieved for America & Americans in all walks of life, against overwhelming obstruction and adversity.

I am not impressed by JFK
A major success of JFK’s vision was the successful moon landing in 1969, even though he didn’t get to see it. Efforts born from the New Frontier led to civil rights legislation, improved public education, and increased federal aid for the elderly and those in poverty. He helped to craft the welfare state & the Peace Corps.
