VPs tend to be overrated. Yes, Biden was a former VP and now he's the POTUS.
More often you get somebody like Harris, Gore, Quayle or Pence.
A nobody.

Normally, yes. But this time, it’s vital to get the right person for the job, if for no other reason than to serve as an insurance policy. Choosing someone who is as committed to draining the swamp as Trump is, is the best way to deter attempts to remove him either through continued lawfare or through physical harm. Picking an Establishment candidate in order to balance out the ticket, is not an option this time around. That’s why none of the current crop of contenders should be chosen.
A few possibilities that come to my mind are, Ken Paxton, Kash Patel, John Ratcliff. The focus should not be on rhetoric. Rousing speakers come and go. Many of them turn out to be nothing but talk. Just think back about ten years ago and how promising Trey Gowdy appeared to so many of us, based primarily on his ability to cross-examine. So, that type of thing can be deceiving. IMO, we need someone with a track record of doing the right thing. Finding someone who isn’t actively campaigning for the job, would be a good start.
