It matters.
Not to balance the ticket with a “moderate”.
Not to check boxes with a black or a woman.
Not to have an experienced executive who can serve as POTUS if need be.
Not to carry on the MAGA movement in 2028.
It matter because if the deep state doesn’t fear his running mate, they will assassinate him.
Trump needs to pick someone the deep state fears as much as they fear Trump.
YES! Trump’s selection of the VP must wait for the Convention because whom ever he selects will be tarnished by the Deep State Media almost at once. Trump must think outside the box. Not a politico with a long record to micro examine by the media—where they can find something in a high school yearbook to tar him with. Someone who can take the heat and fight back. Sarah Palin choked at her first big interview and Saturday Night Live finished her off with the “I can see Russia from by back door” line. Whom ever he selects will be pained as the reincarnation of David Duke and Gov. Wallace, if not Hitler and Stalin. Take your time Mr. Trump—select wisely and don’t pander to any group. Be Trump—be a leader with a man who will stick up for you and the MAGA Movement.
Bingo!
