Trump has no military service. If he picks anyone who’s not a vet, many will be deeply, profoundly disappointed.
This is too big a choice to pick on the basis of ‘optics’... that’s a democrat way of thinking...
The biggest problem Trump has is our founders created a system that is intentionally difficult to move quickly. That STOPS any bad guys from doing lots of damage in four years - BUT it also stops good guys from getting a lot done.
It’s probably why Trump looks around and can’t believe the lack of ‘talent’ like you would find in the business world.
Might be another reason to pick Gingrich ....
