Running mates don't usually matter, but this year Trump's pick will provide a key contrast with Kamala Harris.
If you are on the fence between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, consider the current Vice President and the past cases of Breckinridge Long and of RimaAnn Nelson. The only major 'known unknown' in this campaign that is certain to impact some votes is Trump’s choice of a running mate. My long-time opinion is that the candidates for the second spot just don't matter much.
’ve long argued for a veteran as Trump’s running mate like Senators Tom Cotton, Joni Ernst or J.D. Vance or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. There are other names such as Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and former National Security Advisor Ambassador Robert C. O’Brien , but the basic idea and imperative are obvious: the former president’s first big announcement should crush via comparison the often giggling and usually incoherent Vice President.
If it is a close election, it will help Trump considerably to have a veteran running with him, one representative of the next generation of leadership. Most important of all, each of these veterans and a handful of others know the world, it’s truly malevolent actors, and are experienced with dealing with the real evils of our enemies abroad.
With the likely return of Ambassador David Friedman to Israel if Trump wins and the arrival of serious people back at the top of our national security pyramid at Defense, State, the CIA and in the office of the National Security Advisor, Americans would rest easier about not just the guy in the White House but also about the the jobs that are presently filled by the Long-Nelsons of today.
