Trump Has Made Two Perfect VP Picks

Donald Trump has made two vice presidential picks. In 2016 he chose Mike Pence,
and in 2024 he chose JD Vance. Each of these picks was brilliant in its own
right.

2016: Mike Pence

During the 2016 Republican primary, Trump faced significant resistance from
within the Republican party for having a morally objectionable character, for
not being a principled conservative, and for not having enough requisite
understanding of politics to successfully run an administration. However, Trump
emerged from a hotly contested primary ahead of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, two
highly respected figures within the Republican establishment.
