Making a solid choice for running mate is by and large the most impactful thing former President Donald Trump can do between now and election day. This is particularly important in this cycle for two key reasons. First, it’s the biggest way to potentially sway the few voters who have yet to make up their minds. The second reason is one that amplifies the first in a major way: Trump, if elected, may not actually serve his entire term. Sadly, he is of the age that anything health-wise could happen at any time. He will also be facing remaining legal issues which could ultimately lead to a Constitutional crisis and certainly multiple attempts by Democrats to remove him from office. If they don’t succeed right away, you can be sure they’ll try again in 2026 when/if they take the Senate.

That wouldn’t be a good thing, obviously, for Trump or the country. If he manages to win a second term - assuming he continues to do things I like - I will be right there rooting for him to serve the entire four years. But, here in the real world, the odds of that happening are probably lower than the odds of Trump leaving office to his vice president at some point before 2029. And even if........
