Trump had the election won. All he needed to do was take a nice quiet victory lap and pick a running mate that would appeal to independents/women and cast the new “improved” Trump in a more reasonable light.
So he picks a guy who famously said our country was run “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives” and called for people without children to pay higher taxes. WTF?
Nikki Haley would have brought folks into the tent instead of alienating them? So would Tim Scott.
Of course Trump isn’t concerned about that. He’s more concerned with getting impeached the day he steps back into the Oval Office. And with Vance in the hot seat, no Democrat is going to relish having Trump replaced by a worse gremlin.
If Trump wins, he just make a brilliant play and bought himself insurance. If he loses, he can look to Vance as a contributing factor (the other being that Donald can still talk).
PS. I would have selected Tim Scott. He would appeal to the above groups and minorities, plus unlike Haley wouldn’t stab Donald in the back.
