The worst job would be to be Trump's vice president

It's said that Republican stalwarts are jostling for position to become Donald Trump's running-mate in the presidential election. Politicians such as Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, North Dakota governor Doug Burgum, Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina and Representative Elise Stafanik of New York Personally, I qwould have thought being Trump's running-mate and potential vice president in a Trump administration would be a job from hell. Nothing worse in any political world. Look what happened to poor old Mike Pence. Four years as Trump's vice president, standing in the background like an awkward wax statue trying not to look shocked or dismayed as his boss made some outrageous statement or other and finally being harangued to twist the 2020 election result and try and force Congress to overturn Joe Biden's victory. And where is Pence now? Nowhere. So why on earth are these Republicans so desperate to be the one standing mutely behind Trump for the foreseeable future? I guess it's the glamour with a very small 'g' and being part of the secret circle of insiders and, of couser, the potential for being the president in due course. But what a cost to have to pay. Anyway, Trump would be stupid not to pick Nikki Haley as his running-mate if he is going to improve his chances of winning in November. But my advice to the former governor of South Carolina is: turn him down!
